Waiting for 1 connection to finish

For a few days now since a major update on my rails app on the production server, I am getting the following error message when restarting the application:

Waiting for 1 connection(s) to finish, can take up to 30 sec, CTRL+C to stop now

I am using Rails 2.3.3, Thin 1.2.2 and pg 0.8.0 (postgresql gem).

Has anyone encountered such problem? I'm in deep trouble.

Damn it was a former zombie Thin process that was still causing trouble!

With kill -9 and restarting all new Thin instances to take advantage of the updated gem seems to have resolved the problem. I'll still keep an eye on it, and provide feedback.

This morning all my Thin process are stuck again :-(, something seems to happen during the night or at least during a long period of time so that all processes end up blocked.

Have you done any sand-box (i.e. staging server) testing prior to migrating your production application

from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3?

Cool my processes are blocking and here is what $ netstat -anp is giving me:

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name [...] tcp 1239 0 10.0.0.2:3100 10.0.0.1:36186 CLOSE_WAIT - tcp 1 0 10.0.0.2:3100 10.0.0.1:48261 CLOSE_WAIT - tcp 1107 0 10.0.0.2:3100 10.0.0.1:48286 CLOSE_WAIT - tcp 1239 0 10.0.0.2:3100 10.0.0.1:36192 CLOSE_WAIT - tcp 1152 0 10.0.0.2:3100 10.0.0.1:36189 CLOSE_WAIT - tcp 1152 0 10.0.0.2:3100 10.0.0.1:36195 CLOSE_WAIT [...]

Here is my setup, which I admit might be a bit overkill:

10.0.0.1 is a Virtual Machine that runs Nginx which proxy_passes requests to 10.0.0.2 which is another Virtual Machine where my Rails app is running. For some reason connection between these two is crapping out on me. Any idea why that would happen?
