Can the user that mongrel is running under access the log files? Read and write?

Sounds permissions related to me.

Yes, the application starts up fine and writes a pid file and log files. You can use it with no problems, but after a couple of hours or so, it just goes away. You can restart it and get a couple more hours just fine and then poof.

I suppose then you create a cron job that runs a script that restarts mongrel process every hour or so - otherwise, get a system admin.

Thanks, looks like we'll do the latter. I appreciate all the help.
