This is really killing me!!!! I reinstalled everything below from scratch Linux Puppy 3.00 Ruby 1.8.6 Rails 2.0.2 ruby-debug 0.10.0 mongrel 1.1.3 mysql 5.0 added "debugger" to a line in a controllor started mongrel brought up web page in firefox that would call the function in the controllor that has debugger in it. The browser hangs indicating it has hit a breakpoint the console then displays /home/scott/NetBeansProjects/webmonitor/app/controllers/driller_controller.rb:14 @drillerschoice = "choice" which is right after the line with "debugger" I get no (rdb:xx) debugger prompt and if I press any key I get a message that mongrel has stopped. in the development log Processing DrillerController#index (for 127.0.0.1 at 2008-02-02 13:59:34) [GET] Session ID: fc1bf7ce7ba6669f9570a9812302d4dc Parameters: {"action"=>"index", "controller"=>"driller"} SQL (0.000189) SET SQL_AUTO_IS_NULL=0 Driller Columns (0.001163) SHOW FIELDS FROM `drillers` Processing DrillerController#index (for 127.0.0.1 at 2008-02-02 14:06:08) [GET] Session ID: 05bdd2c0a0e7d34913a48d0195c4412a Parameters: {"action"=>"index", "controller"=>"driller"} nothing in the log to indicate a problem? It looks like I need to debug mongrel or debugger but not sure how..
