Mongrel users - Aug 2006 - Problem with: service mongrel_cluster start

Hi all,

I am having trouble transitioning from fastcgi to Mongrel. I have it  
all working apart from one small part, I can''t get the service to  
start on boot.

I have followed the instructions and if I call the script directly:  
i.e. "/etc/init.d/mongrel_cluster start" it works fine, but if I call
it using "service mongrel_cluster start" it fails with the following  
error:

Starting all mongrel_clusters...
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:  
command not found: mongrel_rails cluster::start -c sonar_radiant.yml
mongrel_rails cluster::start returned an error.

I can see what is happening, it is calling mongrel_rails  
cluster::start -c config_file_without the directory.

It should say:

mongrel_rails cluster::start -c /etc/mongrel_cluster/sonar_radiant.yml

Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Regards
Nathan

No, "command not found" is being reported by the shell that
runs mongrel_cluster_ctl from /etc/init.d/mongrel_cluster.  You
need get mongrel_rails into its PATH.  Try something like:

  ln -s `find /usr/local -type f -name mongrel_rails 2>/dev/null | head -1`
/usr/local/bin

The path to the config file doesn''t need to be fully qualified.
mongrel_cluster_ctl changes to CONF_DIR before executing the
mongrel_railses.
