Zed, first off, thanks for writing/releasing mongrel. Terrific app -- filled
a dire need.

I had read the How-To page and thought of the --prefix option, but I have
the latest mongrel gem install (just did and update now to be sure) and it
doesn''t recognize the --prefix option or list i with start -h.

If I can get the --prefix command working (I guess with the next release?),
what does Apache need in that case? To summarize this thread, I''m
trying to
run multiple rails apps, each running their own instance of mongrel (or
cluster), on the same domain, ie. http://domain/app1, http://domain/app2.
I''ve been told to use ProxyPass in Apache to redirect from the mongrel
port
(ie, 3000) to port 80, but as you can see from the thread, it''s not
working.
