Hello Mongrels, I know I''ve been promising an update to mongrel_service, I''m working on it, and will shine, I promise. Anyway, for those using mongrel_service with MySQL, 5.x community series, I must inform: There is a bug report at mysql (#25621) [1] that describe the situation with sleeping threads that didn''t respond in timely fashion. That bug causes mongrel_service to stop abnormally (premature termination, broken pipe and other errors describing the same situation. As far mongrel and ruby code is involved, mongrel_service send the right things to stop them, but mysql driver add delays and take longer in release these locks, making the service fail. Wanted to share this with the list, for those without luck that couldn''t get into RailsConf this year ;-) Good weekend everybody.
