Mongrel users - May 2007 - mongrel_cluster 1.0.1.1 does not create /var/run/mongrel_cluster

Hi everyone,
I am going crazy over here! :)
I just want to be able to use --clean with my mongrel_rails
cluster::start command.
I''ve upgraded to mongrel_cluster 1.0.1.1 and mongrel_rails 1.0.1.
my config file is in /etc/mongrel_rails/config.yml
and contains:
---
log_file: log/mongrel.log
port: 8000
pid_file: /var/run/mongrel_cluster/mongrel.pid
servers: 2
address: 127.0.0.1
environment: production

in the following post it says the init.rb script from mongrel_cluster
should create the var/run directory itself, but it does not seem to do
so ( I get the message:
!!! Path to log file not valid: log/mongrel.8001.log
mongrel::start reported an error. Use mongrel_rails mongrel::start -h
to get help)

Also, when I manually set the pid file dir to what it used to be (the
log dir of my app)
it does not clean it up and still give the old message that a PID
already exists - i''m not sure if that''s because it''s
not in /var/run
as I have seen different comments on this.

Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks!
Ehud.

PS - I have also tried running mongrel_rails cluster::configure -C /
etc/mongrel_rails/config.yml again but all it did was overwrite my
file...

Sorry for the quick double post, but the error message I pasted is wrong -
It says the log directory is wrong (and it was) but after fixing it I get
the message about the pid directory not valid: !!! Path to pid file not
valid: /var/run/mongrel_cluster/mongrel.8001.pid

I do not want to create this directory myself since I think something in my
installation is wrong and the init.rb file is not run.

I created a startup script that just creates the
/var/run/mongrel_cluster on boot, since it''s removed every time you
restart.

Sounds like a ownership/permissions error.  Make sure that whatever
user you have running mongrel_cluster also has "write" permissions to
the log directory of your Rails app.  If you followed the instructions
on the Mongrel site, that user would be "mongrel".

The new init.d script already does this. Look in 
resources/mongrel_cluster in the gem directory.

I had an issue with the /var/run/mongrel_cluster issue as I''m not
starting the cluster via the init.d script anymore. I''m using monit to
start up each of the mongrels by themselves. Due to that, I need to
create that directory via it''s own init.d script so it exists before
monit tries to start them up...

kinda hacky, but it''s working for me now.
