Mongrel users - Aug 2007 - monit not executing start/stop/restart mongrels

Alright, I have googles and read through the docs on monit

I get this error when adding -v starting monit

monit: Cannot connect to the monit daemon. Did you start it with http support?
monit: Cannot connect to the monit daemon. Did you start it with http support?

Am I missing something here?

set daemon  120
set logfile syslog facility log_daemon
set mailserver localhost

set httpd port 28212 and
     #use address   # only accept connection from localhost
     allow me      # allow localhost to connect to the server and
     allow admin:password    # require user ''admin'' with
password ''monit''


check process mongrel_9000
  with pidfile /var/run/mongrel_cluster/mongrel.9000.pid
  start program = "/usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails cluster::start -C
/etc/mongrel_cluster/mongrel_cluster.yml --clean --only 9000"
  stop program = "/usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails cluster::stop -C
/etc/mongrel_cluster/mongrel_cluster.yml --clean --only 9000"
  if totalmem is greater than 110.0 MB for 3 cycles then
          restart       # eating up memory?
  if loadavg(5min) greater than 10 for 8 cycles then
    restart          # bad, bad, bad
  if 20 restarts within 20 cycles then
    timeout                         # something is wrong, call the sys-admin
  group wwwapp

-------
mongrel.yml
-------

cwd: /home/wwwapp/current
port: "9000"
address: 127.0.0.1
log_file: log/mongrel.log
pid_file: /var/run/mongrel_cluster/mongrel.pid
environment: production
servers: 10

group: wwwapp
user: wwwapp

I was using the monit script to start - "/etc/init.d/monit start"
I have also tried "/usr/bin/monit -g www start all"

My mongrel run as the user/group "wwwapp"

any advice would really be appreciated.

Monit command line contacts the main monit process via the http
interface, and in your case it cannot reach it.

So, either the main monit process is not running, or it is unreachable
through the network.
I suspect that you need to add "allow localhost" directive to the
"set
httpd" section.

By the way, this is a wrong maillist (your problem has nothing to do
with mongrel), here is a better place to ask questions about monit:
