Mongrel users - Sep 2007 - Mongrel instance dies unexpectedly, but cleanly....

Hi,

I have a two instance mongrel cluster, running behind apache
mod_proxy_balancer on a linux VPS.  Mongrel_cluster is 1.01, mongrel is
v1.02, rails 1.2.3, ruby 1.8.6. I seem to have enough memory.

About 2 minutes after I start the cluster, one of my instances dies - it
could be either one.  The log file indicates that it received a TERM
signal.  The instance does die cleanly, removing its pid file.  But I
didn''t
give it a TERM signal, and I don''t think I''m running any
services that would
do so.

My searches haven''t been very fruitful.  Any ideas would be
appreciated.

Thanks

Farhad

Farhad,

You''re running on a shared server and when you startup the second  
mongrel more than likely the VPS system is sending the second Mongrel  
a kill signal because you''ve gone over your resource allocation.
