-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks, I''ve finally gotten my first rails site to a respectable level. I''m not super happy with my code yet (not totally DRY) but it''s decentish. Thanks a lot to the list, and to the Daves et. al for writing the Agile book. Best purchase i''ve made in a while. But i have a problem (of course :D). Occassionally, my site will post the ErrorDocument 500 contents of .htaccess. I wouldn''t mind this if i could figure out why. I changed the message to: ~ Application Error ~ Rails application failed to start properly -- Try hitting reload. since hitting reload fixes the problem 99% of the time (hitting it twice does it 100% of the time). The only thing that shows up in fastcgi.crash.log is stuff like the following: [20/Aug/2005:06:48:38 :: 11937] terminated by explicit exit [20/Aug/2005:06:48:49 :: 29291] starting [20/Aug/2005:06:48:49 :: 27898] starting [20/Aug/2005:06:48:51 :: 27904] starting [20/Aug/2005:06:57:21 :: 27904] told to terminate NOW [20/Aug/2005:06:57:21 :: 27904] terminated by explicit exit [20/Aug/2005:06:58:18 :: 29291] told to terminate NOW [20/Aug/2005:06:58:18 :: 29291] terminated by explicit exit [20/Aug/2005:06:58:18 :: 27898] told to terminate NOW [20/Aug/2005:06:58:18 :: 27898] terminated by explicit exit [20/Aug/2005:06:59:46 :: 4242] starting [20/Aug/2005:06:59:46 :: 20974] starting [20/Aug/2005:06:59:46 :: 21902] starting Which doesn''t tell me much. In fact, it looks like some joker is running around killing my dispatcher. It doesn''t look like a bug in my code since a reload fixes it. But i can''t figure out where else to look. My host is dreamhost.com so i''m not running the web server. I''ve looked in what apache logs i can find and there''s nothing there for me to see. Can someone please give me some pointers?
