Comments on: It's not all about "unstable" Mongrel :) http://macdiggs.com/2007/01/19/its-not-all-about-unstable-mongrel/ Digging the watery grave and talking about PHP, Rails and tech stuff..

Very stable (as a server should be, of course). I'm running only 6 instances right now, serving 3 not very busy Rails-based sites. Indeed it would definitely be good for Mongrel to complain in some way.. but oh well that's how things are currently :) Monit does its job regarding this matter, though I was getting lots of false alarms, stating that connection is not passed to a mongrel instance (guess the instance was just a bit busy serving other client and Monit was not patient enough to wait). BTW, that's the reason I have turned off Monit on the server. Well.. anyway, everything works smoothely, so there's no need for Monit anymore. Ibrahim,

I would like to say that Mongrel has never crashed on me during the last 6 months, I have more than 12 instances running over 3 servers, all of them are happily installed and running. But I noticed during development that some gem / plugins tend to crash mongrel. So be careful what you use. So you can say that mongrel is intolerant but it is pretty much stable. I wish if it just complains about its problems instead of just fade away silently. And nice blog by the way.. :) I read your posts about your servers troubles.
