Ruby on rails: Starting mongrel server

Question

I know mongrel is the default server for "script/server" but when I do that command I get webrick. (I had it working before with mongrel). Now when I tell is to use mongrel ("script/server mongrel") the server fails to start up in the terminal. I get this:

$ script/server mongrel
^C/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.1.5/lib/mongrel/gems.rb:11:in `require': Interrupt
    from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.1.5/lib/mongrel.rb:17

I just upgraded to snow leopard if that helps...

Answer 1

It took a while but I finally got mongrel (1.1.5) working on Snow Leopard. It's easy to do:

sudo gem uninstall mongrel
sudo gem uninstall fastthread
sudo gem install mongrel

It seems that fastthread needed to be recompiled as well.
