Why Won't My Mongrels Start?
January 1st, 2007
I’m running this blog on an ubuntu slice over at slicehost. To get up running fast I followed the “slice setup from onrails.org. In a short amount of time everything was running. The only problem left was that my mongrel_cluster script didn’t seem to be running when I rebooted the slice. I spent a good chunk of time staring at things before I just let it go. Then today I stumbled onto console access through the slicehost management page. On the console the problem was clear:
/usr/bin/env: ruby: No such file or directory
ruby was installed in /usr/local/bin. I created a symlink to /usr/bin/ruby, rebooted the slice and all was well in the world.
Solving this should have been a lot easier, but my Linux-fu is rusty.
