You really should fix your mongrel setup, so it runs as a non-privileged user. Running web servers (or any servers reachable from the outside) as root is a major security issue. To do so, check if the places mongrel needs to write to (dir where PID files go, dir where log files go), are writable by that user, i.e. do 'su - project' and then try to create a file there. If that doesn't work, either change these locations to somewhere else, i.e. somewhere in the home directory of your project user, or make them writable by the project user. cheers, Jens -- Jens Krämer http://www.jkraemer.net/ - Blog http://www.omdb.org/ - The new free film database _______________________________________________ Ferret-talk mailing list Ferret-talk@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ferret-talk
