Phillip,<br>I installed ruby/rails/mongrel/apache2 on my freebsd box and had ZERO problems. In fact after all the juggling I had to do with lighttpd, it was shocking(in a nice way) to see how easy it was with Mongrel. I did not face a SINGLE problem with any of the components. I was seeing some sporadic lost connection to mysql server errors. I then installed the mysql client/ruby native driver using ports and have not had any problems since. I ran some supersmack tests and the results look good. I cant wait to launch my application and slap a "Made with Mongrel" sticker on it.
