Hi,

I was trying to use our litespeed with our application and getting following error:

Basically i created a instance from supplied rails template and restarted lsws.

For same configuration, i tried first with a hello world rails application which works flawlessly. But when I created another instance from same template for our in house app, litespeed doesn't work. The application i am talking about is, a bit complicated in nature and uses socket connections and mutexes.

I turned on debugging and got above posted errors. Can anyone have a look and say whats wrong here?

Same application,works with mongrel. I guess there shouldn't be any issue with rails configuration and stuff.

Please try setting "Max Conns" to 1, if it works, the problem might be the socket connection established during Rails framework initialization, you should close all socket connection at end of your environment.rb. Since LSAPI ruby fork children process off initialized parent process, the file handle of a open socket will be messed up.

If it does not work either, double check if any shell environment variable need to be set. increase memory limit if more memory is used by your application.

It turned out, it was issue with path getting changed when my app is running within ruby-lsapi module. It was looking for a program called cronolog, which was not in path and hence the error.
