Where for art thou lighttpd
For the second time in a few days, lighttpd went awol on me. All that shows in the logs is ‘graceful shutdown started’, then ‘server stopped’. The VDS is fine and dandy, showing up-time of 26+ days. And the rails fcgi processes are all fine as well.
Perhaps this is a good time to give Mongrel a whirl. There’s been interest expressed around the office, especially after Redhanded’s quote from the interview with Zed Shaw about Mongrel using a parser based on a real grammar and parser generator, Ragel.
Alas, this bit of sysadmin has eaten the few minutes for my intended post, so I’ll leave you with just the teaser of a title for the next post…

June 13th, 2006 at 04:19 PM Just a general note on the literary reference: When Juliet queries "Wherefore art thou Romeo" in Shakespeare's famous play she is not asking where he is, but rather _why_ he is Romeo, viz. a Montague. http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/wherefore - 1 : for what reason or purpose : WHY
June 15th, 2006 at 06:01 PM Andrew: Careful reading would suggest I was indeed asking why the web server was lighttpd and not mongrel. ;) Right. I didn't think you'd go for that. You are right about wherefore, and my Intro to Shakespeare professor is likely shaking his head. It is commonly misunderstood to mean where and not why, but I shouldn't contribute to that misuse.
