Rails app upgraded to Rails 3 on new system isn't using Mongrel

Given:

• A rails 2.3.x application currently being upgraded to rails 3.
• Upgrading ruby from 1.8.7 to 1.9.2
• The rails app WAS using mongrel as the web server for development.
• A new fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook remix.
• I forgot to install mongrel before starting the upgrade so...

The Problem:

After updating some code so that delayed job is working, I go to run rails s and I realize that I'm running WEBrick. I install mongrel: gem install mongrel --pre for the 1.9.2 version and run rails s again. Its still using WEBrick, which wasn't the expected behavior. Before, I would just install mongrel and rails would know that I wanted mongrel instead.

Also, I'm getting this error when WEBrick runs... it starts and then errors and shuts down. (maybe due to upgrading or... maybe WEBrick doesn't like ruby 1.9.2?):

=> Rails 3.0.5 application starting in development on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server

It will be better if you add

group :development do
  gem :mongrel
end

Cause you dont need it in production

---

You need to add gem "mongrel" to your Gemfile and run bundle install

---

Just remember that when you add gem "mongrel" to the Gemfile, you'll need to specify:

gem "mongrel", "1.2.0.pre2"

Newer versions of mongrel are not compatible with Rails 3.

---

Alternatively, if you don't want mongrel, my understanding is that you can just comment out the offending line in new_rails_defaults.rb. The error message goes away for me when I do this.

---

Try usinggem install mongrel --pre

It worked for me!!!
