Mongrel suddenly won't start - reporting missing ruport file.
December 18th, 2007
A nasty bug, with only a brief workaround available.
After installing mongrel_cluster, my dev. instance for an older project failed to startup with mongrel, although it would with webrick.
After some time chasing down the problem, I located this report of the bug, last month.
The short of it is, uninstall ruport, all versions. Mongrel is requiring the ruport-0.8.11 gem, which does not have an init.rb file. So things fail. I'm not sure of the long-term fix.
