RoR Server won't detach with -d option

Question

I had to reinstall a bunch of my port installs the other day and now when I launch my RoR server with "ruby script/server -d -p 3000" the server wont work. I am not seeing any errors in the logs. If I start it with "ruby script/server -p 3000" it works fine.

Any ideas of what I might have uninstalled that would cause this behavior?

Answer 1

The -d option runs servers in daemon mode. Mongrel allows for this. Odds are, you uninstalled it.
