Switching to mongrel backend

EZLO so far has been using a fastcgi backend, with lightty up front. However, this hasn’t been the best of worlds, since the dispatch.fcgi processes would die at a certain time in the morning, and I couldn’t figure out how why or how to find out how (I got as far as trying to parse […]
