[Locomotive-users] general frustration

[ray palermo]

Hello,

Many thanks for answering my questions. I got the Monkeys app to run  
as described in the Locomotive help file, BUT I got it working by  
doing everything without using Locomotive(!). I then opened  
Locomotive and added the application, let it make the change to the  
shebang and - voila - my application stopped working! What went wrong?

Okay, so more dumb questions:
1) I went reverted the dispatch.fcgi back to its original setting and  
launched it in Terminal (i.e., without Locomotive) and it launched  
with Mongrel. I was expecting it to launch with WEBrick - am I confused?

2) I made the same change to another test app and launched it the  
same way as above and it try to launch with lighttpd (unsuccessfully).

Well, anyway thanks for your help so far.
