Subject: Re: [ANN] Thin 0.5.3 Purple Yogurt release

This has been working so well on my Mac dev machine, I built it out on  
my RHEL server and started it with:

thin start -e production -p<some-big-number> -d

This is dropping it in where a mongrel was. Listening on a high number  
port.

I can go to http://rootdomain:<some-big-number> and there's my site.  
However, I can't get to it using Apache's mod_proxy.

Killing the thin process and restarting the mongrel verifies that the  
proxy is set up right.

Any thoughts?

Thx
