Some testing a MochiWeb app

[manu]

Hi all,

I'm quite new to mochiweb and erlang. I was following RJ's posts at:
http://www.metabrew.com/article/a-million-user-comet-application-with-mochiweb-part-1.

However, floodtesting is not working for me.

My facts:
1. The mochiweb server is up and running, and the lynx test is working
fine.

2. After I sudo and raise ulimit, running erl takes about 500MB of
memory by itself, without running anything yet. Is this normal?
Running erl with my unprivileged user takes almost nothing.

3. Then running floodtest:start gives me lots of "Closed:
econnrefused".

Any ideas?

Best regards,
Manuel.
