I've not used Mongrel so can't comment on this.

I found a page [1] that explains the purpose of the "m2sh load -config" 
line. I infer from this page that on the first run the command converts 
a textual configuration file into a (newly created) SQLite configuration 
database. So then I guess that the point of the "ls" line is to confirm 
that this SQLite database was in fact successfully generated. Since you 
mention that "the config file in the example doesn't work" I guess it 
was not successfully generated?

Since I've not used Mongrel I can't help you further, but if the example 
in the quick start instructions is broken it might be useful to let the 
developers know and/or ask for suggestions using the Mongrel2 mailing 
list at mongrel2@librelist.com (found this on [2]).

Good luck!
