Camping list - Feb 2007 - FastCGI without ScriptAlias

Hi,

I made some experiments with the sample blog application, my index.fcgi 
file contains the following:

require ''camping/fastcgi''
Camping::Models::Base.establish_connection(
	:adapter => ''sqlite3'',
	:database => ''database/camping.db''
)
Camping::FastCGI.serve(''blog.rb'')

Without ScriptAlias the application works fine, but only if I give the 
url with "index.fcgi/" at the end 
(http://localhost/~gimb/camping/index.fcgi/). Loading 
http://localhost/~gimb/camping/ or 
http://localhost/~gimb/camping/index.fcgi (no slash at the end) gives an 
error:

./lib/camping/fastcgi.rb:180:in `camp_do'': undefined local variable or 
method `exc'' for #<Camping::FastCGI:0xb78443e4> (NameError)
         from ./lib/camping/fastcgi.rb:79:in `start''
         from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/fcgi.rb:117:in `session''
         from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/fcgi.rb:104:in `each_request''
         from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/fcgi.rb:36:in `each''
         from ./lib/camping/fastcgi.rb:78:in `start''
         from ./lib/camping/fastcgi.rb:90:in `start''
         from ./lib/camping/fastcgi.rb:123:in `serve''
         from /home/gimb/public_html/camping/index.fcgi:8

With ScriptAlias the program run correctly on my computer, but my 
hosting provider gives access only for the .htaccess files, so there I 
can not use this directive. Is any other way to run camping programs 
only with or maybe without .htaccess tricks?

Greetings, Bence

Actually Bence, that error is only partially related to the lack of ScriptAlias.
The problem is that without the ScriptAlias, you get an exception, and that
hits this bug in the exception handling code 
(http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/camping/changeset/181), that is fixed
in svn.  You can fix that bug, and then you''ll be able to move onto
whatever the exception is.  You are probably having the same problems as
me, though, so go ahead and read my blog entry on it:
