Hi, I'm running RoR and have set it up more or less like described in the wiki (for instance here http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/LighttpdWithProcessScripts). I can start the fcgi listener and see that ports 7000-7004 are listening. I can start lighttpd, and try to connect to the server. I can restart the default.fcgi listening scripts that i see in "ps ax | grep fcgi". It serves the index page fine, but when I go to my generated controller (http://localhost/foo/hello), empty response. No error message, no default controller text (Foo#hello, etc.). Nothing. Nothing in the lighttpd logs or the rails app logs to indicate what's happening. Just nothing. Any help at all appreciated! Oh, one more thing, might be unimportant: irb(main):001:0> RailsFCGIHandler.process! NameError: uninitialized constant RailsFCGIHandler from (irb):1 Regards, Jim Setup: RoR 1.0, Linux, lighttpd 1.4.9, gem fcgi (0.8.6.1). dispatch.fcgi looks like: #!/usr/bin/ruby require File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../config/environment" require 'fcgi_handler' RailsFCGIHandler.process!
Jim- Try to delete all of your /tmp/ruby-sess* files and restart lighty. That usually does the trick when you get the BSORD(blank screen of rails death) ;-0 Also sometimes its a database connection thing. Or it has happened to me a few times of i was requiring a file in environment.rb that wasn't there or the path was wrong. It is my strong opinion that instead of throwing up a BSORD rails should have kittens all over the log files and stderr. It reallt sucks to get a blank screen and *no* log messages anywhere. I am not sure why this happens though so I'm sure its a hard problem to solve.

So you're saying that an application error, rather than a lighttpd config error, could cause this. Interesting. > It is my strong opinion that instead of throwing up a BSORD rails > should have kittens all over the log files and stderr.

There should be a more verbose debugging mode at least, but maybe there is one and I haven't seen it.
