Rails - Jul 2005 - Fwd: Problems with the upload progress bar after updating to 0.13

Summing up some of the known requirements and working environments of  
the upload progress into a checklist:

Ruby:
     * Running the command `ruby -v` should print "ruby 1.8.2  
(2004-12-25)"

Web server:
     * Apache 1.3, Apache 2.0 or Lighttpd 1.4

FastCGI bindings:
     * > 0.8.6 and must be the compiled C version of the bindings
     * The command `ruby -e "p require(''fcgi.so'')"`
should print "true"

Apache/Lighttpd FastCGI directives:
     * You must allow more than one FCGI server process to allow  
concurrent requests.
     * If there is only a single FCGI process you will not get the  
upload status updates.
     * You can check this by taking a look for running FCGI servers  
in your process list
     during a progress upload.

Environment:
     * Add the following line to your config/environment.rb and  
restart your web server.
     * ActionController::Base.enable_upload_progress

Development log:
     * When the upload progress is enabled by you will find something  
the following lines:
     * "Multipart upload with progress (id: 1, size: 85464)"
     * "Finished processing multipart upload in 0.363729s"
     * If you are properly running multiple FCGI processes, then you  
will see multiple
     entries for rendering the "upload_status" action before the  
"Finish processing..."
     log entry.  This is a *good thing* :)

Session:
     If you store model objects in your session, you''ll need to grab  
Rails version 0.13.1

OS:
     * FreeBSD 4.x and 5.x has shown to cause some unpredictable  
behavior with
     the FastCGI Bindings.
     * No reports from Windows users yet.

Thanks to all for the positive feedback!
