I''m no expert with configuring fcgi with Rails, but after lots of struggling, I managed to get it working with Rails 0.13.1. That was earlier today. Then, I upgraded to RC1 and followed all the instructions (including running "> rails . " in my app directory. Now, fcgi won''t work... fastcgi.crash.log is full of: [19/Oct/2005:17:11:21 :: 28484] starting [19/Oct/2005:17:11:58 :: 28484] asked to terminate ASAP (one for each fcgi instance), and when I shutdown apache, the fcgi processes still run. Any help? Thanks, Mike
