[Instantrails-users] iconv.dll error

I get a popup error (winxp) when doing anything with Ruby.

title: ruby.exe - Unable to Locate Component
msg: This application has failed to start because iconv.dll was not 
found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Any suggestions? (no I haven''t done any manual editing or deleting of 
files. that file exists in the instantrails directory structure in 3 places:
php
php\extensions
ruby\lib

Any ideas?

Mike

Hi Mike,

Add ''ruby\lib'' to your PATH.

Instant Rails 1.0 contains Ruby 1.8.4 from the ruby-mswin32 distribution
because the 1.8.4 version of the One-Click Installer wasn''t ready yet.
Anyway, that distro enables iconv support but doesn''t include
iconv.dll. The
184-16 of the OCI in now available in a preview3 version that does contain
iconv.dll (but is still missing a c-based XML parser).

Can you try this for me. Follow the instructions on this page to get and
install iconv.dll and tell me if this fixes your problem? I''ll bet that
it
does, and this means that I should get out an IR 1.1 that upgrades the
included Ruby to the OCI.

Anyway, let me know if this fixes your problem.

Curt

[Instantrails-users] iconv.dll error

Hmmm... you''re right -- iconv.dll is in the lib dir along with
iconv.lib.
Its really not supposed to be there, but for some reason it is.

Anyway, it''d be better just to move iconv.dll to the ruby/bin
directory.

[Instantrails-users] iconv.dll error

I just got an email from Bill Walton suggesting I add ruby\lib to the 
path. I modified the conf-files\use_ruby.cmd file and the use_ruby.cmd 
file in the root directory.

That solves the problem. I wasn''t sure what you meant about getting and
installing iconv.dll as it is already there in ruby\lib.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Mike

[Instantrails-users] iconv.dll error

Hi Curt,

I had no idea where it was ''supposed'' to be, so when I got the
error I just figured out how to accomodate it. I put the instruction to add
''ruby\lib'' to the PATH in the tutorial.  If you''ll
let me know when/if you change the distribution, I''ll update the
tutorial.

Best regards,
Bill

[Instantrails-users] iconv.dll error

When I got the error way back, I just copied the dll into the bin dir
where ruby.exe was, and then all was well after that..

[Instantrails-users] SCGI and Apache2 for Windows without VirtualHosts?

I just saw this post in the rails wiki:

http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/Fast+CGI+and+Apache2+for+Windows+wit
hout+VirtualHosts

Does anyone know how to make a similar configuration work with an Instant
Rails, SCGI setup?

Thanks,

[Instantrails-users] SCGI and Apache2 for Windows withoutVirtualHosts?

Thanks for pointing me to that. 
 
Unfortunately, that page   (
<http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Running_Rails_Apps_In_Subdir
ectories>
http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Running_Rails_Apps_In_Subdire
ctories ) seems to assume a lot of working knowledge of what''s going on
with
both Apache and SCGI.  I have very little experience with either so I
can''t
quite figure out how to follow the instructions.
 
If anyone can help clarify things, that would be great.
 
In the httpd.conf file, I''m supposed to add this:
SCGIMount /rails/app 127.0.0.1:9999

<Directory /var/www/rails/>

       AllowOverride All

</Directory>
Where does this code go?  Inside a <VirtualHost> section or somewhere
else?
What do I need to remove from a ''default'' InstantRails
httpd.conf?
What am I supposed to point those path''s to?  Is "/rails/app"
supposed to be
the new url of my app?
Does "/var/www/rails/" point to my app ''/public/''
folder or something else?
 
Also, once I am able to figure out how to make this happen (host my
different rails apps as subfolders instead of as virtual hosts) what steps
do I take to to add another app?
 
If I can get this figure out and working, I''d be happy to update the
wiki so
that it uses the actual InstantRails configuration files as examples
(instead of generalized, pretend examples)
 
Thanks again,
Eric
