Rails - Mar 2006 - Problems with lighty

I''ve been trying to get lighty configured to work with Rails and
I''m
having quite a time of it.

I have all of the following installed on a FC4 system:

ruby-1.8.4
gems-0.8.11
rails-1.0
fcgi-2.4.0
ruby-fcgi-0.8.6
lighttpd-1.4.10

Before I tried setting up multiple apps, I just decided to try for a 
single app setup.  I have the following configuration:

### begin config ###
server.modules              = ( "mod_rewrite",
"mod_fastcgi",
"mod_access", "mod_accesslog" )
server.indexfiles           = ( "dispatch.fcgi",
"index.html" )
accesslog.filename          = 
"/home/user/fwo/config/lighttpd_access.log"
server.document-root        = "/home/user/fwo/public/"
server.error-handler-404    = "/home/user/fwo/public/dispatch.fcgi"
server.errorlog             = "/home/user/fwo/log/error.log"

url.rewrite = ( "^/$" => "index.html",
"^([^.]+)$" => "$1.html" )

fastcgi.server =  (
   ".fcgi" => (
     "localhost" => (
       "min-procs" => 2,
       "max-procs" => 2,
       "socket" => "/tmp/rails.socket",
       "bin-path" =>
"/home/user/fwo/public/dispatch.fcgi",
       "idle-timeout" => 120
     )
   )
)
### end config ###

The app works perfectly under WEBrick.  But with this setup (and I have 
tried several others with the same end result) in lighty, I always get 
404 errors.

The only time I don''t get a 404 error is if I include this line in 
routes.rb:

map.connect ''/dispatch.fcgi'', :controller =>
''users'', :action =>
''login_page''

Then it will properly display the page.  It will also properly display 
any file I have in the public directory.  But any time I try the 
controller/action URLs, I get a 404.  It''s not the 404.html file in 
public either, it''s actually a 404 from dispatch.fcgi, or at least it 
appears to be.

In error.log, I find:

2006-03-29 04:03:40: (connections.c.1392) Warning: Either the 
error-handler retu
rned status 404 or the error-handler itself was not found: 
/home/user/fwo/pub
lic/dispatch.fcgi
2006-03-29 04:03:40: (connections.c.1394) returning the original status 
404
2006-03-29 04:03:40: (connections.c.1396) If this is a rails app: check 
your pro
duction.log

But it can apparently find dispatch.cgi if I reference it directly. 
production.log (or in this case, development.log) shows nothing 
interesting.

Nevermind, I found the problem.

It appears it was appending the document root path I had specified to 
the bin-path variable in the fastcgi server declaration, so it was 
looking for:

/home/user/fwo/public/home/user/fwo/public/dispatch.fcgi

I have everything working now.
