Instantrails users - Oct 2005 - www.mycookbook.com not working - just shows apache page

Curt,

This is really, really cool....

On hiccup for me though. All was well until I went to manage the cookbook
application. The Start SCGI command gave the following output:


D:\INSTAN~1\rails_apps\cookbook>..\..\ruby\bin\ruby.exe script\scgi_rails
start -p 9999 -e production -D
ERROR: Could not setup a SIGHUP handler. You won''t be able to get
status.
Listening for connections on 127.0.0.1:9999 <http://127.0.0.1:9999>

Surfing to www.mycookbook.com <http://www.mycookbook.com> in my browser
yielded an Apache Test page indicating that it is running correctly. No
cookbook...

Any ideas?

WinXP

Thanks.

Did you edit your HOSTS file and add the line:

127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1> www.mycookbook.com
<http://www.mycookbook.com>

Is you browse configured to use a proxy server? If so, make sue you''ve
got
the checkbox checked to now use the proxy for local addresses (this is an IE
setting). Or better yet, as an experiment set you internet connection
temporarily to "direct connection" and then see if it works.

Yes. Edited the file IRails opened for me.

Direct connection already using FireFox.

Hmm... this is strange.

The reason for using virtual hosts in the apache config file is so that you
can ave multiple rails apps running at the same time. Let''s try making
the
cookbook app be the one and only (i.e., the default) virtual host.

Edit your apache config file (menu: Configure >> Apache). At the very end
of
the file you''ll see two virtual host definitions. One for localhost and
one
for cookbook. Delete the one for localhost and save the file.

Restart apache and try browing to:

http://localhost/

or

http://127.0.0.1/

Does that work?

Curt

PS
What version of Windows are you using? I should have mentioned that this
only works with Windows 2000 or newer.

Ken, do you have Administrator priviledges on your machine? Not having them
would prevent you from being able to save the HOSTS file and would explain
you problem.

Curt,

I am on WinXP Pro with Administrator privileges...

Will try the Apache config this evening when I get home.

Thanks.

This did not solve the problem. I did find the issue while making and
testing this change. I had another Apache running. Apache 2... It must have
caused some conflict when I tried to hit the
www.mycookbook.com<http://www.mycookbook.com>url.

All is well.

Thanks.
