Hi everyone, I''m having a problem getting instant rails working well on apache. I created an alias that points to the apps'' public directory and it works, but when I access my application it take a long long time. Over 3 minutes sometimes. But it does always work, just painfully slow. I think it has to do with scgi but I''m unsure how to speed it up. In WEBricks it works really well and quickly. Can anyone help me out? (I can post my config files if needed.) Thanks, Bram -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

To make it work, you need to edit the .htaccess file to include the new path, and maybe some other hacks. Something about a routing prefix....

Hi,
Thanks for the links, but they don''t solve the problem. I would run it
as a
virtual host, but I''m working off other people''s computers and
I don''t want
to have to edit the hosts file.
I''ve already got it working, it''s just really really slow.
I''m pretty sure
it''s an SCGI thing. Here''s my setup:
apache - httpd.conf
Alias /scotch/ "${path}/rails_apps/scotch/public/"
SCGIMount /dispatch.fcgi 127.0.0.1:9997
<Directory "${path}/rails_apps/scotch/public">
Options ExecCGI
Options +FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
And the .htaccess file in the public directory of my application, I''ve
kept
as as default but added this:
RewriteBase /scotch
Like I said, it works, but takes 2 mins to load each page. I think
it''s not
using SCGI, since I don''t even need to have the SCGI server running for
it
to work.
Thanks again,
Bram

I''m a bit busy to look into it more deeply, but if I remember right, there is some difficulty with getting the rewrite to work. - -- David Morton Maia Mailguard - http://www.maiamailguard.com Morton Software Design and Consulting - http://www.dgrmm.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEhx6LUy30ODPkzl0RAiTxAJoCazhSyvt0T16zmXwEWa2BEUAaugCfWdxe LXTNX4uDVyqvWiK0TgPKp5w=ZIR5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Ok, I solved it!
It took a lot of playing around, but I''ve got it working now.
This is how you setup a rails application in apache using aliases and SCGI:
(in this case, my application is called scotch and it usses port 9997)
httpd.conf ->
Alias /scotch/ "${path}/rails_apps/scotch/public/"
SCGIMount /scotch/dispatch.fcgi 127.0.0.1:9997
<Directory "${path}/rails_apps/scotch/public">
Options ExecCGI
Options +FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
Then in the .htaccess file in the application''s public directory ->
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /scotch
RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /scotch/dispatch.fcgi/$1 [QSA,L]
ErrorDocument 500 "<h2>Application error</h2>Rails application
failed to
start properly"
Then, when you''re ready to run your application, start the SCGI server
through the "instantrails->manage applications" control pannel.
And it works great!
I''ll be posting this to the wiki soon.
