Last week I asked for help on configuring Windows XP/Rails and Apache
HTTPD server, and got little help. Below are all the steps I took too
finally get all things working as they should:
OS:
Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 1
MySQL:
Not really relevant, but here it is anyway: MySQL Server 4.1, MySQL
Query Browser 1.1, and MySQL Administrator 1.0
FastCGI
Downloaded and installed mod_fastcgi.dll Win32 version 2.4.0 from
www.fastcgi.com, then copied it to C:\Program Files\Apache
Group\Apache2\modules.
Apache setup:
Installed apache_2.0.53-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi.
Made a copy of httpd.conf (got tired of reinstalling it) and renamed
httpd.default.conf to something other than *.conf.
Modified/added the following to httpd.conf::
-- uncommented LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
-- Added LoadModule fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.dll <== note
".dll" not ".so"
-- Added:
<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
FastCgiConfig -maxClassProcesses 3 -startDelay 30 <== Thanks
Eduardo Manso, Paul Nicholls and Ramin for an excellent thread
</IfModule>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName [server name]
DocumentRoot [drive:\path\to\app]\public
ErrorLog [drive:\path\to\app]\log\server.log

This came from the excellent but outdated example video on Ruby on Rails
web site. Biggest thing that whacked me here was the direction of the
slashes - I work with Unix at work and had flipped my slashes
backwards. Big DUH factor here but Windows [''\''], Unix/Linux
[''/'']
Added to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\host file: 127.0.0.1 [name of
server]
Rails version 0.10.1 (I think, couldn''t find how to get the version and
too tired to search)
.htaccess:: modifed "RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /dispatch.cgi?$1 [QSA,L]" to
"RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /dispatch.fcgi?$1 [QSA,L]"
dispatch.fcgi:: modified first list line from "#!c:/ruby/bin/ruby.exe"
to "#!c:/ruby/bin/rubyw.exe"
That''s it. I used the tutorial "Four Days on Rails"
(excellent tutorial
but needs to be updated) and created the app Todo. Page load times went
from more than 15 seconds, to just milliseconds.
Many of the references in the examples and tutorials on the Ruby on
Rails website are also out of date, and threw me off, and there is
nothing on the site that collects the above information in one place,
for each OS Rails and Apache are installed on. Is this not an
acceptable thing to do?
I''m still not able to get the ToDo app to load (by going to http://todo
vs. http://todo/items/list) when I make the recommended changes at the
end of the tutorial "Four Days on Rails" and would appreciate some
help
on that.
I hope this helps someone else who''s having problems getting FastCGI to
work with Apache and Rails on Windows XP.

What about webrick? See if that works. I honestly don''t know why you guys make your life so much harder then it has to be. Installing apache, especially on windows is *hard* and only comes with disadvantages to using ruby''s build in webserver.

Actually, installing XAMPP-Lite is extremely easy. I had it loaded for svn anyway, gave it a shot, and it worked with no hassles. I was able to get Hieraki working with MS-SQL right away. Webrick has caused problems for me. I''ve noticed some kind of memory leak where Ruby eats up 200MB of memory and Webrick slows to a crawl.

THe reason I, and most other people, do install Apache is because we are trying to have the same development environment as our production env. No point in developing in Webrick or any other web server if your host or your production server will be using Apache. Apache isn''t really hard to setup on Windows, its the fastcgi module that causes some problems.

Seriously though, Apache is *just* a web server. Rails is a ruby application, not an Apache application. Using built-in webricks is a lot simpler than setting up Apache just to see if your ruby (rails) application works. Well, unless of course, your rails application depends on Apache for one reason or another. That is in doubt though since you are using Apache as just a CGI launcher. - Adam
I have a real problem for using Webrick for anything other than testing purpose. When using it with rails, a DB connection leak occurs. By looking at the code I have seen that this happens because rails creates one connection for each Thread. Webrick seems to create a new thread for each request (except when keep alive is issued by the client). Has anybody overcome this problem ? Of course, this problem disappears when using CGI/FastCGI. -----Original Message----- From: rails-bounces-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org [mailto:rails-bounces-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org] On Behalf Of Rick Olson Sent: Monday, April 11, 2005 4:10 PM To: Tobias Luetke; rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org Subject: Re: [Rails] Windows XP/Rails/Apache Config setup Actually, installing XAMPP-Lite is extremely easy.

Write back if you want to start a RoR group in NYC. I know you''re out there... Of course, there might be one already I don''t know about. I do know about the NYC Ruby group, but that''s not really for Rails. I would like to start a group that deals directly with Web dev. Matt

Well, perhaps I should explain better. The rails code (in abstract_adapter.rb) creates one database connection for each thread but never closes them explicitely. As Webrick renews its running threads, more and more database connections are created. As a result, at least with the OCI adapter, database connections stay pending (I can see them by using the db tools). They are not closed as a result of thread termination. They are only closed when I stop the process. It works with CGI because the ruby process dies after each request. On FastCGI, there is only one thread by ruby process, so there is exaclty one connection by process. -----Original Message----- From: rails-bounces-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org [mailto:rails-bounces-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org] On Behalf Of Adam M.

You might still want to make an announcement on ruby-talk and at the NYC Ruby group. They''ve done a lot of web based stuff (including narf), and would probably be interested in doing RoR stuff as well. -pate On Apr 11, 2005 9:43 PM, Matt Pelletier <pelletierm-A1PILTyJ15gXhy9q4Lf3Ug@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Write back if you want to start a RoR group in NYC.

Hi Pat (and Paul, from earlier reply), Actually I did go to last month''s Ruby Group (If you guys are watching I was the newbie). It was quite helpful, and I even came out with a free ''Learn Ruby in 21 days'' (thanks Francis), but my impression was that it was more oriented toward the language itself than to Rails, esp. as it''s been around longer than Rails has existed. We talked about Rails a bit, but I don''t want to inadvertantly steer those meetings into discussions just about Rails. So I will continue to attend them, but if there is enough interest in NYC I''d like to start one that focuses on Rails itself. There are plenty of developers here and I''d wager the interest is only going to grow. Matt pat eyler wrote:> You might still want to make an announcement on ruby-talk and at the > NYC Ruby group.

I think having a RoR group is a great idea, but I''d rather see it run in cooperation with an NYC.rb (or whatever). I think the new Rails folks can learn a lot from experienced Rubyists, and the ''old timers'' can certainly get a boost from the new folks that RoR will bring in. just my $0.02> > Matt >-- thanks, -pate ------------------------- We are often unable to tell people what they need to know, because they want to know something else, and would therefore only misunderstand what we said - the Raven (George MacDonald, Lilith)
I''m having trouble setting up rails - it appears that the values from my database.yml file are not being loaded. The file contains no tabs or carriage returns and was hand crafted in vim. The error I''m getting is this: Access denied for user: ''root@localhost'' (Using password: NO) The especially odd thing about that error is that I''m NOT using ''root'' in database.yml, and I AM using a password. database.yml follows, w/ passwords asteriked out: development: adapter: mysql database: feeds_tags_friends host: localhost username: jnewland password: ******* test: adapter: mysql database: feeds_tags_friends_test host: localhost username: jnewland password: ******* production: adapter: mysql database: feeds_tags_friends_prod host: localhost username: jnewland password: ******* I''m running rails 0.11.1, ruby 1.8.2, and mysql 4.0.22 on gentoo linux (kernel version 2.6.5). Anyone have any suggestions? Regards- Jesse Newland
Pat, I fully agree about learning from the ''elders'', and that cooperation and cross-talk should be encouraged from the start. I don''t think fragmenting interests is too much of a concern at this point, though, as anyone coding for RoR is likely to be pretty interested in Ruby as a language anyway. I certainly am. In fact I plan to encourage anyone coming to the RoR to go to the NYC.rb as well. Depending on the size of the interest (I have 4 ppl so far), maybe we''ll ask the NYC.rb leader (Francis I know you''re on ruby-talk) to set aside some time for each meeting just to focus on RoR. My rationale for wanting to start a Rails-specific group is that the ruby-nyc group is for the language, and those members have interests that don''t necessarily deal directly with the web. While they would probably be interested to hear new members talk about Rails (and they were when I did so), I wouldn''t want to alienate them by hogging the discussion about the Web. Since this is going to the Ruby-talk list... any Ruby folks there interested in a NYC meetup?

I think the database.yml file is loaded at startup when using WEBrick and fcgi.
I''ve created a new Yahoo Group for RoR in NYC called rubyonrails-nyc http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rubyonrails-nyc/ I encourage anyone with an interest in Ruby AND/OR RoR to join. I''ll work out the details of setting up a meetup soon.

You should sign up for both NYC groups. First, Ruby-NYC, which covers any ruby-related discussions. This has been around awhile. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ruby-nyc/ Then, RubyOnRails-NYC, which I just started today. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rubyonrails-nyc/ Matt Ramin wrote:> I live in NY (Long Island) and I''m interested in Ruby/RoR meetup.
