Rails - May 2005 - apache 2 fcgi - can't seem to access actions

Hi all,

I''m really stuck. I am trying to set up rails on rhel3 on apache with 
mod-fcgi. This rails app will be sharing apache with several other apps 
written in php. 

I am trying to access my admin controller but whenever I try to I get a 403 
forbidden error. It is like apache doesn''t even call dispatch.fcgi.
However
is I call the web root http:/osdir.oldschool.com.sg/ instead of 
http://osdir.oldschool.com.sg/admin/login then i get a rails application 
failed to start properly.

Currently my Virtual host config is

<VirtualHost 202.172.239.245:80 <http://202.172.239.245:80>>
<Directory /home/webadmin/osdir/public>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
ServerName osdir.oldschool.com.sg <http://osdir.oldschool.com.sg>
DocumentRoot /home/webadmin/osdir/public
SuexecUserGroup webadmin webadmin
ServerAlias "www.osdir.oldschool.com.sg
<http://www.osdir.oldschool.com.sg>"
CustomLog "/home/webadmin/osdir.oldschool.com.sg/access_log"
"combined"
ErrorLog "/home/webadmin/osdir.oldschool.com.sg/error_log"
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
Options Indexes ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
</VirtualHost>

My .htaccess and dispatch.fcgi files are what is indicated in the howto. I 
also cannot use cgi. 

I can however, get webrick up and running but it gives a whole other problem 
with ActiveRecord.

I''m just thinking of solving this first.

Thanks in advance.

Steven

Couple of things. First off, let me start out by saying that I am very new to
Ruby, Rails, Apache, and Linux in general. I spent the past 2-3 weeks just
trying to get Ruby running using FastCGI.

At one point I remember having a similar issue. One recommendation is to make
sure permissions are setup properly. For my use, because it''s an
internal dev box I opted to give rw to my entire Rails app.

A couple links that were instrumental in my setup are:

http://www.infused.org/2005/03/19/ruby-on-rails-apache-fastcgi-and-ensim/
http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/RailsOnFedora

The first link had this to say about permissions:

We need to change the owner of the myapp files to be the same as the others in
this site: chown -R admin99.admin99 myapp

You might also find something of use here:

Hope that helps.
