Rails - Jul 2005 - Rails+Apache 2+FastCGI on Fedora Core 3 Linux: Has anyone got it working well?

Hi All,

I have a Rails application that needs to be served from a
Fedora Core 3 Linux server.  The application runs well as a
"plain" CGI application.

My next step was to speed things up with FastCGI installed
via "gem install fcgi".  (version 0.8.6.1).

That approach lead to this error in the fastcgi.crash.log:

     Dispatcher failed to catch: undefined method `is_cgi?'' for
FCGI:Class
      (NoMethodError)

The next thing I tried was removing the fcgi gem and manually
installing fcgi 0.8.6 from a .tar.gz download.  That fixed the
error, but now I''m seeing in the server log:

[Wed Jul 27 11:08:51 2005] [error] [client 150.203.5.176] FastCGI: 
incomplete headers (0 bytes) receive
d from server "/projects/epinet/website/current/public/dispatch.fcgi"
[Thu Jul 28 10:54:23 2005] [error] [client 150.203.5.176] FastCGI: server 
"/projects/epinet/website/current/public/dispatch.fcgi" stderr:
(erb):32:
warning: already initialized constant Dimg, referer: http:
//example.org/...

Can someone tell me if this is expected FastCGI/fcgi behaviour I''m
seeing, or if I''ve gotten the installation messed up somehow?

Has anyone gotten Rails+Apache 2+FastCGI+fcgi working well on
FC3?  Can you share your experiences in setting everything up?

Cheers,

Stu

Is the box running SELinux?

Do you have access to /var/log/messages?

If so, can you grep for "avc" and see if you have any relevant
messages?

If SELinux is enabled, you''re most likely hitting a problem with the  
HTTPD policy.

I''m still trying to write a solid patch to allow FastCGI access on  
one of my boxes, as I''m not willing to turn off something as great as  
SELinux for a Web framework. :)
