Hi all,
I''m new to rails (and ruby) so be kind :-)
I have a small server running W2K on which apache (2.0.x) is running with
the latest version of ruby and rails (I followed the howto on
rubyonrails.org <http://rubyonrails.org>). However, I want to do the
following:
I have a domain (www.domain.org <http://www.domain.org>) configured on the
server as follows:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster-rwNdu3Xx/YEdnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org
DocumentRoot D:/data/www/domain.org
ServerName www.domain.org <http://www.domain.org>
ErrorLog logs/www.domain.org-error_log
CustomLog logs/www.domain.org-access_log common
Alias /h2o d:/data/www/rails.domain.org/h2o/public/
<Directory "d:/data/www/rails.domain.org/h2o/public/">
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Allow from all
Order allow,deny
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
What I want to do is to serve the h2o application from a different
documentroot than the normal website (which is plain html). No, I don''t
know
if this makes sense or not but bear with me if it remotely does :-)
The dispatch.fcgi in the public folder has as first line
#!D:/data/apps/ruby/bin/rubyw
As mentioned in the HOWTO
The .htaccess file looks lik this:
# General Apache options
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
# If you don''t want Rails to look in certain directories,
# use the following rewrite rules so that Apache won''t rewrite certain
requests
#
# Example:
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/notrails.*
# RewriteRule .* - [L]
# Redirect all requests not available on the filesystem to Rails
# By default the cgi dispatcher is used which is very slow
#
# For better performance replace the dispatcher with the fastcgi one
#
# Example:
# RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
RewriteEngine On
# If your Rails application is accessed via an Alias directive,
# then you MUST also set the RewriteBase in this htaccess file.
#
# Example:
# Alias /myrailsapp /path/to/myrailsapp/public
# RewriteBase /myrailsapp
#Alias /h2o d:/data/www/rails.apro.be/h2o/public/
RewriteBase /h2o
RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
# In case Rails experiences terminal errors
# Instead of displaying this message you can supply a file here which will
be rendered instead
#
# Example:
# ErrorDocument 500 /500.html
ErrorDocument 500 "<h2>Application error</h2>Rails application
failed to
start properly"
Now, the problem is that the application does not work. The URL to start is
htt://www.domain.org/h2o/account/login. However, this page gives me a
timeout in the logs.
Can someone help me with this?
Many thanks!
BB
Peter

Someone correct me if I''m wrong, but as far as I know Apache 2.0.x is not very stable with fastcgi. People usually find Apache 1.3.x works better. My personal preference is to use "ruby script/server" for development, and lighttpd on the production server (I have a Virtual Private Server). Apache only gave me headaches. That doesn''t exactly help you out with your issue, just a tip :) cheers, Rob
I haven''t had any problems with Apache2 and fastcgi at all, both on my iBook (development environment) and on the host where it runs (AMD64 box running Apache2 under Gentoo Linux). I''ve been having far more difficulty getting lighttpd to work properly on my iBook with a slightly non-standard (read: no examples on the net) configuration.

I use a frontend apache because I want to deliver compressed page through mod_gzip, and as far as I''ve seen it, lighttpd doesn''t support that (someone confirm?).
Can someone tell me a host where I can deploy a Rails app? What is the easiest way to do this? Am I stuck with a colocated server or are there hosted platforms that make it easier to deploy and scale? Anyone? Thanks in advance! John B PS - I know this has multiple answers - just looking for opinions..

(been known to even assist with making a few code changes to help optimize client applications). http://www.planetargon.com/hosting.html (rates/plans) Also, we''ve recently begun offering private IP addresses for +$3/mo so that you can run Lighttpd on your own port WITHOUT mod_proxy through our Apache servers. It makes Rails apps just a tad bit faster. :-D I''ve heard good things about Site5 (www.site5.com) as well... but they don''t offer PostgreSQL. ;-) Good luck on your quest for good hosting. I know it can be tough.
