Running on Fedora Core
I have been playing with some of the tutorials and one of them had me
install lighttpd and lighttpd-fastcgi and that was much faster than
apache seems to be.
How do I get fastcgi stuff to work on apache...
I have this setup for my tutorial environment in httpd.conf
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /home/craig/cookbook/public
ServerName cookbook
<Directory "/home/craig/cookbook/public">
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
and it''s considerably slower than the lighttpd server.
Thanks
Craig

I am missing a line like this in your apache configuration: FastCgiServer /var/www/myrailsapp/public/dispatch.fcgi -initial-env RAILS_ENV=production -processes 3 -idle-timeout 60

The first time you send a request to your application, the first process is spawned. If my understanding is right, this could end in uncountable FCGI processes if your server is under heavy load. So it is better to control the process spawning with the FastCGIServer directive. But this was not your question: If you set the your RewriteRule to dispatch.fcgi you should run under FCGI. You can check if some processes like /usr/local/bin/ruby /var/www/myrailsapp/public/dispatch.fcgi exist after requesting your application. Maybe LightHttpd is faster, at all ;)
