Rails - Jan 2006 - Rails app won''t run on Dreamhost - "incomplet headers" error

Can anyone provide some expert debugging help here?  What''s the first
step to take to see what the issue is here?

I have no errors in the rails app''s log files. The only errors I have
are those provided by apache and they are:

''FastCGI: Incomplete headers (0) bytes received from server''

I''ve tried editing the shebang line, removing line feeds, but nothing
seems to work.

Thanks for any ideas.

When this happened to me, I found that I had some leftover puts 
statements that I had used when debugging with webrick locally.

Maybe you also have some puts statements in your code somewhere?

Just a shot in the dark...

Thanks, Jeff, but no puts for me :(.  It''s frusterating - 
I''ve tried so
many things.  It seems pretty common though, this error. dig your blog, 
by the way, been reading it for a little while now.  I share your 
sentiments with regard to m$!

either your dispatch.cgi or dispatch.fcgi (depends on your setup in
.htaccess) is referencing an invalid ruby location.

check the shebang (#!/usr/bin/ruby) declaration of the dispatch file and
verify that it''s referring to the correct ruby location.

hope this works for you,

oops, looks like this has been tried?  ( I should have read the entire
email)

I haven''t run across that error without the shebang line correction
being
the fix.  :(

Rich,

What happens if you just create a new rails app from scratch?  Can you 
at least get the "Congratulations..." page to appear?

I guess maybe some more background might help... has your site ever 
worked before on DreamHost?  Do you get this error only when calling a 
certain action?  Oh, and did you select FastCGI when setting up the 
virtual root in the DreamHost control panel?

Sorry for the seeminly dumb questions... just trying to think of all the 
stuff I had to look at when I had this problem before.

Hi Rich,

Did you have your app running at Dreamhost at one point and it 
failed, or has it not ever been running?

On Dreamhost I had to change the Ruby path in dispatch.fcgi and dispatch.rb to:
    #!/usr/bin/ruby1.8

Don''t forget to:
   chmod -R 775 public
   chmod -R 775 log

And to cycle an update to the app:
   killall -USR1 dispatch.fcgi

And (in the normal case) your app directory has to be given the full 
domain name that you set up, e.g.  myRailsApp.myDomain.com, and it 
must be set to the path myRailsApp.myDomain.com/public

I suspect the shebang line might do the trick though.

FYI-- just found out that Dreamhost already has ImageMagic installed 
so you just need to put the RMagic gem in your vendor/plugins 
directory and you''ve got RMagic available.  Cool!  ...especially when 
used with the filecolumn plugin.

Cheers,
russ

thats what i was hoping for.  I''ve tried:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
#!/usr/bin/ruby
#!/usr/bin/ruby1.8

none seem to work :(

hi russ,  I''ve tries all your ideas, still no go. Oddly, to answer your
first question, it did work at one point.  A few requests ran 
successfully and then I needed to update a few things and reload the 
app.  THis is where I get fuzzy.. I can''t remember doing anything other
than tring to hard code the RAILS[ENV] into environment.rb THis was 
before understanding how to best reload an app on a shared host.  But 
that files been replace by the origianl so I can''t imagine that having 
any effect.

When i try to run ruby dispatch.fcgi, I get a 500 error at the command 
line.

 Do you get this error only when calling a

it seems to be all requests. can''t pull up anything.

I experimented similar errors. If you work on Windows perhaps executing

dos2unix dispatch.*

fixes the problem, cleaning the characters that Windows uses for 
carriage returns . It worked for me.

I''ve finally got it running. I cahnged two things. the first was to
uncomment the line:

ENV[''RAILS_ENV''] ||= ''production''

in environment.rb

and the second was changing (per Dreamhost''s wiki) the default code in
dispatch.fcgi to:


class MyRailsFCGIHandler < RailsFCGIHandler
SIGNALS = {
''TERM'' => :exit_now,
}

def exit_now_handler(signal)
dispatcher_log :info, "ignoring request to terminate immediately"
end
end

MyRailsFCGIHandler.process! nil, 50

I''m not sure which is responsible for fixing the problem, but
it''s one
of the two...

I suspect that was the problem all along.  Perhaps with this line 
commented out, it was looking at the development environment instead?

If you''re feeling adventurous, could you undo the other change you made
to dispatch.fcgi and report back?  (If you''d rather not it would be 
understandable).

Hi, I have a similar problem.

Where is environment.rb? I checked in config/environment.rb and there 
was no such line that was commented out. The only thing that looks 
similar is:

RAILS_ENV  = ENV[''RAILS_ENV''] ||
''development''

It says to "put it in your webserver''s configuration as the
RAILS_ENV
environment variable instead" but I''m not sure what it means.
I''ve
changed dispatch.fgci already and I''m still getting a "application
failed to start properly" error and my Apache logs are similar.

Well, this brings up another problem. Maybe I don''t have it turned on
or
something, but I can''t log in via SSH. Putty just automatically closes 
afer I login.
That is a problem, another problem is that I don''t have my DB set up 
with the proper tables yet, but if that happens, shouldn''t I get a 
DB-specific rails error, instead of an "application failed?"
I have also heard that syntax errors could cause Rails to not start. 
Anyway to check these errors? They work fine locally.

This might be obvious, but by default Dreamhost users only get ftp
access - not ssh.  You need to specifically enable each user to access
via ssh in the Control Panel.  If this isn''t enabled, you''ll
get the
behaviour you''re describing from Putty.

I use Putty myself on Dreamhost and it''s very reliable.

perhaps, but if you can''t successfully request dispatch.fcgi, then the
app will never load in the first place to make an entry to the log.

ruby dispatch.fcgi from the command line :)

Check the shebang line in the dispatch.fcgi file. If you are using the default
that ships then it is
setup for something crazy like /usr/local/bin/ruby ... which I think is a OSX
default. Crazy mac people.

Zach

Oh, and don''t forget to check that your public/.htaccess file refers
dispatch.fcgi and NOT dispatch.cgi.

Ah, thanks guys. I''ve checked the .htaccess and the shebang line but 
they all match. I''ve followed almost all of the standard
troubleshooting
procedures that I can, such as 775''ing, the shebang line, .htaccess, 
production, and others. I have written to Dreamhost support about the 
SSH access, does anyone know how to activate it or another way to run 
dispatch.fcgi?

just try running dispatch.fcgi manually
it will show u if it has any problems

Okay, after running dispatch.fcgi, it says I have an error on line 21, 
which reads:

require File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../config/environment"

Could part of the problem be that I didn''t create this via "rails 
appname"? What do you think I should do?

Thanks for all the help!

Well, if you run dispatch.fcgi from the command line, all you get is:

"Status: 500 Internal Server Error"

And in the error log you get:

Sun Feb  5 02:47:45 2006] [error] [client 12.222.74.240] FastCGI: comm 
with (dynamic) server "/path-to-app/public/dispatch.fcgi" aborted: 
(first read) idle timeout (120 sec)
[Sun Feb  5 02:47:45 2006] [error] [client 12.222.74.240] FastCGI: 
incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server 
"/path-to-app/public/dispatch.fcgi"

This is an infrastructure issue meaning that either Dreamhost can''t 
figure out how to get ruby running or Ruby just isn''t ready for use as 
anything clost to a production application. Webbrick/development works 
great -- ruby+apache/fastcgi just plain sucks!

Dreamhost is working just fine using Apache for me.

Did you do:
panel.dreamhost.com
domains/manage domains/.edit
Web Directory

And point Apache at your Rails app? You need to point into the public directory.

Do not use running dispatch.fcgi from the command line as a test for  
anything. If your app is configured properly, you will always get a  
500 error from dispatch.fcgi on the command line. It expects to be  
spoken to using the fcgi protocol and when you run it from the cli it  
doesn''t get that so it gives the 500 error. Dispatch.cgi on the other  
hand can be run from the cli.  Just and FYI

although it will potentially shed light on an improperly configured
app, such as typos, unknown method errrors and the like. I had a typo
in my production environment and the command line is how I was able to
catch it.

Hey guys.

I have the exact same problem trying to get Beast running on Dreamhost. 
I have followed all the help in the wiki and i have other rails apps 
working there, so i suspect its something else with the Beast files.

From error.log:

[Wed Feb 28 06:46:02 2007] [error] [client 213.112.85.87] FastCGI: comm 
with (dynamic) server "/home/cb 
ermar/cepta.deepdarkhole.net/http/dispatch.fcgi" aborted: (first read) 
idle timeout (60 sec)
[Wed Feb 28 06:46:02 2007] [error] [client 213.112.85.87] FastCGI: 
incomplete headers (0 bytes) receive       d from server 
"/home/cbermar/cepta.deepdarkhole.net/http/dispatch.fcgi"

When running dispatch.fcgi and dispatch.cgi from command line i get 
this:

[silk]$ ruby dispatch.fcgi
./../config/boot.rb:38:Warning: require_gem is obsolete.  Use gem 
instead.

"No such file or directory - ../config/../config/database.yml"

Looks like your database.yml is missing from config. Is it possible
you''ve
got something like database.yml.sample and forgotten to copy it as
database.yml?

Hey,

Dont know why that happend to be honest, i started from scratch getting 
source, setting up the paths etc from the wiki and now i get this when 
running dispatch.fcgi.

[silk]$ ruby dispatch.fcgi
./../config/boot.rb:38:Warning: require_gem is obsolete.  Use gem

        from dispatch.fcgi:21:in `require''
        from dispatch.fcgi:21

Seems to be complaining about ActiveRecord::VERSION not being set. Is 
there any other logs that can be examined to find the cause of the 
problem? I still only get a HTTP 500 when i try to run the app.

Thanks,

Christer

I might add that rake db:migrate works fine, so database.yml is not the 
problem. Also, i created an empty rails app and that worked fine. Must 
be something with one of the files or a dependency... grr..

Did you by chance edit your app on a Windows machine? You might want to run
dos2unix on the files if so. I know that''s been a problem for more than
a
few people on Dreamhost. Including myself before I switched to developing in
Linux.

No, i grabbed source (Beast) from their subversion repository, and used 
vi to edit the files on the dreamhost servers. Thanks for the tip tho.

No more ideas? Starting to doubt i will get this running if there are no 
logs to tell me what fails. A bit hard to debug then. I guess the output 
from dispatch.fcgi above suggests that there is a problem with 
ActiveRecord (ActiveRecord::VERSION) but i dont know how that could be 
since its a core module of rails.

Could it be some environment setting missing or such? Would really 
appreciate any help here.

Rich Brant, if you read this, would you mind mailing me personally? If 
you could send me a zip with your app''s files i would be most greatful.
Might be something in there. I check all in panel and the wiki tutorial 
so im really clueless what it could be.

Cheers.

Oh, incase i dont get it running, are there any other nice Rails forum 
alternatives for Beast? Would really like to get one up, not necessarily 
Beast.

Thanks.

Hi, looks pretty nice but i would prefer to get Beast running. Has a 
richer styling and seems to have most needed features.

I started all over again, following these steps:

1. in dreamhost control panel, create a sub-domain called y.x.com.
2. make sure FastCGI is enabled.
3. point the web root to y.x.com/trunk/public.
4. svn checkout http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/beast/trunk.
5. rake freeze_edge.
6. gem install RedCloth (already installed).
7. copy config/database.example.yml to database.yml and set it 
correctly.
8. rake db:schema:load RAILS_ENV=production (complains about 
ActiveRecord::VERSION, without RAILS_ENV param works fine).
9. change SALT in config/environment.rb.
10. update .htaccess so RewriteRule points to dispatch.fcgi.
11. add the RailsFCGIHandler class in dispatch.fcgi as dreamhost wiki 
explains.
12. update shebang line in public/dispatch.cgi, public/dispatch.fcgi and 
public/dispatch.rb.
13. set ENV[''RAILS_ENV''] to ||= ''production''
in config/environment.rb.
14. check permissions, specially public and log dirs (u+rwX,go-w).
15. check if all worked - alas, std 500 error response:

Application error
Rails application failed to start properly

Log files contains this:

logs/production:
--
# Logfile created on Fri Mar 02 09:53:33 -0800 2007 by logger.rb/1.5.2.9

logs/y.x.com/http/error.log:

Question: Where can i find more logs that might contain explain what the 
problem is? Any ideas how to fix it? Im getting really bummed here, 
please help out.

Cheers.
