Hi! I don''t know much about linux and apache configuration, so we''re using cpanel on our server to manage accounts etc. I was trying to install ror (according to this page: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoInstallAndRunRubyOnRailsOnCpanel) on our server, but it didn''t worked. If i enter "server.com/rails" i get "/testapp/index.html was not found", if i enter "server.com/rails/anything/" it says "/testapp/dispatch.fcgi was not found", but if i try "server.com/rails/404.html" or explicitly "server.com/rails/index.html", then it works, so the "public" directory is visible. Here''s my dispatch.fcgi file: require File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../config/enviroment" require ''fcgi_handler'' require ''rubygems'' require_gem ''fcgi'' RailsFCGIHandler.process! And here''s .htaccess file: AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi AddHandler cgi-script .cgi Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /testapp RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA] RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi?$1 [QSA,L] ErrorDocument 500 "<h2>Application error</h2>" in httpd.conf i had already these lines: LoadModule fastcgi_module libexec/mod_fastcgi.so AddModule mod_fastcgi.c and just added these at the end of the file (if i added these right after "LoadModule" line apache didn''t restart): <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> FastCgiIpcDir /tmp/fcgi_ipc/ AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi </IfModule> I''m not really sure if the problem is in those files or httpd.conf or somewhere else. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Anyone? :) If you don''t know what can cause this problem maybe you know some good apache forum where i could ask this question? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
g0nz0, Apache doesn''t like to dynamically start fcgi applications. I''ve got 3 different rails apps running under my apache server with fastcgi. I use the following in the server config: FastCGIExternalServer <FULLPATH-TO-DISPATCH.FCGI> -appConnTimeout 30 -idle-timeout 90 -host 127.0.0.1:9195 And I start the application with this: cgi-fcgi -bind -connect 127.0.0.1:9195 <FULLPATH-TO-DISPATCH.FCGI> 1 Shawn Mathews On 2/15/06, g0nzo <g0nzo@o2.pl> wrote:> Anyone? :) > > If you don''t know what can cause this problem maybe you know some good > apache forum where i could ask this question? > > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > _______________________________________________ > Rails mailing list > Rails@lists.rubyonrails.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails >
Thanks! I''ve changed .htaccess back to "RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.cgi [QSA,L]", so it should use cgi not fcgi. And the results are exactly the same (however it complaines about dispatch.cgi now). So it''s rather not fcgi that causes this problem. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

To be honest, blaming mod_rewrite first is usually my preferred option :-) Have you tried just running script/server in your rails directory and tesing it against port 3000 ?

Just tried running webrick server and it works. So like you said it would be probably .htaccess or httpd.conf. But i''m really linux/apache newbie, so if you could tell me what are the most probable errors or how to check if necessary stuff is correctly installed (i followed the tutorial mentioned in the first post to install and configure everything) i''d be very grateful. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
