Rails - Apr 2006 - one more try - ENV and FastCGI

Hi,

I''m desperate, so I thought I''d try one more time in the hopes
of getting a
different audience.  Basically. it boils down to this.  Using CGI, the ENV
hash is populated and is accessible from a model script.  Using FastCGI, the
ENV hash is empty.  Can anyone explain how I can fix this?

Thanks,

Stan Mcfarland

Perhaps there''s no ENV when FastCGI is started?

I haven''t done any ENV based configuration in Rails, though I used to  
be a
big fan in mod_perl days. If you''re using Apache, then you  
specifically need
to declare which environment vars to pass via the PassEnv  
configuration option.

Well,

FastCGI has a parameter called -initial-env which is suypposed to allow you
set the environmental variables of interest, but I can''t seem to make
it
work.  I might need to revisit, though.  Thanks for the reminder.

Here''s an entry from a running apache config file setting up my fastcgi
(if it helps?)

FastCgiServer "C:/WebApps/_premier/public/dispatch.fcgi" -idle-timeout
120 -processes 2 \
-initial-env 
PATH="C:/PROGR~1/ruby/bin;C:/PROGR~1/MYSQL/MySQLS~1.0/bin;c:/windows/system32;c:/windows;"
\
-initial-env RUBYOPT=rubygems \
-initial-env RAILS_ENV=development

And the ENV hash contains the variables you''ve set with initial-env?  I
can
get at these variables through 
the request.env object, but I need to access them in a model script, and the
request object isn''t available 
to the model.

Thanks,
