Rails - May 2006 - LightHTTPD FastCgi Error in Production Mode

I''ve been banging my head against the following for about 8 hours now, 
and have exhausted my web research options:

/usr/home/matthew.feadler/rails/avclfc/public/dispatch.fcgi:21:in 
`require'': no such file to load -- 
/usr/home/matthew.feadler/rails/avclfc/public/../config/environment 
(LoadError)
        from 
/usr/home/matthew.feadler/rails/avclfc/public/dispatch.fcgi:21
2006-05-11 04:21:12: (mod_fastcgi.c.1048) the fastcgi-backend 
/usr/home/matthew.feadler/rails/avclfc/public/dispatch.fcgi failed to 
start:
2006-05-11 04:21:12: (mod_fastcgi.c.1052) child exited with status 1

2006-05-11 04:21:12: (server.c.834) Configuration of plugins failed. 
Going down.
no such file to load -- 
/usr/home/matthew.feadler/rails/avclfc/public/../config/environment 
(LoadError)

My app works beautifully via WebRICK, both in Development and Production 
modes.

My Lighty fcgi config is as follows:

fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" =>
  ( "AVCNotes" =>
    (
     "min-procs" => 1,
     "max-procs" => 5,
     "socket" => "/tmp/rails.socket",
    "bin-path" => 
"/usr/home/matthew.feadler/rails/avclfc/public/dispatch.fcgi",
     "bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" =>
"production" )
    )
  )
)

I''ve tried this both with and without the
  ENV[''RAILS_ENV''] ||= ''production''
line in environment.rb.

It may be pertinent that I''m using Lighty now because I was originally 
having fcgi issues with Apache, and suspected Apache was the culprit. 
Given subsequent events, I was likely wrong; but apart from this issue 
I''ve grown to like Lighty, and so will be sticking with it.

Thanks in advance,

Hi ~

The problem might be in another part of the config.  What are you
globally setting the document root to?

Just a thought...

Full Example:

$HTTP["host"] =~ "my.com" {
  server.document-root = "/MY/PATH/public/"
  server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi"
  server.indexfiles = ( "dispatch.fcgi" )
  url.rewrite              = ( "^/$" => "index.html",
"^([^.]+)$" => "$1.html" )
  accesslog.filename = "/MY/PATH/log/access.log"
  fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" =>
    ( "localhost" =>
        (
          "min-procs" => 1,
          "max-procs" => 1,
          "socket"    => "/MY/SOCKET/PATH/fcgi.socket",
          "bin-path"  =>
"/MY/BIN/PATH/public/dispatch.fcgi",
          "bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" =>
"production" )
        )
    )
  )
}

As it turns out, the problem was an issue of permissions on the config 
folder.  The directory was not readable by my webserver user.

As usual, the hardest problems to solve end up being the easiest to fix. 
:P

Thanks much,
