I''ve done tons of searching on this so I apologize if this is one of those common knowledge things. I am relying on Kernel#` and Kernel#system to run some command line utilities in my Rails app. This worked great until I moved to Apache (win32). When running FCGI, neither of these methods work (both return nil). When running CGI, system seems to work, but ` doesn''t. I have investigated environment and permission issues, but nothing seems to make it work. Is this a limitation when running in Apache, or am I missing something? If they are supposed to work, is there a good way to debug these methods? Mark -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
