Rails - Jun 2006 - running lighttpd -> Recognition failed for "/"

i have tried several tutorials on the web for getting my app to run 
under lighttpd and fastcgi..

my setup is fedora core 5..

i used this to get everything installed:

http://www.digitalmediaminute.com/howto/fc4rails/

but i kept getting errors, as the machine i am installing it is a remote 
machine, i couldn''t get it to work right..

i next tried this:

http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/posts/show/175

and here are the errors i get...

when i try to hit the site, i get:

Routing Error

Recognition failed for "/"

when i look at the logs, i get:

killed by this error

my lighttpd.conf looks like this:

server.port                = 80
server.bind                = "0.0.0.0"

server.pid-file             = "/tmp/test_lighttpd.pid"
#server.event-handler = "freebsd-kqueue"

server.modules = ( "mod_rewrite", "mod_redirect",
"mod_access",
"mod_fastcgi", "mod_accesslog" )

server.document-root        = "/home/sergio/test/public/"
server.indexfiles           = ( "dispatch.fcgi",
"index.html" )
accesslog.filename          = 
"/home/sergio/test/log/lighttpd_access.log"
server.errorlog             =
"/home/sergio/test/log/lighttpd_error.log"
server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi"


#### fastcgi module
## read fastcgi.txt for more info
fastcgi.server =  (
  ".fcgi" => (
    "test" => (
      "socket" => "/tmp/test1.socket",
      "bin-path" =>
"/home/sergio/test/public/dispatch.fcgi",
      "min-procs" => 1,
      "max_procs" => 2
    )
  )
)

its very particular about trailing slashes in lighttpd.conf. if they are there,
try removing them (or vice versa) in the 3 or so places where they are defined
(depending on if you are using an abstract root or not).

make sure you have a route hooked up for '''' in routes.rb

if that fails, check for a more useful error in /var/log/lighttpd/*,
YOURAPP/logs/fastcgi.crash.log YOURAPP/log/{development,production}.log.
sometimes a version mismatch or missing gem or such will leave a totally
nondescript error in the browser, if any..

if that fails, try mongrel..

good luck!

> if that fails, try mongrel..
i will try these things for sure...

i will probably write another post about this, but i am not sure what 
mongrel is.. i have read a little about it.. i will check it out..

thanks!
