Hi, I have an application completed that was built with RoR on windows. So this of course was tested with the webbrick server. I now want to put the project on our apache web server for production. I am having a very hard time getting this accomplished. I followed some of the steps here (because not all of them worked): http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoSetupApacheWithFastCGIAndRubyBindings And I have managed to get ruby, rails, fcgi, and mod_fcgi all installed and working. I even have a test fcgi script that runs fine. However, I''m just not sure how to reference the project once it is on the server. With webbrick you just say localhost:3000/project_name. But we can''t say http://192.168.X.X/project_name on the apache web server because there is no index document. I can hit http://192.168.X.X/project_name/public but when I click on about your applications environment I get this ugly output: #!/usr/bin/ruby # # You may specify the path to the FastCGI crash log (a log of unhandled # exceptions which forced the FastCGI instance to exit, great for debugging) # and the number of requests to process before running garbage collection. # # By default, the FastCGI crash log is RAILS_ROOT/log/fastcgi.crash.log # and the GC period is nil (turned off). A reasonable number of requests # could range from 10-100 depending on the memory footprint of your app. # # Example: # # Default log path, normal GC behavior. # RailsFCGIHandler.process! # # # Default log path, 50 requests between GC. # RailsFCGIHandler.process! nil, 50 # # # Custom log path, normal GC behavior. # RailsFCGIHandler.process! ''/var/log/myapp_fcgi_crash.log'' # require File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../config/environment" require ''fcgi_handler'' RailsFCGIHandler.process! All of the tutorials that I find seem to say the same stuff, has anyone set this up before that could help? thanks, Tate -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Apache 2.2 is the default Apache version, and I couldn''t get mod_fcgi and FastCGI installed and compiled happily. The situation may have changed, and someone who actually knows what they are doing could probably get it to work, but I ended up using fcgid, and that''s been fine. If you want details about what I tried or have running now, let me know. My advice to you -- though, I haven''t done this on SuSE -- is to go with mongrel. It''s much easier to set up and works great. You''ll also need something like pound out in front on a production site.

Yeah, if you could detail what you have and how it is working, that would be awesome. I have fcgid running and it does work because I can run a test script. But I would like to know how to get a ruby project up and running with this framework. It doesn''t even have to be the one that is already developed...I would be completely happy making a new project and seeing it run. thanks, -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

If you''ve got apache 2.2, it makes a nice load balance in front of mongrel and mongrel_cluster : http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/apache.html On 9/20/06, Tate Harmann <rails-mailing-list-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > > Yeah, if you could detail what you have and how it is working, that > would be awesome.

Take a look here: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/apache.html. I have a similar set-up on a BSD staging server, and I like it. Though I have to say that fcgid has done just fine on a moderately-high traffic site. Here''s a summary of what I''ve got in production on SuSE 10.1: apache2 2.2.0 apache2-devel 2.2.0 apache2-prefork 2.2.0 libapr1 1.2.2 libapr1-devel 1.2.2 ruby 1.8.4 FastCGI 2.4.0 FastCGI-devel 2.4.0 apache2-mod_fcgid 1.07 Ruby fcgi 0.8.7 (ruby-fcgi 0.8.6 SuSE packages not installed) /etc/sysconfig/apache2 APACHE_MODULES: fcgid /etc/conf.d/mod_fcgid.conf <IfModule mod_fcgid.c> DefaultInitEnv RAILS_ENV production SocketPath /tmp/fcgidsock AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi IdleTimeOut 3600 ProcessLifeTime 7200 MaxProcessCount 8 DefaultMaxClassProcessCount 3 IPCConnectTimeout 20 IPCCommTimeout 300 </IfModule> /etc/vhosts.d/obra.conf <VirtualHost app.obra.org:80> DocumentRoot /srv/www/rails/obra/current/public ErrorLog /srv/www/rails/obra/current/log/server.log UseCanonicalName On <Directory "/srv/www/rails/obra"> Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Allow from all Order allow,deny </Directory> </VirtualHost> This is what I had before with Apache 2.0 and SuSE 10.0: /etc/conf.d/mod_fastcgi.conf <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> FastCgiIpcDir /tmp/fcgi_ipc/ FastCgiServer /srv/www/rails/obra/current/public/dispatch.fcgi - initial-env RAILS_ENV=production -processes 6 -idle-timeout 60 </IfModule> BTW, thinking about your original post, does ''RAILS_ROOT/log/ fastcgi.crash.log'' exist, and is it writable by your Apache user?

I''ve had really good luck with the instructions outlined here: http://blog.codahale.com/2006/06/19/time-for-a-grown-up-server-rails-mongrel-apache-capistrano-and-you/ I did not do the Capistrano setup piece, and I used proxy-pass directives in httpd.conf instead of the various rewrite rules, but it''s speedy and flexible. c. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thanks for all of the help guys...I''ll try those links out. Scott, that is roughly how I have my SuSE server set up. I''m just a little confused at how to access a new RoR project. Lets say my server ip is 192.168.1.80 and I create a new project called test with "rails test" Do I use http://192.168.1.80/test/ as the url? There is no index document in there by default. Rails does have one at: http://192.168.1.80/test/public/ But that is just a welcome page. thanks again, -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

RAILS_ROOT/public is the root for static content. In your example, http://192.168.1.80 will return the default public/index.html page. With my example config: <VirtualHost app.obra.org:80> DocumentRoot /srv/www/rails/obra/current/public <Directory "/srv/www/rails/obra"> ... </Directory> </VirtualHost> routes.rb: map.connect "/schedule/:year/:action", :controller => "schedule" So, http://app.obra.org/schedule/2006/list gets you to my ScheduleController''s list method. If you want to handle requests like http://app.obra.org, see the comments in routes.rb. If you want to set up different Rails projects in their own directories (e.g., http://www.obra.org/test_project/), you''ll need to set up Locations in your Apache config.

Put a symbolic link in your apache documents folder to <rails_dir>/test/public. For instance (assuming file locations), cd /usr/local/apache2/htdocs ln -s /var/rails/test/public ./test Now you can access your rails application at http://192.168.1.80/test/ (assuming all other stuff being set up appropriately). You''ll need to remove/rename the index document in the rails public folder. c.
