webrick works fine but lighttpd breaks on the most simple issue
I''ve spent four hours trolling google search results and have scoured my own logs and can find nothing. Until recently I used Webrick for all my http server needs. Now I''m going live to the outside world. So I download lighttpd-1.4.13.tar.gz and perform ./configure and make install. I add /usr/local/sbin (where lighttpd lives now) and I''m done. Fastcgi is built-in so I install no other stuff. I go to the top level of my ROR app (/home/smiller/beamon-erp) and perform: script/server Since lighttpd is on path it runs it instead of webrick. Realizing there''s no lighttpd.conf in my config directly, it copies one in from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.6/configs/lighttpd.conf and then is off and running just fine. I start my browser (firefox on RH linux) to localhost:3000 and I immediately get this error: --------------------------------- no such file to load -- app/helpers/content_helper RAILS_ROOT: /home/smiller/beamon-erp/public/../config/.. ... This error occured while loading the following files: application.rb app/helpers/content_helper ---------------------------------- And yet, if I run webrick, instead of lighttpd, it works without a scintila of a problem. Furthermore, there''s no question but that app/helpers/content_helper exists relative to the RAILS_ROOT: ls -lad /home/smiller/beamon-erp/public/../config/../app/helpers/content_helper.rb -rw------- 1 smiller smiller 16928 Dec 18 18:50 /home/smiller/beamon-erp/public/../config/../app/helpers/content_helper.rb Of course I had to add a trailing / to make the path right i.e. the RAILS_ROOT needs a trailing / so that merely appending app/helpers/content_helper[.rb] gives the correct path. I suspect something more, likely-simple. What on earth is going on? The development log does not report an errno value so I don''t really know why content_helper.rb isn''t found.
