Hello,
I''m very new to Rails. I''ve been trying to set it up on my
Linux server.
The installation was smooth and painless. I followed the instructions on
the Ruby on Rails website.
So I''m running Rails 1.2.3, ruby 1.8.4 and Gem 0.9.0. I created a new
application:
rails testproject
I''m trying to use Apache instead of having to use WebBrick because my
server already uses Apache. So, it should be using dispatch.cgi via
.htaccess. When I visit the page in my browser, I get the standard
"Welcome aboard" message. But when I click "About your
applications
environment" I get "Application error
Rails application failed to start properly". Digging into Apache''s
error
log, it is complaining about Premature end of script headers. So, I did
some digging and found I should try running dispatch.cgi through the
shell. When I do, I get this:
[root@fire public]# ./dispatch.cgi
Status: 400 Bad Request
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:404:in
`to_constant_name'': Anonymous modules have no name to be referenced by
(ArgumentError)
from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:214:in
`qualified_name_for''
from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:476:in
`const_missing''
from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.3/lib/dispatcher.rb:117:in
`reset_after_dispatch''
from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.3/lib/dispatcher.rb:51:in
`dispatch''
from ./dispatch.cgi:10
I''ve looked high and low and cannot find anything pointing to what the
problem might be. I should note I did try running WebBrick, and through
WebBrick everything works fine. So, it''s definitely an issue with
dispatch.cgi I just don''t know what.
Thanks in advance.
JP

Usually when I get the premature end of header error, I''ve been able to load up script/console and it will crash with a more robust error message letting me know that I''ve forgotten some code in config/environment.rb. If you''re not getting an error with Webrick, I''m not sure. But I''d start looking around in config/environment.rb. It seems that any problems in that file never make it to a non-Apache log whereas bugs in other files are written to the appropriate RAILS_ENV mode log file. Does that help? :/ RSL On 3/30/07, JP <rails-mailing-list-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > > Hello, > > I''m very new to Rails.

Thanks Russell. So I did a bit more digging and have found that most people with this issue just abandon SCGI and head for FCGI and things just magically work. Lo and behold I compiled mod_fastcgi as a DSO for Apache, installed ruby-fcgi, fixed .htaccess and hallelujah, different error! After digging into the development log, it was clear it was a permission error on tmp and after fixing that I get "For security purposes, this information is only available to local requests." YEY, it works! I''m thinking I don''t even know why they bother to include SCGI since it doesn''t work for 9.5/10 people. Thanks for your quick reply.

Heh. Man, I apologize for having misread your email. I thought you were talking about dispatch.fcgi [with an "f"]. [Stupid slow-acting coffee!] Glad you got things working though.
