Hi everyone, I tried looking around google and found not too many clear and elaborate tutorials for a absolute beginner. I knew I could count on all the people here. Here is what I want to do. I want to have a SSL connection for logging in and for transactions. I did not actually start yet, just trying to get the know how first. I read at places the things to have are Lighty and SCGI which I have downloaded. The db I wanted to use was MySQL. Now here is where I need help. How do you configure lighty and SCGI to work with my app. Also, how do you start using SSL? Configuring Lighty and/or SCGI to use SSL. Create a certificate to use during development? Start Lighty and my app. Also sample code for controllers to handle a login with https. I do appreciate your help and time on my problem. If there are other avenues other then lighty & SCGI, please recommend them to me. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Now here is where I need help. How do you > configure lighty and SCGI to work with my app.Assuming you are using the latest scgi gem (0.9.0) you should be deploying with ruby-style (the successor to scgi_ctrl). Read the README to both the scgi and ruby-style gems.> Also, how do you start > using SSL? Configuring Lighty and/or SCGI to use SSL.Read Lighty''s documentation: http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/wiki/Docs%3ASSL> Create a > certificate to use during development?Lighty''s SSL documentation page has an example> Start Lighty and my app.Read the ruby-style gem''s README for starting Rails. The lighty documentation probably has an exampe for starting lighty.>Also > sample code for controllers to handle a login with https.Controller code is no different. The link in your view should specify https (preferably you should be using https on the page that contains the login form as well). If you want to only allow logins via SSL, check out the ssl_requirement plugin.> > I do appreciate your help and time on my problem.

I''d recommend using ruby-style for clustering, though there are other options (mongrel_cluster, seesaw). -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Ok everyone,
I tried my best and this is as far as I got. I can see the "Welcome
Rails" screen when I type in 127.0.0.1. But I can''t see any of my
controller/views. Here is my lighttpd-inc.conf file. It is currently
located in "C:\Program Files\LightTPD\conf"
# LightTPD Configuration file (INCLUDE)
#
# Use it as a base for LightTPD 1.0.0 and above.

I want to use lighttpd during development because I want to test SSL.
Can anyone help me answer the question why I am not able to see my
views. I am developing in Windows if that matters. Also using the most
current lighttpd and scgi. Thanks for your help.
