I have a web server (apache2) that I want to host my ruby app on. So far I''ve been unsuccessful in getting a hello world app to work. I''ve tried playing around with my virtual host file to get it to point to my index.html.erb. I''ve tried playing around with the config/routes.rb to get it to work. But so far no luck. Can someone point to me to a howto on getting my hello world app to work, or shed some light on some common problems? I''m running Ubuntu 7.10, apache2, rails 2.0 (I think). I have my ruby app in my example.com/ directory which has the typical rails folders (app, config, etc). Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi, Deploying Rails apps can be tricky. The issue is, you need a web gateway to your program (in other words, requests have to come into the webserver, and then the webserver has to run rails with ruby SOMEhow)... the .htaccess file in rails public folder is set up to do CGI serving by default. The easiest (but really really crappy) way if you''re using Apache is probably going to be to use cgi. You need to ensure that your docroot of the virtual host is pointing to the public folder of your app. Better than this is fastCGI, but it''s not incredibly good. (To use fastcgi, you''ll need to change the .htaccess file slightly, and ensure you have mod_fastcgi turn on in your apache conf file) The best way (at present) if you''re using apache is to use mod_proxy and mod_proxy_balancer to proxy to a cluster of mongrels. That way, apache will serve your static stuff, and mongrel will serve your dynamic stuff. Julian. Learn Ruby on Rails!

Thanks for your reply Julian. It sounds like getting Ruby and Rails to work with Apache might take some playing around with. I''d like to try to get it to work, but at the same time I''m committed to learning Ruby and it seems that Mongrel is the preferred way to go, sooo... Is it really better to go the Mongrel route than the Apache route? What kind of advantages are there to Mongrel. When I hear about open source web servers, Apache is always the first I hear about. That''s the reason I started with it. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Apache is good. It''s solid, fast and stable. Apache can''t run ruby apps, though. If you were using PHP, you''d just use the mod_php plugin in apache and that''d be that... apache would call mod_php for every time it needed to compile a php file, and you''d be happy as larry and almost none the wiser (not really needing to know much about how it works). We''re using Rails, though, and mod_ruby is crappy, so we don''t use it. Thus, we''re left with a few options - cgi, fastcgi, all whole slew of other things that run ruby apps on "proxy" for apache (where apache simply sends the requests over to these other mini-servers, one of which is mongrel), etc. The reason I recommended cgi at first, is that it doesn''t require setting up any other things. A cluster of mongrels requires that you have something that starts and stops them. Now, the disadvantage of cgi is that it''s really quite slow, AND it does some odd things with taking up huge amounts of resources (both kinds: CPU power and Memory/space). The "next hardest" is fastCGI. FastCGI is faster, but it still has its own issues (memory leaks, sometimes hard to configure, etc) and it''s biggest disadvantage is that you have to deal with killing it and sometimes it just won''t die properly, etc. (it''s a bitch to manage, basically). The disadvantage of a mongrel_cluster is, as I said, you have to manage its starting and stopping, which includes (i''m not sure what platform you''re on) setting up rc.d files, or adding things to OS/X''s launchd config. In other words, YOU have to manage it. The reason Evan Phoenix and EngineYard are putting so much effort into rubinius, which you may or may not have heard of is that it will fix rails and ruby''s two major issues: 1. Ruby is slow(er than comparative web technologies). 2. Deploying Ruby things to the web is a bitch. We''ll (most likely) end up with mod_rubinius, which will simply plug into apache or nginx or something else and all our server issues will be moot. Julian. Learn Ruby on Rails!

No, if you use JRuby, deploying apps is still a bitch compared to php.

Wow, I hate to break up the debate, but here''s a useful resource for Mickey: http://articles.slicehost.com If you want to set up a production server, then check out the articles there. I found them very helpful, though I am still learning more about Apache. At this point, you don''t have to decide what you think is the "best" solution - just get something working.

Thanks all for the help. I do have a simple Ruby app working in my development environment (WEBrick), but my attempts to deploy it on my web server have been discouraging. I''ll check that link out after work Kyle, thanks for that. But I''m definitely ready for the deployment stage (proof of concept, before I finish my development).

The reading will help, but here''s basically what happens in a typical (if there is such a thing) Apache/Mongrel setup: Apache receives the request Apache sees if the request is for a static file ---If so, Apache serves the file ---If not, Apache proxies the request to Mongrel That''s very simplistic, but it''s basically what happens if you set up your server like slicehost lays out. So, to answer your question, yes, you can (and will) run both servers on the same machine and the same port. -Kyle On Apr 10, 11:14 am, Mickey Cowden <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Thanks all for the help.

Hi Conrad,
Thanks for the link. Looks like something I''d like to try out. When I
tried to install it "sudo gem install passenger", I get the following
error:
ERROR: Error installing passenger:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
Any ideas? Thanks for the help!
Mickey

What do I need to build ruby extensions? I''ve done: "sudo apt-get install build-essential" but I still have the problem. Thanks.

Hey Mickey, did you following the instructions on the following page: http://www.modrails.com/documentation/Users%20guide.html I guess the most important steps are: section 2.2 section 2.3 Let me know and I''ll talk to you later.

I did a write-up on my experience getting mod_rails running on Ubuntu. Should work for Debian as well. For your situation, just ignore everything from the ''Get Typo'' header on down. http://macksmind.net/2008/04/13/installing-typo-blog-engine-and-mod_rails-for-multiple-accounts/ -Mack macksmind.net On Wed, Apr 23, 2008 at 8:39 AM, Mickey Cowden <rails-mailing-list-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > What do I need to build ruby extensions?

Thanks guys. You all have been a great resource in learning this stuff :) It looks like I''ve gotten a lot closer to being able to deploy my Ruby app. I ran through the list of items to install that Mack posted on his blog and there were several that hadn''t been installed yet. One of the instructions of configuring Passenger is to copy some lines from the config to the apache configuration file (which I assume is the /etc/init.d/apache2 file). It doesn''t say where to add it, so I append it to the end of the file and get the following error: Instructions that the config says to add: LoadModule passenger_module /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-1.0.1/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so RailsSpawnServer /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-1.0.1/bin/passenger-spawn-server RailsRuby /usr/bin/ruby1.8 and here''s the error I get when I do "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart": /etc/init.d/apache2: 206: LoadModule: not found Any ideas what to do here? Thanks again for the help.

The apache config file is either /etc/apache2/apache.conf or /etc/ apache2/httpd.conf. You might have more virtual host files in /etc/ apache2/sites-available/sitename (which then must be enabled). The file that you added lines to is just the init script that starts and stops apache. -Kyle On Apr 26, 10:25 pm, Mickey Cowden <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Thanks guys.

Thanks for the help Kyle. That fixed the problem I was having. I feel like I''m really close, but now I''m seeing an error 500 with the text: We''re sorry, but something went wrong. We''ve been notified about this issue and we''ll take a look at it shortly. I feel like this is a problem with the routes.rb, but I''m not sure about that. The only change I made to the routes.rb file is I uncommented the line: map.root :controller => "welcome" I have a controller: app/controllers/welcome_controller.rb and a view: app/views/welcome/index.html.erb Does anyone see something obvious that I''m doing wrong? Do I need to configure MySQL with a user / pass for rails? Thanks again for the help.

I have my production environment up and running now. The problem was that I didn''t have MySQL configured properly. (I figured for a "hello world" app that didn''t require a database, that I didn''t have to have the database configured). But the question I have now is how do I encrypt my MySQL password in the config/database.yml file? I can actually view my credentials at: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/example.com/app/config/database.yml So anyone can view my password right now! It''s a dummy password for now, but still, at some point it''s going to be a big deal that anyone can view my MySQL user credentials. What are my options for securing those credentials? Thanks in advance.
