With the release of our filmfury.com project, I''ve been trying to rise to the stature of a true system administrator in the last couple of days (haha). I''m trying to understand how all of the pieces to this apache/fastcgi deployment fit together. Here''s what I''ve learned so far: * You need a separate FastCGI server for each Rails application on your

Hello gurus, I''ve had a Rails app going strong for a month now running as CGI, and users are finally complaining of the speed. So I''m attempting a FastCGI setup. I''ve followed the RHEL instructions for fastcgi from the wiki and googled for a day and am getting nowhere. Anybody have a hint? :) error_log: [Sun Feb 12 08:51:01 2006] [crit] (13)Permission denied:

hello, I have a server running apache-1.3 with mod_fastcgi that''s happily running a rails application. Life is good ;) I would like to setup another application (vhost) on the same server..

hi all, I can blab, but here is a sample of my /var/log/apache2/error.log, it has all the info: any ideas what I can do prevent 500s from hitting my users? (besides redirecting them with javascript to the same URL which will be fine on the next request? :) thanks, _alex [Fri Jun 24 12:30:45 2005] [error] [client 172.20.0.175] FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from

Hello, I just did a "gem update" on my server updating to the latest version. After this none of my scripts work. In apache error log I get: FastCGI: comm with (dynamic) server "/home/user/public_html/dispatch.fcgi" aborted: (first read) idle timeout (30 sec) My only guess is that the problem is related to the fastCGI binding but I have no idea what to look for.

If I switch from fcgi to the cgi dispatcher the stylesheets work? Anyone have any ideas?

Folks ... I have been porting my app from dev environment on Webrick to Apache with FastCGI. I have the app responding and pulling up the data, but it is ignoring the "images", "stylesheets", "javascripts" directories located in the public directory. I''m running Apache under Suse Linux 9.x. Here is the information that I have in my vhosts.conf file:

Hello! I''m struggling here with getting Typo running on a Red Hat server under Apache 2 / fcgi...

Hi, I''ve downloaded the latest stabil Hieraki. I have ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i686-linux], the latest rails (and gems, too), Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) and mod_fastcgi/mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0404142202. I''m successfully running Typo (from SVN) as a FastCGI application. Hieraki works well with "script/server", and works well as a .cgi (just very slow). My problem is, that

Hi All, I have a Rails application that needs to be served from a Fedora Core 3 Linux server. The application runs well as a "plain" CGI application. My next step was to speed things up with FastCGI installed via "gem install fcgi". (version 0.8.6.1). That approach lead to this error in the fastcgi.crash.log: Dispatcher failed to catch: undefined method

Hello everybody. I know, I know, another post about Apache 2, but I have looked a lot on the internet and I haven''t found the answer to my problem. I have a Linux Fedora Core 5 box, with Apache 2.2.2 (compiled and installed), Ruby 1.8.4 (compiled and installed), RubyGems 0.8.11 (compiled and installed) and Rails... I don''t know what version as this one I haven installed

We''re trying to run Ruby on Rails on Debian with Apache and FastCGI, but can''t get it to work. As far as we can tell, it seems to go wrong in the final stages; Apache appears not to be doing anything with dispatch.fcgi, even though FastCGI looks to be set up correctly. We''ve followed several "how to"s, but we don''t get any other results. What

Recently my application has refused to start on my production environment. The setup is debian(unstable)/apache2/fastcgi/mysql Rails 0.10 (upgrading to 0.10.1 as we speak) When I first start up apache the machine grinds to a crawl starting up the dispatch.cfi processes. It''s a VPS with 256M of ram, but still (in addition to user time) it''s spending 30% of time in system

Hi all I''m currently running rails on apache/windows and it seems like rails has trouble getting started the first few times I start apache and request a page.

So I''m getting ready to setup a production environment on my boxen (running Fedora Core 3), what are my options? I''ve seen a number of posts about FastCGI, SCGI, etc. and am completely lost as to what I should be setting up on my box (that I hopefully won''t have to touch for a while). I need to run Collaboa, Typo and probably 3 or 4 other apps on this, so

I followed this tutorial on the rails wiki about how to get apache with fastcgi working on a vps machine: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoInstallAndRunRubyOnRailsOnCpanel In the tutorial it said to add this to the httpd.conf file to get fastcgi working. <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> FastCgiIpcDir /tmp/fcgi_ipc/ AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi </IfModule> However

Hi Everyone, I am sure this question has been asked many time before but I really could not get a good solution. The problem I am having is that the application I wrote is acting very slow. For example for the production database, the query I make takes about 3-4 minutes. The application connects to 2 oracle databases(on a remote location) and gets information based on a given search criteria.It
