Hi it''s Noobie Thompson, new to linux and to rails. Has anyone configured Lighttpd with fastcgi to run rails on Ubuntu? I am useing Dapper (flight 5). I have php5 with php5-cgi (downloaded via Synaptic). I have got lighttpd installed and running but I am unable to get the fastcgi/rails side going. I get message to the effect that I must recompile php with Fastcgi enabled. Can anyone help

Okay, I have tested mounting several of my apps under Lighttpd and Apache, both running FastCGI. I''m going to explain the configuration, but first: update. gem install camping --source code.whytheluckstiff.net == Mounting Root for Lighttpd+FastCGI == server.port = 3045 server.bind = "192.168.0.103" server.modules = (

Hi, I''m having difficulty getting ruby running via Lighttpd and fastcgi. My lighttpd.conf reads: server.port = 81 server.pid-file = "/tmp/test_lighttpd.pid" server.modules = ( "mod_redirect", "mod_access", "mod_fastcgi", "mod_accesslog", "mod_simple_vhost" ) server.document-root = "/tmp/mis/public"

I have the fastcgi.server part of my lighttpd.conf like this: fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" => ( "test" => ( "socket" => "/tmp/test1.socket", "bin-path" => "/home/paulbarry/public/dispatch.fcgi", "min-procs" => 1, "max_procs" => 2 ) ) ) When I start

Hello all, I am running in some little stumbling blocks with passenger as a multi user environment (the most problematic feature is that, once you setup a sub-domain passenger wants you to declare on nginx every app running on that nginx server which is not ideal to add apps on the fly and / or if a user wants to run 2 apps from his space) so I was thinking about a more drag a drop / one line

I am going through the process of transferring my MVC skills from Java and LAMP to RoR. If someone wanted beocme master/expert at both FastCGI and SCGI what would be the setup on windows XP? My thinking is to use: -XAMPP+SCGI on c drive -WAMP+FastCGI on f drive -lighttpd +SCGI or FastCGI and bind different servers to different IPs as I can set IPs via loopback interface to my networkcard.

I''m getting an error about not finding the error-handler.

I''m working with a guy who has Apache 1.3 installed on his server, and it''s not an option to simply use lighttpd for a Rails application I''m helping him with. I''ve seen that Apache 2 apparently is crappy when it comes to fastcgi, but 1.3 isn''t so bad. I can then either just run my app straight in Apache, or I could proxy it through to lighttpd. Which

Or maybe I crash it and don''t know why. Here is the setup: I have an action that will crash my debian sarge development box using fcgid, fastcgi and scgi running with Apache2, as well as fastcgi running with lighttpd, every time. Here is the action from the controller: ------------------- def crashme @orders = Order.find(:all, :order => "`id` ASC", :offset

I have a website that needs to run Squirrelmail (which is PHP based), but I'd like to get it feeding into Ruby on Rails as well. I'm looking at lighttpd because it seems to be easier to get it integrated with Rails. I'm curious, though, how difficult it is to get PHP running with it in this configuration. Overall lighttpd seems to be pretty easy to use. However, it looks like I may

i am still really new to all this, and am noticing things as i go along.. i noticed that when i do a: script/server i get a message that lighttpd is running, not webrick.. and it''s using config/lighttpd.conf.. this seems to run fine on both my laptop (for development) and my server (for deployment).. my question is: is this an acceptable way to deploy an app? using script/server

Ever since I moved my dev environment from my Powerbook to my new MacBook Pro, I cannot run the lighttpd webserver - it starts and immediately crashes out with an error (see below) saying a file does not exist. I''ve checked the file does exist. WEBrick works without any problem. Has anyone else experienced this problem? John:~/web john$ ruby script/server => Booting lighttpd

Hello. Since two days I am trying to set up two rails-apps on a vserver-host so that I can access from work ;-) I tried all I can imagine and what Google/MSN teached me: FastCGI, SCGI, Lighttpd, Apache, Alias, Vhosts,.... But nothing really works. I am on Debian 3.1 with Ruby 1.8.4, Rails 1.1.2, FastCGI 2.4.0, mod_fastcgi 2.4.2, ruby_fcgi 0.8.6, ruby_gems 0.8.11, Apache 2.0.54, Lighttpd

I finally got around to installing lighttpd on my mac for dev work, followed the instructions at http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger When I go into my rails app and type "./script/server" I get the following errors: baggio:~/work/teore pergesu$ ./script/server => Booting lighttpd (use ''script/server webrick'' to force WEBrick)

Hi. I''m using RoR 1.0 with FastCGI and lighttpd on a Debian 3.1 box. I have configured lighttpd to do adaptive spawning of the FastCGI processes. However, after shutting down lighttpd the FastCGI processes remain running. Did this problem occur to anyone of you? Is there a fix? I''d be really grateful for every answer.

Hello, I can see http://192.168.1.5/public/index.html i''ve created a controller as it''s mentionned in the rails bible ("agile web dev.." of M.Thomas) If i try http://192.168.1.5/say i have an error "file not found" I''ve really struggled a lot with this and already asked people at #lighhtpd but i really can''t find the answer. This is

I am trying to get Rails running through Lighttpd, on a Suse 10 box running Rails 1.0.0 and Lighttpd 1.4.10 I followed the instructions in the wiki (http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/Lighttpd) but keep getting the same error: linux:/etc/lighttpd # lighttpd -f lighttpd.conf 2006-02-27 12:32:17: (mod_fastcgi.c.997) execve failed for:

Hi, I''m getting the following error message when I try to start lighttpd: BEGIN ERROR: $ script/server => Booting lighttpd (use ''script/server webrick'' to force WEBrick) => Rails application started on http://0.0.0.0:3000 => Call with -d to detach => Ctrl-C to shutdown server (see config/lighttpd.conf for options) 2006-04-24 03:29:39: (mod_fastcgi.c.1022)

It took me a little while to figure this one out. Perhaps it''s obvious to other folks, but in case it''s not: If you''re using lighttpd with an external spawner for non-PHP applications like rails, you need to list explicitly each port that the spawned processes are using, ex: fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" => ( "localhost" =>

Myself and a coworker ran into an issue that only appears with Lighttpd. It does not happen with Webrick or Apache. Our rails app uses libraries outside the ruby standard library paths, and outside our rails application directory. When trying to add those directories to our load path, it was getting screwed up. Here is my posting of the problem in full and the solution we came up with:
