similar to: rails threads / contexts / fastcgi - can someone explain ???

Hi, Background: I''m currently stuck getting my basic rails application working on dreamhost. I have gone throught the doco. Note that I can via my unix account run "ruby script/server" and get the application working via webbrick. The problem I am having is that trying to go to the app via the normal apache approach my browser just sits and spins with nothing coming

Is there any problem with versions compatibility? A project I started with 1.1.2 cannot run with 1.1.4. Dreamhost recently updated their rails from 1.1.2 to 1.1.5 and 1.1.6. Needless to say I got "Application Error". However when I changed RAILS_GEM_VERSION to either 1.1.5 or 1.1.6, it works. (Haven''t made a thorough checking though.) Here it seems there is no

Does anyone have any experience with production deployment of RoR on Dreamhost? Is it now stable enough? Any tips and tricks? Thanks a lot, Tom

Hi, I changed my environmnet.rb to say PRODUCTION mode, however when I start up a server "ruby scripts/server" a) it runs in development mode (via the logs) - any ideas why? b) why does webbrick run - I thought by default now it was supposed to be lightty Tks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Can anyone provide some expert debugging help here? What''s the first step to take to see what the issue is here? I have no errors in the rails app''s log files. The only errors I have are those provided by apache and they are: ''FastCGI: Incomplete headers (0) bytes received from server'' I''ve tried editing the shebang line, removing line feeds, but

I use dreamhost for my hosting provider, and I am working on app where it requires large files (max 10 MB) to be uploaded to the server. As of right now the fastcgi processes are configured with: FastCgiConfig -autoUpdate -initial-env RAILS_ENV=production \ -idle-timeout 120 -maxClassProcesses 5 -killInterval 300 My problem is that I try and upload a file via the web that is around 5 MB

Wondering: Does Apache shut down inactive FastCGI processes if it doesn''t get any requests for a while? My app works fine if it''s being used regularly, but it will respond very slowly to the first request after an hour of zero traffic. Is there a way to keep FastCGI ready all the time, even when there haven''t been any requests for a while? We''re deploying

I am running a RoR application on Apache 1.3/RedHat 7.3/MySQL 3.1.23 (Old versions I know, but upgrading to latest versions are not practical for a number of reasons). There are 5 RoR FastCGI processes configured using FastCgiServer. What I am finding is that, after a while, some of the FastCGI processes seem to ''hang''. They no longer process requests, and the only way to

Does your *shared* hosting account work without errors? I''m interested in both positive and negative reports. If you are willing, please contribute - name of the hosting service - how long you have used them - your experience ("flawless!", "it''s crap!") You *do not* need to reply saying your VPS service works great. This is about *shared* hosting

There has been discussion about using wget and curl to ping a server every 5 minutes or so to keep the fastcgi processes alive. I didn''t find a command line for this so I thought I''d post one. Put this in your crontab using crontab -e or your favorite other method: 0-59/5 * * * * curl -r 0-99 http://somedomain.com>/dev/null 2>/dev/null This hits the default page of

Sorry to trouble the list with another Dreamhost problem, but looking through the archives I see nothing that can solve my problem. I have installed my app as per http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/Ruby_on_Rails#Quick_Start_Guide_August_2006 with a symbolic link from my_domain.tld in ~/ to ~/apps/residence/public/ I get the Rails welcome screen. I have uploaded my app directory etc, and

Hi, Just trying to get Capistrano working to Dreamhost. I''m hitting a permissions issue on the reaper file at the moment. Has anyone a copy of the capistrano DEPLOY.RB file they could post or send me a copy of please? Thanks Greg -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, Just trying to get my first database based rails app up on dreamhost.com. The app was working prior to putting in mysql DB usage but I''m just stuck on getting the app working with mysql. I''ve already created the database and can connect to it manually. Below is the error I get after running the rake migrate. It worked OK on my home PC environment. I did change the

any pointers / suggestions re cheapest Rails hosting where they give you full access to Apache (to load modules etc)??? Can be a shared platform, however not sure if there is a shared platform type hosting service where they do give you such access?

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

I''m trying to setup an app on Dreamhost and running into no end of problems. The app is running with edge rails and I''m currently getting the dreaded ''Rails application failed to start'' white screen when trying to access it. I''ve gone through all the ''gotchas'' and troubleshooting docs at Dreamhost and the rails wiki to no avail.

Hi, I am very new to this so please go easy on me... I am trying to deploy my app on dreamhost and I seem to be having problems getting it working. One of the troubleshooting items on the wiki states: Rails apps in production mode do not reflect changes made after they start running. So, if you found a bug, fixed it and nothing appeared to happen--this is probably because you

Hi, I made some experiments with the sample blog application, my index.fcgi file contains the following: require ''camping/fastcgi'' Camping::Models::Base.establish_connection( :adapter => ''sqlite3'', :database => ''database/camping.db'' ) Camping::FastCGI.serve(''blog.rb'') Without ScriptAlias the application works fine,

Hi, I know that Apache2 + fastcgi is sometimes difficult to setup, but I was wondering if anyone has come across this error and if yes what did you do to resolve it? [Wed Jan 18 14:58:12 2006] [error] [client 77.123.19.115] FastCGI: comm with server "/var/htdocs/ot/public/dispatch.fcgi" aborted: idle timeout (120 sec) [Wed Jan 18 14:58:12 2006] [error] [client 77.123.19.115]
