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

I''ve tried setting up an Hello World app with Rails (no database), on a Dreamhost account. I used the configuration I found here http://www.mail-archive.com/camping-list at rubyforge.org/msg00114.html with the proper paths. But I keep getting Internal Server Errors (500). On the error.log I found this [Sun Jul 22 15:32:07 2007] [error] [client 82.154.48.138] FastCGI: comm with (dynamic)

I just started using DreamHost, and http://rtest.openprofile.net is the first Rails site I put there. I read the information in their wiki about setup, since I hadn''t used Rails with Apache before, and dutifully added the recommended "froo handler" to dispatch.fcgi. Bad idea. I sprouted endless dispatch.fcgi processes, and had to kill off a handful every hour or two. I

Hi, I''m trying to set up Substruct (shopping cart engine) on Dreamhost. I failed several times and tracked down to the problem area. I can reproduce the problem with these steps: 1. install rails 2. change public/.htaccess for fcgi 3. change public/dispatch.fcgi for RailsFCGIHandler At this step, I can execute public/dispatch.fcgi without error. 4. svn co

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

Greetings all, I''ve got an app in production at dreamhost, but I can''t seem to force FCGI on it. I have it enabled for the domain in the admin panel, have checked the file permissions in my public folder, and tried firing the scripts from the command line. When firing either dispatch.cgi, or dispatch.fcgi from the command line, I get a 500 internal server error on BOTH.

Does anybody have experience with running ferret on dreamhost ? My app is running ok until I install the acts_as_ferret plugin, at which point I get "Rails application failed to start properly" errors. I''ve used script/console to confirm that I can require ''ferret'' and make a new Index object . Everything appears to be ok in that respect. Unfortunately

Is anybody getting acceptable performance with a Rails application on Dreamhost? By this, I mean response times no greater than 3 seconds, and no large numbers of FCGI processes that you have to kill manually. If so, how? I''ve ended up running a constant ping script (once every ten minutes), and still have to kill some number of excess dispatch.fcgi processes every day. Along with

Hey everyone, I have an application running on dreamhost with fast cgi (FCGI). I have a model, "Member", that has the following validation: validates_uniqueness_of :email, :if => Proc.new{|member| !member.email.blank?} The :if clause is really not needed because an email address is required and in fact the model also has: validates_presence_of :email

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.

Hello! I''m trying rails on DreamHost.com. It worked fine until days ago. Now if I run "rails", I got the following error. [rampart]$ rails /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:194:in `report_activate_error'': RubyGem version error: activerecord(1.13.2 not = 1.14.0) (Gem::LoadError) from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:136:in `activate''

What pain. I am ready to switch hosts. I have this app in Dreamhost where I load the static pages just fine. The location of my rails app is /home/username/webaddress.com Under that resides the app/, public/ and so on. Like I said I can see my static pages that I have under public since I have in the Managed host panel the following: Web Directory: /home/username/[ webaddress.com/public

Hello! I am testing rails on DreamHost. I believe it''s running on apache. In development mode, it ran very slowly. So I changed it into production mode and switched to fcgi. It''s very fast now. But the problem is that if I add actions to a controller, it''s not applied. I know that in production mode, I need to restart web server. But I don''t control the web

I''ve got my app running under cgi, but I keep getting pwned by fcgi. - app is installed at www.mydomain.com - web root is www.mydomain.com/public (this works w/ regular cgi) - /public has correct permissions - .htaccess: rewrite rule changed to use .fcgi - shebang on dispatch.fcgi and dispatch.rb is set to #!/usr/bin/ruby1.8 (also tried just ruby) -environment.rb : running in prod Any

Hi all! I''m trying to deploy an application out to a subdomain at dreamhost. I am getting the dreaded "Rails application failed to start properly" error. The logs for my app are empty.

I''m having trouble getting Capistrano to work on Dreamhost. I seem to be having problems logging in, but I can ssh fine to my dreamhost server from this machine. This doesn''t seem like a dreamhost specific thing to me, but I''m kind of stuck. Here''s the exception I get from "cap setup":
