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

I am running apache with mod_fastcgi on Linux - I would like to run my app in production mode, but I could not. Following is what I have in my httpd.conf. Can someone tell me why it does not recognize the env variable for production? The app always runs under development mode i.e ignores the RAILS_ENV directive. thanks/ thila. <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> FastCgiIpcDir /tmp/fcgi_ipc/

I also had a problem with our client''s site www.storkselect.com. When working with up-dating coding...Everythng was fine until I changed the coding from: IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> FastCgiServer /var/www/storkselect/public/dispatch.fcgi \ -initial-env RAILS_ENV=development \ -processes 2 \ -idle-timeout 60 </IfModule> To

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

Okay, well the OpenBSD install/chroot guide is a good starting point.... Anyhow, Can someone shed some light on these particular error messages?

Hi, I have been heck of a time to get mysql and fastcgi to work properly on my Mac OS X box. I keep getting the following error: Can''t connect to local MySQL server through socket ''/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock'' (13) I have even tried commenting out the "socket" option in my database.yml but it still gives me the same error. I''m ok when I

We have our Rail 1.0 application running on Apache 1.3 with FastCGI. The httpd.conf has : <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> FastCgiIpcDir /tmp/fcgi_ipc FastCgiServer /root/zs/public/dispatch.fcgi -processes 2 FastCgiConfig -autoUpdate -initial-env RAILS_ENV=production -idle-timeout 120 -maxClassProcesses 2 -killInterval 300 </IfModule> The dispatch.fcgi is the default provided in the

Hi, I''m having problems running my rails application in the following setup Unix/Apache/FastCgi/Oracle10g. I had my app running quite happy until I installed the OCI8 driver. When I try to load the app I get in the apache logs the famous "undefined method ''define_a_column'' for class OCI8:Cursor (NameError)" I think the problem is with the fastcgi set up

Per the Ruby on Rails book you need something like this for a static server definition: <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> FastCGIIpcDir /tmp/fcgi_ipc FastCGIServer /path/to/app/public/dispatch.fcgi -iniital-env RAILS_ENV=production -processes 15 -idle-timeout 60 </IfModule> So my question is if I have more than 1 app running via apache are these settings applied to each app or do I put

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

i just went through the tutorial on http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoInstallAndRunRubyOnRailsOnCpanel but i''m having some problems. when i add: <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> FastCgiIpcDir /tmp/fcgi_ipc/ AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi </IfModule> under the line that says: LoadModule fastcgi_module libexec/mod_fastcgi.so apache fails to restart. i went on

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 Everybody, I''m down to my last straw. I''ve been trying to deploy my latest rails project on Apache for about two weeks with limited success. I have a lot of info, but still no clue what is causing my problem. I decided to turn to the community for some help... Basically, my site works fine with Apache and FastCGI most of the time, but sometimes I get the "Rails

Hi, I''ve generated a new Rails app and dummy controller "foo" with method "hello". I am trying to run it under Apache/2.0.53 with fastcgi, and getting the index.html page when I hit http://localhost/foo/hello, or for any other request (http://localhost/kdjfslkfjs). Also, there is nothing in the rails logs, and no errors in the apache logs. Relevant bit of

I''m trying to get started with fastcgi on apache 2.0.54 on Fedora Core 4. I''ve created a really simple Rails app that doesn''t do any database actions. It works fine when I call it as CGI, but when I try to switch to fastCGI, I have problems. I get the following error in log/fastcgi.crash.log: [20/Dec/2005:10:16:53 :: 26912] Dispatcher failed to catch: undefined

Hi!

I recently setup a subdomain to run my app as a staging site before pushing changes to the main site. So i setup a subdomain in cpanel, symlinked that the directory to point to a staging directory where i check''d out my rails app. However, when i go to staging.railsapp.com, it times out and says application failed to start properly. I''m not sure what is causing this, but

I need to graft some rails apps onto a website running apache 1.3 and I must be missing something very obvious because I cannot get things working properly. Here is what I need: 1) The server must be running apache 1.3. A very large body of PHP content is currently vended by the server through 5 vhosts and I have neither the time nor resources to replace apache1 with apache2 or lighttpd. Maybe
