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

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

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

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

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.

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. In the DreamHost FTP app, when I look in the error.log file (I''m guessing this the Apache error log file) I see the following for each of my attempts: [Sun Jul 16 12:36:32 2006]

I''m not able to access anything in public, everything seems to be going through the rails router. As a result, I can''t get to stylesheets or javascript. I''m not quite clear if this is a .htaccess problem, or a router problem. I eliminated the "catchall" route, so the last route is map.connect '':controller/:action/:id'' My .htaccess file

So I''ve written my first real-world RoR app and I''m now getting ready to deploy it. Unfortunately, my client decided to use GoDaddy as the hosting provider and based on what I''ve seen so far from the web, it''s not really the smoothest or ideal hosting for RoR apps. There were several posts here that I tried to follow but they were kinda old (2008, 2007). Most of

Hi ! Has anyone got any tips/tricks on running a Productized Rails app on DreamHost ? Specifically, I get this in my error.log: ----------- [Mon Oct 10 11:39:46 2005] [error] [client 69.70.225.69] mod_rewrite: maximum number of internal redirects reached. Assuming configuration error.

Hi, I''m getting the below attached error when I navigate to the root of my web application on my hosting site (dreamhost.com), however in development it works fine. Any ideas? That is I have one controller so the direct URL is "http://mydomain.com/contacts". This works on dreamhost and locally. BUT when I go to "http://mydomain.com/" this works locally (on

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,

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

Dan did you get camping running on dreamhost already?? i?m trying to run it also but i haven''t succeed yet. it runs on command line but when i add the rewrite rules on .htaccess i get a internal server error. I emailed support to ask about ScriptAlias and they say they cannot change or add that to apache conf. -- Andr? G. Cardozo

Hi I''m a .php coder trying to allow a Ruby on Rails website to access some .php scripts. I notice everything get redirected with Ruby on Rails in the .htaccess file. How do I stop Rails from redirecting my .php scripts which would be in another directory. Cheers (.htaccess is below) # General Apache options AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi AddHandler cgi-script .cgi Options

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

I''m a java/php programmer trying out Ruby/Rails on my Dreamhost account. I followed the wiki steps to the letter (2x now) and am still getting a 404 when I hit my dispatch.fcgi. http://mydomain.com/public/dispatch.fgci Can someone give me suggestions on how to debug this problem? Here is my dispatch.fcgi file: #!/usr/bin/env ruby # # You may specify the path to the FastCGI crash log

I''m trying to deploy an app on Dreamhost and I''m getting the infamous 500 Server Error. Nothing in the rails logs because it looks to be happening before it gets there. In the apache error logs we have: [Wed Apr 12 12:51:51 2006] [error] [client 194.80.32.9] FastCGI: comm with (dynamic) server "/home/rlivsey/thatsprogress.com/current/public/dispatch.fcgi"

I have set up FastCGI on the server and added 2 servers/processes and increased the timeout from 30seconds to 60seconds. I _think_ I did that properly because I now have to wait the full 60 seconds like clockwork until I get the "Rails application failed to start" when I browse to my URL. Before it was 30 seconds like clockwork. When I run "ruby dispatch.fcgi" I get the
