similar to: using lighttpd - fastcgi

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:

I have been trying to get Lighttpd working.... we have been using webrick, but want to move to a production quality web server. I followed the instructions found here : http://brainspl.at/pages/rails_stack We are developing on windows and deploying to Fedora Linux. We''re using rails 1.0. The build actually happens on the windows box and using ant transfers the code to the Linux box.

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

Hello list, I''ve been developing a rails app using webrick as my server. I''m trying to change my server over to lighttpd as I am now attempting to deploy on a host that uses lighttpd. I had an older version of lighttpd installed and could never get it running correctly with my app. Preparing for deployment I decided to get lighty working and after poking around a bit I

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

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 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)

I have a problem with lighttpd on OSX. Everything builds fine (and webrick runs just fine) but lighttpd barfs: edward-kenworthys-computer:~/Development/Ruby/pricematic/trunk edward$ 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

I am having trouble uploading files through a form when using Apache (production) or Lighttpd (development). The odd thing is that when I force script/server to load Webrick, the upload works just fine on the same code-base. When it fails, the upload just sits there forever. Some browsers eventually return an error code, others spin for a long time... Anyway, it never recovers. The file is a

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

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 = (

I''ve been trying to add a basic file upload feature (just based on the Rails Recipes example), but I find that it only works with the webrick server and not my lighttpd 1.4.11 server. I''m running Rails 1.1.2 on OSX. The upload silently fails with both firefox and Safari, even with the useragent hack and with any size of file/image. My lighttpd config is pretty standard as

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

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 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

Hi, I have a Rails application sitting on my computer that works just fine with webrick. I would like to try to serve it locally with lighttpd I followed the instructions on the hivelogic site for installing lighttpd http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger Then I looked on page 457 in the Agile Rails book for instructions about configuring the rails app for

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
