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, 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

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)

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

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.

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 spent a few hours tonight getting Camping working with FastCGI on Dreamhost. I pieced together information from a blog post, an email thread, and the SiteFive page on the Camping wiki, and posted my working results in two places: Camping wiki - http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/camping/wiki/CampingOnDreamhost Dreamhost wiki - http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Camping Hopefully this helps somebody! --

My site was working fine earlier, but since the 1.1.5 upgrade at dreamhost it just hangs and hangs and then gives the "Application error, rails failed to load properly". Fastcgi was and still is enabled in the control panel. I had been using capistrano to deploy and it has been working well that way. The application works on my local box which has 1.1.6 running. I edited

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!")

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

I am trying to deploy a Rails application on Dreamhost. My application works just fine in my laptop using WEBrick. The problem that I have is that I currently have my website in the public folder. I can reference everything just fine from if it is in the public folder, but if I click in a link that is an actual controller/action I get an error that the file does not exist. I followed all

The location of my rails app is /home/username/webaddress.com Under that resides the app/, public/ and so on.

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 all, I''m trying to deploy my app to Dreamhost for production. I''ve managed to solve all of the Error 500s and it''s *almost* working. When I try and view a page, I get a TemplateError that I don''t get when I''m running from home using InstantRails under Windows. The error is: ActionView::TemplateError (undefined method `user?'' for

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.
