So I decided to just go with apache2 and fcgid. I looked into Mongrel and apache and I looked into lighttpd and fastcgi and found both to be too time consuming and not well enough documented for what I''m doing. My question is, how do I set up apache and fcgid to actually work? I got apache installed. I think I got fcgid installed (I read somewhere all I have to do is move the

Hi There, Every now and then, and recently more and more we get a "503 server temporarily unavailable" error from our rails app. We are running Rails 1.0 with mod_fcgid in Apache 2.0.54 on Debian The thing is I don''t think we have such a heavy load on the server, and I haven''t seen this error occur at all outside the rails app. In fact I don''t think I ever

Hello, I try to install on my ubuntu ruby on rails server. I have install ruby,rails,gem and all files but doesn''t work. When i run the server with webrick works perfect but when i use apache i get this message: We''re sorry, but something went wrong. We''ve been notified about this issue and we''ll take a look at it shortly. Here are my installed app versions:

I''m having the same problems as this fellow, Mr. Cheetham, in getting my rails app up and running on apache2+fcgid. Webrick runs, but dispatch.fcgi never actually runs, and apache spits out a grusome "Premature end of script headers: dispatch.cgi" error message in the log. Mr. Cheetham describes his problem at http://www.archivesat.com/Typo_blogging_engine/thread164398.htm I

Hi, I just installed mod_fcgid on my apache2 server. When I try to load my application I get an "Application error - Rails application failed ..." message. In my Apache2 error-log it says: Premature end of script headers dispatch.fcgi mod_fcgid process /data/www/app/dispacth.fcgi exit (communication error), terminated by calling exit(), return code 1 Any help with this would be

All, I have run into a road block with my RoR project. The app works fine without SSL but when I try to upload a file with the site running in HTTPS, cgi.rb throws an EOFError: [13/Mar/2006:23:05:48 :: 22982] Dispatcher failed to catch: bad content body (EOFError) /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/cgi.rb:981:in `read_multipart?

I''m having trouble with running my app under fcgid. I am getting errors in my Apache log. It seems that it is choking on the gems replacement for require. The relevant lines from /var/log/apache2/error.log: /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require__'': no such file to load -- initializer (LoadError) from

Hello! I want to use the same application in two environments (production and development) on the same server (apache2 with fcgid) in different (aliased) directories. Is there a way to specify RAILS_ENV inside my <Directory> directives? I have the line DefaultInitEnv RAILS_ENV production in my httpd.conf but I want one of the directories to be development. Setting the ENV var directly in

Hi, I''m trying to get rails running on Debian stable with Apache 2, mod_fcgid, Rails 1.0. The application works fine with webrick (*). Let''s start here: @eugene [/var/www/ls2/linuxsi/public] $ ./dispatch.fcgi Status: 500 Internal Server Error Seems to result in the following in the log files: [12/Feb/2006:12:18:40 :: 4105] starting [12/Feb/2006:12:18:40 :: 4105] terminated

I am trying to determine (from people''s experience here) if there is a benefit to proxying apache -> lighttpd -> rails instead of just using apache mod_fcgid -> rails. I am having some concerns of the stability of the fcgid apache modules as well as the incredibly painful first connect issue with apache mod_fcgid. Is the lighttpd fcgi more stable and mature than apache ? Is

hi there, I''m running rails on apache2 with mod_fcgid which works, but I''m having trouble with environments adn separate dev & prodution vhosts. I have DefaultInitEnv set in the VirtualHost directive for each (as production | development), which works fine after a server restart for whichever vhost I hit first, but thereafter the RAILS_ENV seems to be locked into one

Hello, I''ve been going though the "4 Days on Rails" tutorial at http://rails.homelinux.org/ test-driving ruby on rails using the WEBrick server without problems. I''m trying to move the app to be seen by apache2, and am having some troubles. I''ve looked through many guides online which all say pretty much the same thing, which, I think, I am doing.

Or maybe I crash it and don''t know why. Here is the setup: I have an action that will crash my debian sarge development box using fcgid, fastcgi and scgi running with Apache2, as well as fastcgi running with lighttpd, every time. Here is the action from the controller: ------------------- def crashme @orders = Order.find(:all, :order => "`id` ASC", :offset

I was getting some "application failed to start properly" pages, but production.log was not showing anything. Looking closer I''ve noticed that server_error.log (the apache log) was giving lines like: "malformed header from script. Bad header=<html>: dispatch.fcgi, referer:" I was able to determine the cause, and that was that some pages were starting with a space

Hi, There''s lots of stuff going on currently with choices of production deployment environments. But I''m not clear on a few things as I need to decide on a production setup where Apache is a given. A recent thread (http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/56590) seemed to favor Apache 2 with mod_fcgid. And this is supported in articles such as:

I developed an application using Rails and the WeBrick, and now I''ve moved it to the production server using apache/fcgid. Now, however, post data is not being populated in the params hash. Even a simple form with one hidden field, which works fine as a GET request, does not work using POST. The problem isn''t with the form, as I''ve posted the data to a simple php

Hello, I''m trying to switch to FastCGI. With CGI everything works, but after have done all the steps of the wiki here (http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/RailsOnUbuntuDebianTestingAndUnstable) My application started to give me "Error 500" Looking at the Apache logs I can see : [notice] mod_fcgid: server /rails/public/dispatch.fcgi(6127) started

Hi, I am just installing a new test environment, but this is just for preparing the next one, which will be a production server. I am doing a clean Debian Sarge 3.1 install with stable sources. I have to decide if I install Apache 1.x or 2 now. I have read that FastCGI is better supported/developed for Apache 1.x. Is this (still) true? What is easier, more stable, etc? I want to run rails

Hi, I have quite a problem right now. After finish of development I installed rails with fcgi and apache on my production env. Everything seems to be configured ok, but once I while I get the famous error message: " Premature end of script headers: dispatch.fcgi" I cant see any generel configuration problem, as sometimes everything is running fine. Maybe it is a problem related to
