similar to: Apache2, FCGI, 500 errors?

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''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''ve gone through all the ''gotchas'' and troubleshooting docs at Dreamhost and the rails wiki to no avail.

Hey Folks, I''m deploying a camping app on an internal Apache2 + FastCGI server at my office. Of course, on my Mac it works great, but I can''t get things to work with Apache and FCGI. I''ve followed the directions on why''s page documenting how to do this, but I''m getting the following error in my Apache error.log file: FastCGI: (dynamic) server

Im trying to get a new app up on dreamhost. What fun :/ Id like to try out the ''frao_handler'' which just keeps dreamhost from automatically killing my fcgi processes. But Im also worried about things getting out of hand. I seem to remember that captures in views can cause problems with fcgi (I might just be making that up????), and I do have few in my app. And well Im

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]

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

Hi all, I am having problems with FCGI and Apache2 on windows. The error I often receive is 500 error code response with logs listed down. I successfully use Webrick server and CGI (very slow). I had configured apache as is described in these document: http://dema.ruby.com.br/articles/2005/08/23/taming-fastcgi-apache2-on-windows. Any suggestions? Logs: > Errno::E232 (The pipe is being

Once again with feeling... Environment is Suse 9 + Apache2 + fcgi + oracle + rail 0.14 + ruby 1.8.

hi all, I can blab, but here is a sample of my /var/log/apache2/error.log, it has all the info: any ideas what I can do prevent 500s from hitting my users? (besides redirecting them with javascript to the same URL which will be fine on the next request? :) thanks, _alex [Fri Jun 24 12:30:45 2005] [error] [client 172.20.0.175] FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from

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 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?

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)

I have an application that works fine in development mode under plain old CGI and I''m trying to get it running under FCGI with multiple hours of frustration. Lately, I am running dispatch.fcgi standalone from the command line. It gives me a not very helpful one line error message; Status: 500 Internal Server Error The log file produces a not very helpful 2 line message;

Hello! I am testing rails on DreamHost. I believe it''s running on apache. In development mode, it ran very slowly. So I changed it into production mode and switched to fcgi. It''s very fast now. But the problem is that if I add actions to a controller, it''s not applied. I know that in production mode, I need to restart web server. But I don''t control the web

Hi all. There is an issue with Rails, FastCGI and Apache2 on Debian that I''ve been dealing with since I started Rails development in late 2005. I''ve developed various workarounds but have not been able to solve the problem at the root. Every so often, for reasons I''ve never been able to determine, a load of dispatch.fcgi processes get spawned and take over my whole

If anyone here is using Apache and fcgi with an external fcgi server, would you mind sharing your relevant setup details (httpd.conf, how you start the external servers, anything else)? The more specific the better. It would be greatly appreciated!!

Finally got fcgi installed with apache. Now whe I click on "About your application''s environment" on the Rails Welcome page, it simply prints out the dispatch.fcgi script as shown below. I would appreciate any help I can get on this. I can provide other infomation if necessary. #!/usr/local/bin/ruby # # You may specify the path to the FastCGI crash log (a log of unhandled #

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.
