similar to: Missing Content-Length header with lighttpd

I''m running lighttpd + fastcgi + rails Say that the lighttpd root directory is the rails application /public directory. I''m just curious. If theres a file in the document root with the same name as a controller, does the file get served first? How does that work? Does lighttpd check the root directory first to see if the file exists- If not, it calls dispatch.fcgi? I want to

Hello everyone, I?ve been working with Ruby on Rails for about 2 months now and have really enjoyed the ease of use of it. I?m only been doing development on it so I?ve been using WeBrick. Recently, I have built a server running Debian Linux, with ruby 1.8.2, rails 1.0.0, lighty 1.4.3, and Mysql 5.0.18. I used WeBrick to generate a lighttpd.conf file for me, I changed the paths in the

Hi guys, I''ve been chasing a problem in my web-stack: Lighttpd -> Mongrel -> Rails, and found a problem with the interaction of Lighttpd and Mongrel. If a request takes more than 5 seconds, Lighty will retry it - and then the requests / responses get mixed up in Lighty and it returns a bad response to the client. Not good. I''m convinced that the problem is

Has anyone been able to get script/server to successfully use lighttpd on a Windows box? When I try to start the server I get: PROBLEM: Lighttpd is not available on your system (or not in your path) So then I add "C:\lighttpd\sbin" to the path for the console session, and it still fails with the same error. If anyone has some success with this I sure would like to know. Webrick

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

I just got a new Debian Sarge server and followed the brainspl.at "Debian Lighttpd Rails Stack" tutorial. The only place I deviated was the version of Lighty. The page uses 1.4.7 and I spotted that 1.4.10 was available. I installed that and couldn''t get anywhere. Lighty died on first access from the test rails app, and even from a ultra basic static config. No log,

I have an existing rails application on lighttpd and I am trrying to upgrade to mongrel for the enhanced scalability it offers. I am running mongrel 1.1.1, rails 1.2.5, lighttpd 1.4.13 and ruby 1.8.5 Everything is working great except request.remote_ip returns 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.0.102 (the internal network address of the server running lighty). I''ve seen some older posts about

Hi, I''m new to Rails and was trying out the tutorial that they give on the apple website http://developer.apple.com/tools/rubyonrails.html I installed everything including lighttpd, and I got up to the point where I want to create my first record. When I hit the ''create'' button, lighttpd quits. If I have the server running as a foreground process I get this message

Hi all, I just updated lighttpd from 1.4.8 to 1.4.9 and it now refuses to start with the following error: 2006-01-24 23:12:24: (mod_fastcgi.c.989) execve failed for: public/ dispatch.fcgi No such file or directory 2006-01-24 23:12:24: (mod_fastcgi.c.1015) the fastcgi-backend public/ dispatch.fcgi failed to start: 2006-01-24 23:12:24: (mod_fastcgi.c.1019) child exited with status 2

i used the hivelogic article to install ruby on rails to my mac: http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger everything works great using the script/server command, but isn''t that still using WEBrick? how do i server my apps with lightTPD? i tried following the instructions given here: http://duncandavidson.com/essay/2005/12/railsonlighty but have had no

I am wanting to one run instance of lighttpd, many many instances of mongrel. I also need ssl but only for one of my sites. I understand that Mongrel does not play with SSL so I am forced to use Lighttpd. I think that lighttpd only handles ssl or non-ssl on any given instance. Is there a way for me to accomplish my goal of one lighttpd with multiple mongrels and the occasional ssl connection? --

I have my code working on my local machine no problem, but when I upload to the server the RJS effects I have aren''t working. The server is running Ubuntu Dapper w/ lighttpd while on my local machine I''m using webrick. For kicks I shut down lightty and booted my app on the server with webrick and it works fine. So it''s definitely a lightty issue. Anyone else seen

I''m using Mac OS X, I installed Ruby/Rails/lighttpd/etc via the instructions from hivelogic. I think I''ve found a bug with EdgeRails, but I''m not sure how to submit it (and maybe I''m doing something wrong and someone can just point me in the right direction). Anyway I thought I''d report it just in case it is a bug. I''ve downloaded

Hi everybody I am trying to get RoR to work with lighttpd. Nearly there, but I am stuck with a strange phenomenon. If I configure lighttpd to serve pages on say port 2000, I can get at my testapp fine and see the "Welcome aboard" page. However, if I configure lighttpd to use port 80, I get a download prompt from my browser. If I access my URI like

I''ve got switchtower set up, and it seems to work fine except for one problem: It doesn''t successfully restart lighttpd. I have the following task in my deploy.rb file: desc "Restart the web server" task :restart, :roles => :app do sudo "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/lighttpd.sh restart" end This is on a FreeBSD system, so it''s using the rc script to

I know that Mongrel is a web server that hosts rails applications. But i don''t understand what part Lighttpd (or Apache) has in the setup. I know that you can use Mongrel on its own. What does Lighttpd improve on? Thanks, Chris -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''ve managed to get Rails working using Apache->Lighttpd->SCGI. Restarting everything is really difficult. This appears to be the process: - stop apache - stop lighttpd - stop scgi - make sure scgi still isn''t running (it sometimes does) - if it is, kill it - delete all session files (they often cause permission errors) - start scgi - start apache - start lighttpd - cross

In case this helps anyone I recently finished setting up a Debian server closely following Ezra''s excellent guidance @ http://brainspl.at/rails_stack.html. I used newer libraries in some cases (and mysql 5.0) and everything worked great until the end when lighttpd wouldn''t start. I finally figured out that Lighty 1.4.9 has a problem working with rails out-of-the-box. See

I know this is kind of a generic question. But, when hitting my lighttpd/rails site on some of the first hits, the site hangs. I think it has something with the lighttpd configuration, possibly something I am missing with rails or ruby? Any ideas or how to track this down. fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" => ( "0.0.0.0" => ( "socket" =>

i have a very simple lighttpd config that just forwards with mod_proxy some requests to different hosts lixe this: server.modules = ( "mod_proxy", "mod_rewrite" ) server.port = 80 server.pid-file = "/var/run/lighttpd.pid" server.errorlog = "/var/log/lighttpd-err.log" server.document-root = "/var/www/htdocs/"
