Yesterday, our of nothing my server went down... Rails application failed to start properly Imediately i started checking my logs and found quickly that something was wrong with the dispatch.fcgi or its function. I use FCGI, and it had been working perfectly with Apache 2.0.55, MySQL 5.0, Ruby 1.8.2 and Rails 1.1.2. What really got me wondering was that I did nothing. One day it worked

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

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

Hi, While learning Ruby and Rails, I decided I just as well learn Linux along the way... It''s been fun, but I''m stuck at one of those exasperating moments... I hope someone can help me :) I installed Ruby 1.8.4 on Fedora Core 4, then Rails, then lighty, and then SCGI. I used yum to install lighty... and it already comes with mod_scgi. I created my first application in

I''ve run into a problem on one of my development machines. I''m trying to run multiple rails apps on one dev machine that runs Windows. Problem is that is seems that I can only run one scgi_service at a time, meaning that only one of my apps will function at a time. Anyone know how I can get around this, other than getting a *nix box (which I should have soon, hopefully) ?

I see that lighttpd 1.3.14 supports SCGI. lighttpd 1.3.14 - 2005-06-15 18:10 Changes ------- * added SCGI support via mod_scgi * added hash-based and round-robin load balancing to mod_proxy * fixed range requests larger than 2Gb * fixed compilation on Solaris * fixed endless loops in mod_fastcgi, mod_cgi and mod_proxy * fixed handling of URIs for ''+'' and

So I''m getting ready to setup a production environment on my boxen (running Fedora Core 3), what are my options? I''ve seen a number of posts about FastCGI, SCGI, etc. and am completely lost as to what I should be setting up on my box (that I hopefully won''t have to touch for a while). I need to run Collaboa, Typo and probably 3 or 4 other apps on this, so

Hi, So thanks to Zed I was able to get lighty/scgi and a Rails app running. I know this might not be the best place to post this, but I guessed there may be several others with similar experiences here. So, the following step is to have several apps each in its on subdirectory. I tried the following to no avail: $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/tango/" { server.document-root =

Why isnt the RoR community focusing on robust and scalable mod_perl style of Apache environment, rather then splintering all over the place with lighthttp, mongrel, WEBrick, SCGI, fcgi, etc??? Its frustrating as someone who is trying to migrate to RoR. Its very unlikely I would ever get a contract to work on any webserver except Apache, so it would seem logicaly to focus all our efforts to

Hi all, as part of adopting Rails in my company I had to go through the hassle of setting up a Rails production environment on Win32 system since we mostly use MS SQL as our database back end and also because we mostly dealing with customers who become green-blue-purple as soon as you mention Unix/Linux and run for the door. I also need to mention that most of our web applications are internal and

Hello happy Railers, I used to develop with a local out-of-the-box Apache and load times were pretty slow (like a few seconds each page). "Well, it''s the price to pay for no compile / cache / etc..." I thought. Nonsense. Yesterday I installed SCGI, and now I''ve got the best of both worlds: rails development env uses my very latest modifications, while SCGI ensures I

i had been trying for weeks to get fcgi to play right with apache. i finally got it working, but it''s far from stable. it was recommended to me that i should try using SCGI and that it is much easier to set up. being new to this stuff though, i''m not sure if there''s a lack of documentation or if there are some things that are just assumed and not known by a noob

two problems, pls help...I''m under big pressure at work to fix this! I''m having trouble getting scgi and lighttpd running on windows - here''s what I did: On Win XP, I installed ruby, rubygems, and setup my rails app. All works fine with webrick. I then did: gem install cmdparse and gem install highline (as required for the scgi_rails gem according to

This might be obvious to everyone but it is something that i haven''t been able to find an answer to. Do I need to have either scgi/fastcgi/cgi running on either lighttpd/apache for ruby scripts to work? If yes, why? I have installed the scgi server and i can get the service to run, i have also installed the following mod_fastcgi/2.4.2 mod_ruby/1.2.4 Ruby/1.8.2(2004-12-25) mod_scgi,

I have an app that I''ve been developing for some time with RADRails and WEBrick locally. I wanted to take it to Apache and following the following steps: 1) Downloaded and extracted InstantRails. 2) Started and tested cookbook with SCGI. Works great. 3) Copied my app over to rails_apps directory. 4) Added a virtual host to Apache identical to cookbook (just using port 9999 with

I have a webserver that''s happily running apache2 and PHP. I''d like to deploy a site that I wrote using RoR on that same server but read that there might be some conflicts with PHP and RoR trying to access the same MySQL database. How real are those conflicts? Could I mess up my running PHP site if I install mod_ruby and try to use Apache2? Would I be better off

Hi Everyone, I''m happy to announce the 0.2.0 release of Mongrel -- the fastest HTTP 1.1 library Ruby has yet. http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/ -- ruby docs lame page. http://rubyforge.org/projects/mongrel/ -- project page.

I''m trying to get an application running in a sub directory of a site using apache and scgi. The application runs fine with webrick. I have a site. Let''s call it "mysite.org". There is a variety of content on that site. I would like to add a rails application to that site. Let''s call the application "myapp". So we will have urls of the form
