similar to: Lighttpd: username and groupname don''t take effect

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 all, I''m deploying my first rails app. I''m using lighty and fcgi, and cannot get the app to go into production mode. I deploy via Capistrano. When I dump ENV, RAILS_ENV is still ''development''. Is something overriding the lighty config? Here is the lighty config: var.appname = "mcalogin" server.port = 1411 server.modules =

Hi guys, I''m here again with a problem. I have a rails app called brewed. It''s located /home/user/brewed. My lighttpd.conf is located at /home/user/lighty. When I execute lighty on port 80 with: /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -f /home/user/lighty/lighttpd.conf rails seems to work fine. If I type www.mysite.com/main/index on my browser, the page comes out well. I have my files

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

Hello list, I''ve been developing a rails app using webrick as my server. I''m trying to change my server over to lighttpd as I am now attempting to deploy on a host that uses lighttpd. I had an older version of lighttpd installed and could never get it running correctly with my app. Preparing for deployment I decided to get lighty working and after poking around a bit I

Hello, I have an issue I am having trouble figuring out. I have a Rails app running through lighttpd which is accessed through an Apache proxy. My apache config: <location /rails/> ProxyPass http://localhost:81/ ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:81/ </location> RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/rails/(.*) http://localhost:81/$1 [P] So when apache sees /rails/ it

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,

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 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

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

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

Hello, I''ve checked out my rails tree from svn into the location I intend to run in production mode. However, I am unclear on what exactly needs to change for it to work in production mode. Yes I have: "bin-environment" => ("RAILS_ENV" => "production") When I switch to the externally routed IP address instead of 0.0.0.0:3000 and try running: %

Hopefully someone can help with a bit of lighttpd configuration for my production rails app in Mac OS X. I have an application which will be accessed by many different domains and IP addresses. Examples: http://crm.local/ http://localhost/ http://192.168.0.49/ http://65.256.120.90/ (fake, but you get the idea, an external Internet facing IP address) http://crm.mydomain.net/

Hi guys, I had mongrel_upload_progress working very sweetly on my dev machine, where mongrel was acting directly as the webserver. But when I went to production it stopped working. The Problem: On our production server we use Lighttpd, and it looks like lighty is buffering the whole upload and then giving it to Mongrel in a big chunk. This pretty much screws up the whole point of

I''m trying to implement the upload progress bar with lighttpd 1.4.11, and i''m seeing various posts (linked below) indicating that lighty doesn''t support it. sounds like they''re working on it, though. anyone have any idea what the current status of this is? or if there''s a workaround in the meanwhile? those posts:

[ERR][17968] Handling client: can''t convert nil into String Hi, We decided to go with SCGI + Lighttpd for Rails at our company and had no problems with the initial setup. Everything ran fine and was fast. However, problems occurred when we tried to rebuild Lighty with SSL capabilities. With this build, even with SSL off in the config file the application fails on the first request.

Hi I thought it was time to test my app out on a real server. So i have installed lighttpd following the instruction on the rails wiki. everything seems to work fine except the file upload page. It doesn''t throw any errors, it just doesn''t seem to write the image to disk. Nothing is printed to the lighttpd error log when the file upload fails. I thought it might be my code

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

Good evening (or afternoon or whatever it is where you are), Before I start setting it all up, I have a question about lighttpd and multiple rails apps. From what I have read, it is at the minute only possible to do multiple rails apps using subdomains: typo.mysite.com hieraki.mysite.com rforum.mysite.com etc, etc and not currently possible to do this: mysite.com/typo mysite.com/rforums
