similar to: RoR works with lighttpd, not Apache

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

This is really more of a web server configuration question, but it seemed like a problem in which RoR''ers would be well versed. I am running a RoR app on lighttpd behind an Apache proxy (well, reverse proxy is perhaps more accurate). Since the requests are being proxied to Lighttpd from the same server, my Rails apps think that the requests are coming from localhost. As such, anytime

I want to host a rails app at mydomain.com/railsapp. For technical reasons I have to leave mydomain.com on apache. This means that I need to tell apache to proxy only requests for mydomain.com/railsapp to lighttpd. I have deployed in a situation like this before around a year and a half ago but it was a real pain. Lighttpd and rails have matured a lot in the year and a half since I did

Hello. Since two days I am trying to set up two rails-apps on a vserver-host so that I can access from work ;-) I tried all I can imagine and what Google/MSN teached me: FastCGI, SCGI, Lighttpd, Apache, Alias, Vhosts,.... But nothing really works. I am on Debian 3.1 with Ruby 1.8.4, Rails 1.1.2, FastCGI 2.4.0, mod_fastcgi 2.4.2, ruby_fcgi 0.8.6, ruby_gems 0.8.11, Apache 2.0.54, Lighttpd

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

Hello, I''m having a serious problem proxying from Apache (2.2) to local Lighttpd servers. I need this to run Rails instances on www.mysite.com/rails next to the regular part from www.mysite.com. Currently I get a working www.mysite.com/rails for only the first page, controllers do not work. I am quite desperate in getting this to work as it is the only way I can run Rails at our

Hi, everyone, I''m currently running a Rails 1.0 project using lighttpd-1.4.9 behind Apache 2 on RHEL 3. My fcgi process (I''m only using one right now) always hangs after some time, which is something I haven''t experienced before (e.g., I''ve run this same app. on a TextDrive account and it works fine there). So ... any ideas on what could be causing this?

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''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

This might not be a mongrel question so much as an IIS question, and if so, my apologies. I''m needing to switch a (ASP.NET) web application that''s running behind a firewall appliance on IIS on port 8443 under SSL to a rails web application -- a mongrel instance (and perhaps later apache or lighttpd with new mod_core_prox in front of mongrel) on a different server. I remember

I am running RHEL 4.4 and CentOS 4.4, I dont run Apache only Lighttpd. How do I compile php from php.srpm without apache support? Well I have been compiling php from srpm like this forever rpmbuild -ba --target=i686 php.spec But today it somehow bugged me, I dont use apache on this server. But its asking me to install httpd and httpd-devel to compile. Isnt there a syntax to skip the apache

Can someone point me to a tutorial or web example of doing this ... I want to have a site that is normally pure content served via Apache and I want to set up a Rails app on the same box that is served via lighttpd. Now I want the Apache site to be able to retrieve formatted pages for MySQL database queries by the Rails app. I will also be using ActionMailer under the Rails app. How can I

I am having trouble uploading files through a form when using Apache (production) or Lighttpd (development). The odd thing is that when I force script/server to load Webrick, the upload works just fine on the same code-base. When it fails, the upload just sits there forever. Some browsers eventually return an error code, others spin for a long time... Anyway, it never recovers. The file is a

I''m trying to get Lighttpd started, and understand how it works (not quite there yet with Ror). Some questions: 1) Can I run Lighttpd as a main server instead of Apache2? 2) When hosting different RoR projetcs, will there be one server for each? Or is it one server running all? 2) Can it do everything Apache can? Like PHP, webdav, etc? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am going through the process of transferring my MVC skills from Java and LAMP to RoR. If someone wanted beocme master/expert at both FastCGI and SCGI what would be the setup on windows XP? My thinking is to use: -XAMPP+SCGI on c drive -WAMP+FastCGI on f drive -lighttpd +SCGI or FastCGI and bind different servers to different IPs as I can set IPs via loopback interface to my networkcard.

Fyi, here''s a write-up I just posted on deploying Rails with Mongrel(s) behind Pound: http://blog.tupleshop.com/articles/2006/07/08/deploying-rails-with- pound-in-front-of-mongrel-lighttpd-and-apache Rob

I''ve been using a homegrown system to do billing for my site. Right now I want to add a couple things, but I''m not sure I want to actually have to work on this billing system. Seems like it''d make a lot more sense to just use an existing package like ModernBill [1]. I''ve never used PHP on lighttpd, never needed to. Not sure if MB can run on it, or how well

Okay, I have tested mounting several of my apps under Lighttpd and Apache, both running FastCGI. I''m going to explain the configuration, but first: update. gem install camping --source code.whytheluckstiff.net == Mounting Root for Lighttpd+FastCGI == server.port = 3045 server.bind = "192.168.0.103" server.modules = (

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

160,000 pages 99% static, only minor stuff done in rail (search, contact us, etc.) windows server 2003 Ror 1.0 Currently 30K Hits /day on IIS. Apache or Lighttp? Fast_CGI seems kinda slow with a 2003/Apache configuration. The only thing I''ll get rid of for sure is IIS. -Cedric -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
