similar to: apache/lighttpd or apache with fcgid

So I decided to just go with apache2 and fcgid. I looked into Mongrel and apache and I looked into lighttpd and fastcgi and found both to be too time consuming and not well enough documented for what I''m doing. My question is, how do I set up apache and fcgid to actually work? I got apache installed. I think I got fcgid installed (I read somewhere all I have to do is move the

Hi, I''m trying to get rails running on Debian stable with Apache 2, mod_fcgid, Rails 1.0. The application works fine with webrick (*). Let''s start here: @eugene [/var/www/ls2/linuxsi/public] $ ./dispatch.fcgi Status: 500 Internal Server Error Seems to result in the following in the log files: [12/Feb/2006:12:18:40 :: 4105] starting [12/Feb/2006:12:18:40 :: 4105] terminated

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 TRY TO CONFIGURE APACHE FOR RUBY ON RAILS ON UNIX. BY THE FOLLOWING WAYl: Install FastCGI 1. wget http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/fcgi-2.4.0.tar.gz 2. gunzip fcgi-2.4.0.tar.gz 3. tar -xvf fcgi-2.4.0.tar 4. cd fcgi-2.4.0 5. ./configure 6. make 7. make install 8. cd ../ Install mod_fcgid 1. cd ~ 2. wget http://fastcgi.coremail.cn/mod_fcgid.1.09.tar.gz 3. gunzip

I''m having the same problems as this fellow, Mr. Cheetham, in getting my rails app up and running on apache2+fcgid. Webrick runs, but dispatch.fcgi never actually runs, and apache spits out a grusome "Premature end of script headers: dispatch.cgi" error message in the log. Mr. Cheetham describes his problem at http://www.archivesat.com/Typo_blogging_engine/thread164398.htm I

Hi, I have quite a problem right now. After finish of development I installed rails with fcgi and apache on my production env. Everything seems to be configured ok, but once I while I get the famous error message: " Premature end of script headers: dispatch.fcgi" I cant see any generel configuration problem, as sometimes everything is running fine. Maybe it is a problem related to

I''m having trouble with running my app under fcgid. I am getting errors in my Apache log. It seems that it is choking on the gems replacement for require. The relevant lines from /var/log/apache2/error.log: /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require__'': no such file to load -- initializer (LoadError) from

Hi, Have been pulling out my hair for the last few days wondering what I''m going to deploy my site onto. I currently have FreeBSD 4.7, Apache 1.3.3, PHP 4 and MySQL 4 running a year-old PHP site. Dated stuff I know! The new version of the site will be entirely Ruby on Rails, and I am wondering what order I should be doing things in terms of upgrades and installation. I want to be

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 there, I''m running rails on apache2 with mod_fcgid which works, but I''m having trouble with environments adn separate dev & prodution vhosts. I have DefaultInitEnv set in the VirtualHost directive for each (as production | development), which works fine after a server restart for whichever vhost I hit first, but thereafter the RAILS_ENV seems to be locked into one

Hi, There''s lots of stuff going on currently with choices of production deployment environments. But I''m not clear on a few things as I need to decide on a production setup where Apache is a given. A recent thread (http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/56590) seemed to favor Apache 2 with mod_fcgid. And this is supported in articles such as:

Hello, I try to install on my ubuntu ruby on rails server. I have install ruby,rails,gem and all files but doesn''t work. When i run the server with webrick works perfect but when i use apache i get this message: We''re sorry, but something went wrong. We''ve been notified about this issue and we''ll take a look at it shortly. Here are my installed app versions:

Hello everybody. I know, I know, another post about Apache 2, but I have looked a lot on the internet and I haven''t found the answer to my problem. I have a Linux Fedora Core 5 box, with Apache 2.2.2 (compiled and installed), Ruby 1.8.4 (compiled and installed), RubyGems 0.8.11 (compiled and installed) and Rails... I don''t know what version as this one I haven installed

Hello, I have a gentoo system that I am trying to remotely develop rails applications on using apache and fcgi. I created the simple hello world example from Dave Thomas'' book to test the system and I receive an "application error" when I try to go to the page. I can startup webrick and use links to view the page just fine, but nothing doing through apache. I have

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

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''m running a rails app on FedoraCore4 and so far have been using lighttpd and fastcgi. I''ve decided to switch to apache because lighttpd has been far too unstable, unpredictable, and slow. I don''t know if it''s lighttpd or the combination of lighttpd and fastcgi but it''s just not working for me. I need something that has been proven to work and

I''m trying to understand how the lighttpd/fcgi/rails process works. It seems like there are two ways to start lighttpd for: 1. script/server (only starts lighttpd if you have lighttpd in your $PATH, otherwise starts webrick) 2. lighttpd -f /path/to/lighttpd.conf It seems like #1 is for development and #2 is for production, but I don''t actually know what the difference

I have posted this before with not much response so I am posing the question again. Is there a solution for this very apparent issue with mod_fcgid that the "First connection is incredibly slow". It seems its b/c mod_fcgid doesnt keep at least 1 persistent connection around that this first connection needs to start up and then every other request is fast. Is there a solution to this?

I was getting some "application failed to start properly" pages, but production.log was not showing anything. Looking closer I''ve noticed that server_error.log (the apache log) was giving lines like: "malformed header from script. Bad header=<html>: dispatch.fcgi, referer:" I was able to determine the cause, and that was that some pages were starting with a space
