similar to: Mod_fcgid question: is this normal?

Hi, I just installed mod_fcgid on my apache2 server. When I try to load my application I get an "Application error - Rails application failed ..." message. In my Apache2 error-log it says: Premature end of script headers dispatch.fcgi mod_fcgid process /data/www/app/dispacth.fcgi exit (communication error), terminated by calling exit(), return code 1 Any help with this would be

Hi, I run a small web hosting company. We host a few Rails applications using Apache 2.2 and mod_fcgid. I have been experimenting with Mongrel and mod_proxy. But I can''t seem to figure out how to host multiple Rails - apps with mongrel. Do I have to start a new Mongrel process for every virtual host on a different port? Any help would be great.

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, 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

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 all. There is an issue with Rails, FastCGI and Apache2 on Debian that I''ve been dealing with since I started Rails development in late 2005. I''ve developed various workarounds but have not been able to solve the problem at the root. Every so often, for reasons I''ve never been able to determine, a load of dispatch.fcgi processes get spawned and take over my whole

I''ve got a RoR app that will be going to production soon (in the next month or so) and would like to get some feedback on what kind of web server setup people have had good luck with. I''m looking for something that is: 1. Stable 2. Easy to setup 3. Secure (sorry but Windows is ruled out here) My deployment will either be on Fedora Core 5 or possible Mac OS X Server.

I am trying to set up rails and am have problems. I have googled everything I could think of, but have not found my problem. Here are my specs. Gentoo Linux 2006.0 Apache 2.2 Ruby 1.8.4 Gems 1.8 Rails 1.1.2 mod_fcgid 1.08 When I try to access my test rails app through the webserver, I get the following error in the error.log (after seeing a html 500 error on the page).

I have a running Rails application that uploads files back to the server occasionally. I recently switched my development machine from a Linux box to OS X 10.5, using the Apache server built-in on OS X and mod_fcgid. I thought everything was fine until I recently tried to use the file upload feature. If I specify a reasonable sized (164 Kb) file for upload then I get an immediate error, before my

Hi There, Every now and then, and recently more and more we get a "503 server temporarily unavailable" error from our rails app. We are running Rails 1.0 with mod_fcgid in Apache 2.0.54 on Debian The thing is I don''t think we have such a heavy load on the server, and I haven''t seen this error occur at all outside the rails app. In fact I don''t think I ever

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

I''m having tons of problems with fcgi on apache2. The app didn''t crash over the weekend when it wasn''t used. I ran it this morning and it was fine. It''s an inhouse app so it wasn''t used for 3 days over the weekend. It did however crash today. Does this sound like a bad fcgi setup or just a very buggy fcgi/Apache combo? Charlie Bowman

Hi, I''m really new to RoR and I''m trying to setup a development or even production server for Ruby on Rails. I''m trying to do it on Linux Debian, but somehow, I always get this Error: Application Error - Rails application failed to start properly This was running on Debian Linux, Apache2, Mysql and FastCGI. The Tutorial I used:

I''m looking to do something similar to the "secret URLs" in Rails Recipes, however, with file downloads. I want to avoid providing direct URLs to people if possible. I have files on disk in public/, so it would be good if each user got a "unique" URL to each file that they are permitted to see (dealt with by a user_id/file_id table). Then they are only allowed

Hello all. Time for an all night installation campfire (no pun intended) story. I just helped a customer migrate from a single box to a 5 box system. 2 Lighty 2 FCGI 1 DB Everything went quite well. I scripted everything so it would be easy to add more boxes in the future. 3 scripts, one for each box type above. Then came time to get the site working. :-) Lighty came up easily. The DB came up

Hi All, has anyone ever seen it when they vist the URL in the applicaion that it just tries to download the FCGI dispatch file?

Hello, I''m trying to switch to FastCGI. With CGI everything works, but after have done all the steps of the wiki here (http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/RailsOnUbuntuDebianTestingAndUnstable) My application started to give me "Error 500" Looking at the Apache logs I can see : [notice] mod_fcgid: server /rails/public/dispatch.fcgi(6127) started

Hello there, So I''m still struggling with this fastcgi stuff.
