With the release of our filmfury.com project, I''ve been trying to rise to the stature of a true system administrator in the last couple of days (haha). I''m trying to understand how all of the pieces to this apache/fastcgi deployment fit together. Here''s what I''ve learned so far: * You need a separate FastCGI server for each Rails application on your

Been trying to deploy my rails app on Redhat ES3, Apache2, FastCGI with Plesk all day. Fun stuff. Basically, the issue that I can not solve has to do with access to /public. None of my images, javascripts, etc. are working in the app. Trying to access any of these results in a 404 (or routing error if in developer mode). Oddly, the 404 file it displays is -- you guessed it -- in fact *in*

I followed this tutorial on the rails wiki about how to get apache with fastcgi working on a vps machine: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoInstallAndRunRubyOnRailsOnCpanel In the tutorial it said to add this to the httpd.conf file to get fastcgi working. <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> FastCgiIpcDir /tmp/fcgi_ipc/ AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi </IfModule> However

Finally got fcgi installed with apache. Now whe I click on "About your application''s environment" on the Rails Welcome page, it simply prints out the dispatch.fcgi script as shown below. I would appreciate any help I can get on this. I can provide other infomation if necessary. #!/usr/local/bin/ruby # # You may specify the path to the FastCGI crash log (a log of unhandled #

I have a problem deploying FastCGI for use with RoR. OS: FreeBSD 5.4 Apache: 2.0.55 FastCGI: 2.4.2 ###### I compiled a new mod_fastcgi.so and copied it to /usr/lib/apache/mod_fastcgi.so ###### My httpd.conf looks like this: LoadModule fastcgi_module /usr/lib/apache/mod_fastcgi.so <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi </IfModule> ###### The testscript

I have been attempting for days to configure Apache for Rails. I have read forums, followed How-To''s all in vain. I am hoping someone can help me out. I am getting the Rails Welcome screen, but when trying to go to any other url, I get the 500.html message. Take a look for yourself at http://66.139.78.237 and click on "about your application''s environment".

I recently setup a subdomain to run my app as a staging site before pushing changes to the main site. So i setup a subdomain in cpanel, symlinked that the directory to point to a staging directory where i check''d out my rails app. However, when i go to staging.railsapp.com, it times out and says application failed to start properly. I''m not sure what is causing this, but

Hi, i''m wondering how to setup a staging site for my RoR app. Right now i run webrick on my laptop to develop, then i svn commit my changes to the production server. However i need to make my development environment available to others and not just for me on my laptop. I have RoR setup on a hosted vps server which runs in production environment. Its on apache 1.3 and mysql. How can i

We''re trying to run Ruby on Rails on Debian with Apache and FastCGI, but can''t get it to work. As far as we can tell, it seems to go wrong in the final stages; Apache appears not to be doing anything with dispatch.fcgi, even though FastCGI looks to be set up correctly. We''ve followed several "how to"s, but we don''t get any other results. What

hello, I have a server running apache-1.3 with mod_fastcgi that''s happily running a rails application. Life is good ;) I would like to setup another application (vhost) on the same server.. How to do ? My httpd.conf says: <snip> # fastcgi <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> FastCgiIpcDir /tmp/fgci_ipc AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi FastCgiServer

Trying to install rails/fcgi/apache2. Following these instructions: http://xmlareas.com/ruby-rails-howto.html Using Fedora Core 4. I installed ruby and ruby-devel using apt-get. Everything under Adding FastCGI (optional) works fine up to the gem install fcgi part. Here is what happens: [root@paulbarry fcgi-2.4.0]# gem install fcgi -r -- -with-fcgi-lib=/usr/local/fcgi/lib

I''m trying to get my Ruby on Rails application to work under Apache. It works fine when run as WEBrick ("ruby script/server"). As suggested in http://www.ocssolutions.com/support/ruby/troubleshooting-ruby-on-rails.php , I tried running dispatch.fcgi on the command line. When I run it, no matter where I run it, it outputs: 500 Internal Server Error Both the #! (shebang)

I''m running rails on RedHat ES3 managed by Plesk with Apache/FastCGI. I''ve followed the directions here: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoInstallAndRunRubyOnRailsOnPlesk And got everything working, but my application refuses to run in Production mode. It runs in development mode despite the fact that I''ve set: FastCgiServer

I am running apache with mod_fastcgi on Linux - I would like to run my app in production mode, but I could not. Following is what I have in my httpd.conf. Can someone tell me why it does not recognize the env variable for production? The app always runs under development mode i.e ignores the RAILS_ENV directive. thanks/ thila. <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> FastCgiIpcDir /tmp/fcgi_ipc/

I have an application that works fine in development mode under plain old CGI and I''m trying to get it running under FCGI with multiple hours of frustration. Lately, I am running dispatch.fcgi standalone from the command line. It gives me a not very helpful one line error message; Status: 500 Internal Server Error The log file produces a not very helpful 2 line message;

I''d like to run the FastCGI as a different user than the Apache2 server (www-data on Debian). I take it this is possible in some way with suExec2, but so far I haven''t figured out how to do it.

Running on Fedora Core I have been playing with some of the tutorials and one of them had me install lighttpd and lighttpd-fastcgi and that was much faster than apache seems to be.
