similar to: 404 Error on dispatch.fcgi

Sorry to trouble the list with another Dreamhost problem, but looking through the archives I see nothing that can solve my problem. I have installed my app as per http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/Ruby_on_Rails#Quick_Start_Guide_August_2006 with a symbolic link from my_domain.tld in ~/ to ~/apps/residence/public/ I get the Rails welcome screen. I have uploaded my app directory etc, and

I''m thinking about signing up with DreamHost for the base Level 1 $9.95 plan. Does anyone think that''s a bad idea? I''d like to know others thoughts, and who they recommend for RoR hosting? Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Does anyone have any experience with production deployment of RoR on Dreamhost? Is it now stable enough? Any tips and tricks? Thanks a lot, Tom

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 am running a RoR application on Apache 1.3/RedHat 7.3/MySQL 3.1.23 (Old versions I know, but upgrading to latest versions are not practical for a number of reasons). There are 5 RoR FastCGI processes configured using FastCgiServer. What I am finding is that, after a while, some of the FastCGI processes seem to ''hang''. They no longer process requests, and the only way to

Hi, I''m running RoR and have set it up more or less like described in the wiki (for instance here http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/LighttpdWithProcessScripts). I can start the fcgi listener and see that ports 7000-7004 are listening. I can start lighttpd, and try to connect to the server. I can restart the default.fcgi listening scripts that i see in "ps ax | grep

I am trying to deploy a Rails application on Dreamhost. My application works just fine in my laptop using WEBrick. The problem that I have is that I currently have my website in the public folder. I can reference everything just fine from if it is in the public folder, but if I click in a link that is an actual controller/action I get an error that the file does not exist. I followed all

I''m a newbie trying to setup lighttpd. It is failing with error 500. I tried running dispatch.fcgi by hand and I''m getting: # ./dispatch.fcgi /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:200:in `const_missing'': uninitialized constant RailsFCGIHandler (NameError) from ./dispatch.fcgi:24 Not sure how to proceed from here.

I''m really lost on this issue. Do I need to reinstall rails / gems? The rest of my rails setup seems to be working. I just can''t run dispatch.fcgi. (Details in original message below). I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. I''m not even positive it is supposed to be runnable from the command line. I found a troubleshooting guide that implied it was supposed to

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''m trying to setup an app on Dreamhost and running into no end of problems. The app is running with edge rails and I''m currently getting the dreaded ''Rails application failed to start'' white screen when trying to access it. I''ve gone through all the ''gotchas'' and troubleshooting docs at Dreamhost and the rails wiki to no avail.

Currently I am not getting much traffic on my site, when I visit my site after a long interval I get the dreaded "Rails application error" in Mozilla/ "Internal server error" in IE.Once I click refresh then the site comes to life. My guess is this is due to the fact that all FCGI process have died and there are no active listeners. Has anyone else experienced this issue. How

Hi, I''ve generated a new Rails app and dummy controller "foo" with method "hello". I am trying to run it under Apache/2.0.53 with fastcgi, and getting the index.html page when I hit http://localhost/foo/hello, or for any other request (http://localhost/kdjfslkfjs). Also, there is nothing in the rails logs, and no errors in the apache logs. Relevant bit of

I need to be able to restart my server based on a specific database change. I''ve been trying a call to system("script/process/reaper -a graceful -d dispatch.fcgi") but that raises a transaction error which rolls back the save. I wasn''t aware that after_save would rollback. That''s potentially useful but pretty much not right now. Here''s my code: def

Yesterday, our of nothing my server went down... Rails application failed to start properly Imediately i started checking my logs and found quickly that something was wrong with the dispatch.fcgi or its function. I use FCGI, and it had been working perfectly with Apache 2.0.55, MySQL 5.0, Ruby 1.8.2 and Rails 1.1.2. What really got me wondering was that I did nothing. One day it worked

Hi, I have an application completed that was built with RoR on windows. So this of course was tested with the webbrick server. I now want to put the project on our apache web server for production. I am having a very hard time getting this accomplished. I followed some of the steps here (because not all of them worked):

I have a problem with lighttpd on OSX. Everything builds fine (and webrick runs just fine) but lighttpd barfs: edward-kenworthys-computer:~/Development/Ruby/pricematic/trunk edward$ script/server => Booting lighttpd (use ''script/server webrick'' to force WEBrick) => Rails application started on http://0.0.0.0:3000 => Call with -d to detach => Ctrl-C to shutdown

Hi everybody, after more than 18 hours trying to get Ruby Rails running, i ran into this problem that i cannot solve. I want to mention that with normal CGI the test app was running fine. FastCGI is making me problems. I receive in the browser: "Application error Rails application failed to start properly" and in apache2 log files i have: [Thu Aug 25 00:13:49 2005] [error] [client

Im trying to get a new app up on dreamhost. What fun :/ Id like to try out the ''frao_handler'' which just keeps dreamhost from automatically killing my fcgi processes. But Im also worried about things getting out of hand. I seem to remember that captures in views can cause problems with fcgi (I might just be making that up????), and I do have few in my app. And well Im

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)
