similar to: Can''t stop/start lighttpd

I know this is kind of a generic question. But, when hitting my lighttpd/rails site on some of the first hits, the site hangs. I think it has something with the lighttpd configuration, possibly something I am missing with rails or ruby? Any ideas or how to track this down. fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" => ( "0.0.0.0" => ( "socket" =>

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

I am wanting to one run instance of lighttpd, many many instances of mongrel. I also need ssl but only for one of my sites. I understand that Mongrel does not play with SSL so I am forced to use Lighttpd. I think that lighttpd only handles ssl or non-ssl on any given instance. Is there a way for me to accomplish my goal of one lighttpd with multiple mongrels and the occasional ssl connection? --

Hello, I have an project running on a dedicated server: Debian, P4 CPU 3.00GHz, 1GB RAM, ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [x86_64-linux], rails (1.0.0), activerecord (1.13.2) lighttpd-1.4.10 + fastcgi + mysql 5.0 7 dispatchers.

I''m trying to setup my rails application with Light+fcgi. This is the error I''m getting when I try to start Lighttpd : ============ [getcapture@alpha getcapture]$ ~/etc/rc.d/lighttpd.sh start Starting Lighttpd 2006-04-15 11:27:24: (mod_fastcgi.c.1022) execve failed for: /home/getcapture/application/public/dispatch.fcgi No such file or directory [getcapture@alpha getcapture]$

I''m trying to get our app running on Lighty... I followed Ezra''s instructions: http://brainspl.at/pages/rails_stack... Currently the app runs fine with webrick, but with lighty I get 404 errors on everything. I found if I don''t edit the lighttpd.conf file to use absolute paths, it works fine. But this is not good for production because I need to run it with the -d

I have my code working on my local machine no problem, but when I upload to the server the RJS effects I have aren''t working. The server is running Ubuntu Dapper w/ lighttpd while on my local machine I''m using webrick. For kicks I shut down lightty and booted my app on the server with webrick and it works fine. So it''s definitely a lightty issue. Anyone else seen

Hi Guys, I hope someone can help me out. I am trying to configure two applications to run on lighttpd and each app will have its own domain. My machine is running on Fedora. When I run my lighttpd with the following conf file, I get no error but when I check out my app, it dishes out a 404 error- the 404 being served isn''t the 404 inside the railsapp/public folder. Do hope someone

I''m running lighttpd + fastcgi + rails Say that the lighttpd root directory is the rails application /public directory. I''m just curious. If theres a file in the document root with the same name as a controller, does the file get served first? How does that work? Does lighttpd check the root directory first to see if the file exists- If not, it calls dispatch.fcgi? I want to

Hi this is a newbie question that should be easy enough for somebody to answer, I''m horrible at this web server configuration stuff. I''m running Rails on Fedora Core 5 with Lighttpd and MySql. I''ve created a rails application ''logapp''. I have an entry in /etc/hosts like... 127.0.0.1 logapp So when I point my browser to ''logapp''

Hi all, I just updated lighttpd from 1.4.8 to 1.4.9 and it now refuses to start with the following error: 2006-01-24 23:12:24: (mod_fastcgi.c.989) execve failed for: public/ dispatch.fcgi No such file or directory 2006-01-24 23:12:24: (mod_fastcgi.c.1015) the fastcgi-backend public/ dispatch.fcgi failed to start: 2006-01-24 23:12:24: (mod_fastcgi.c.1019) child exited with status 2

My app runs fine on webrick, but I get a ActiveRecord::ConnectionNotEstablished when I try to run it on lighttpd.

Hi there, The default recipe expects you to be able to access your web server directly from your local machine. On our web server, for security purposes, it is only possible to ssh to it through one particular ip (which is also a remote machine.) The capistrano source is so compact and tidy it looks very hackable. But rather than messing around I thought I''d ask first if anyone else

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 there, I''m having some difficulties finding some decent info on getting Switchtower to function for my needs. I''ve read most of the Switchtower doc on http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/97, however it''s not answering some potent questions I have. 1. The doc mentions, as an example, using an SVN repos at http://svn.switchtower.com/flipper/trunk What if I

Rails 1.0 on RedHat with MySQL It seems that my app stops functioning overnight [actually I am assuming that it is after a period of inactivity]. Googling around for solutions, it seems that it might be an issue with timeouts on the MySQL session. A suggestion I found was to a) increase timeout on MySQL [don''t want to do that]; b) add idle-timeout parameter to Lightty. So I

I''ve got switchtower set up, and it seems to work fine except for one problem: It doesn''t successfully restart lighttpd. I have the following task in my deploy.rb file: desc "Restart the web server" task :restart, :roles => :app do sudo "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/lighttpd.sh restart" end This is on a FreeBSD system, so it''s using the rc script to

I have a rails app on a debian server running lighttpd and I''m trying to set up typo so that it also works (with a different url). I have 4 URLs running -- let''s call them foo.com, bar.com, www.typo.com and php.typo.com I am starting lighttpd by going into the directory where my foo.com app is and typing either ruby script/server or script/server -e production -- either
