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

I am wondering if anyone has any procedural documentation for installing and using Rails from the standalone packages rather then via ''gem install''. It seems there should be some steps outside of simply unpacking the tar ball in order to integate it with your Ruby installation. Seems every bit of installation documentation I can find has ''gem install

Ok, this is a hard one and I just thought I''d see if people on the list had any suggestions on how they would approach this, I''ve not started to implement the rails to handle this yet as I''m still at the paper planning phase. I''m building an app that has to handle availability for travel packages. The complexity comes in that a person can choose a start

Hi, I''m attempting an install of active_rbac but am having some troubles. I''m running Debian 3.1 sarge and I am getting an error saying that I need to have net/https installed. I checked out my ruby lib and net/https.rb is nowhere to be found. I''m running the default ruby for Sarge which is 1.8.2. Was https.rb not included in this build? How can I get around this? I

As I delve further into using engines and rspec together I am noticing more strange issues. describe "Requesting /admin/collections using get" do controller_name :admin_collections before(:each) do Collection.stub!(:paginate) end it "should return a collection of collection objects" do get ''index'' response.should be_success

How many people out there are doing Rails development on a Mac Mini? I''ve been eyeing up the MacBook as well as the new MacMini trying to decide if I want to splurge. I''ve been doing very little Rails development thus far which makes the investment a little hard to justify. The Free Mini Mac ( http://minimacs.freepay.com/?r=16778073) offer seems like the best route but

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

I''m using Ajax to create a list of items. Once these items have been created the user can edit in place and delete them. I''ve got the ajax working for delete and removing the element from the page, but the in_place_editor_field doesn''t seem to like being in a for loop. I''ve got in_place_editor working for single items, but what''s the syntax

What''s the current state of Rails installation on a fresh Ubuntu Breezy? I''ve just set up a laptop with a fresh installation, and tried to install ruby et al, and got nowhere fast. The default ruby is 1.8.3, and compiling the source for 1.8.4 leaves the rubygems setup.rb breaking unable to find zlib (and yes, I have checked for zlib1g-dev and readline). Is there a known

Hi all Ubuntu linux breezy switched to using UTF-8 as the default encoding. This has created problems for users of Weft QDA - which uses wxruby-0.6.0. When accented characters are encoded in UTF-8, they display brokenly (as you''d expect, with double-byte chars appearing as two wrong characters). But now latin-1 encoded strings with accented characters don''t display at all.

I am using R 2.1.1 on i486-pc-gnu-linux (Ubuntu Breezy). Recently, I bought new laptop HP nx8220 and installed Breezy with a few problems starting X-Windows. Nevertheless, I followed some instruction, managed to start X, and added R from the Ubuntu's repositories. When I try to produce any graph (like plot, bwplot etc.), I receive an error message: can't find X11 font Error in X11( ....

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

I''m trying to do file upload with rails and fcgi. Basically, i want my users to be able to upload images on the server. After the upload, I get a 500 error from apache and in the error log I find this: FastCGI: comm with server "/var/www/workspace/mydomain/public/dispatch.fcgi" aborted: error parsing headers: malformed header

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

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
