Hi there, I am working in a RoR application which allows certain users to upload files. Currently I store these files in a directory called "files". This directory is located in the RoR application directory: rails/rails_application/files So users don''t have access to them. Now I want users to be able to download some of these files (they will search based on some

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

I''m having a lot of problems with my Typo install. My fastcgi fails horribly after a reboot: [13/Jan/2006:16:55:28 :: 19796] Dispatcher failed to catch: (Interrupt) /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/fcgi.rb:597:in `each'' /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/fcgi.rb:597:in `each_cgi'' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.0.0/lib/fcgi_handler.rb:52:in `process!''

Looking at the code for ActionController#send_file I see that it is using ruby to send the file contents. Linux supports a sendfile() OS call. The implementation of Linux sendfile() is extremely fast and very CPU efficient, far faster than what can be done in user space. Does Windows support a sendfile() equivalent call? I haven''t been working with ruby long enough to know how it handles

Hey guys, I often get this problem the first time I try to deploy a rails app on dreamhost and I''m not sure what the cause is. Basically, I have an app that''s running fine on my local machine. I''ve uploaded the app, configured and migrated to the latest version of the db, and set all of the necessary directories to 755. But when I run dispatch.rb in ssh or

Hi, Background: I''m currently stuck getting my basic rails application working on dreamhost. I have gone throught the doco. Note that I can via my unix account run "ruby script/server" and get the application working via webbrick. The problem I am having is that trying to go to the app via the normal apache approach my browser just sits and spins with nothing coming

Can anyone provide some expert debugging help here? What''s the first step to take to see what the issue is here? I have no errors in the rails app''s log files. The only errors I have are those provided by apache and they are: ''FastCGI: Incomplete headers (0) bytes received from server'' I''ve tried editing the shebang line, removing line feeds, but

Hi -- (First time posting to the list...) I''m trying out Rails on my Mac (OS X Panther, 1.6 G5). It seems... kinda slow? I''ve even run it with FastCGI and the response time is still painfully slow. Is this just me? Is mod_ruby any better than FastCGI? Or is it rails? Thanks in advance! -- joshua

I''ve just had a problem with fastcgi killing processes off while they were running (I have a long-running background process)... but it took me a while to track it down and pinpoint that fastcgi was asking the process to quit. So i was thinking if it would be a good idea to tweak the way ruby-fastcgi handles this. At the moment, in fcgi.rb (part of the fcgi gem) there is

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

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 finally got around to installing lighttpd on my mac for dev work, followed the instructions at http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger When I go into my rails app and type "./script/server" I get the following errors: baggio:~/work/teore pergesu$ ./script/server => Booting lighttpd (use ''script/server webrick'' to force WEBrick)

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. How do I get fastcgi stuff to work on apache... I have this setup for my tutorial environment in httpd.conf <VirtualHost *> DocumentRoot /home/craig/cookbook/public ServerName cookbook <Directory

Hi, I''m getting the following error message when I try to start lighttpd: BEGIN ERROR: $ 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 server (see config/lighttpd.conf for options) 2006-04-24 03:29:39: (mod_fastcgi.c.1022)

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

So I''m getting ready to setup a production environment on my boxen (running Fedora Core 3), what are my options? I''ve seen a number of posts about FastCGI, SCGI, etc. and am completely lost as to what I should be setting up on my box (that I hopefully won''t have to touch for a while). I need to run Collaboa, Typo and probably 3 or 4 other apps on this, so

Hey Folks! I''ve got a Fedora Core 4 machine that I''m installing Ruby on Rails on, following this set of instructions: http://www.digitalmediaminute.com/howto/fc4rails/ Everything has gone well up until I get to the part about configuring lighttpd to use virtual hosts. Here''s the chunk of code I''ve got in my config file that appears to be the culprit.

I''ve managed to get Rails working using Apache->Lighttpd->SCGI. Restarting everything is really difficult. This appears to be the process: - stop apache - stop lighttpd - stop scgi - make sure scgi still isn''t running (it sometimes does) - if it is, kill it - delete all session files (they often cause permission errors) - start scgi - start apache - start lighttpd - cross

I''ve followed the install the install guide on http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger and it seemed to work. And I''ve been following the Instant Gratifiction guide in Chapter four in Agile Web Development with Rails book. I''m in terminal and I type - cd work (everything works fine) then rails demo (everything seems to work) then cd

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. The project is a game, so a typical user would visit 100+ pages. When the server is busiest, it gets 35-40k requests/hour. For some misterious reason after a number of hours the
