Re: [LUG] Install RoR - Apache2 and FastCGI
Hi,
The error would probably have been obvious to anyone with some apache understanding but i followed the tutorials not always knowing what each step was for and so I ended up
- installing mod-fcgid for apache2 since it says in several places that mod-fascgi is bugged for apache2 (nevertheless people named the tutorial apache2 w. fastCGI which can be confusing)
- changing the following line in the .htaccess file placed within the ruby app directory
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.cgi [QSA,L]
to
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
- and adding these lines in the <directory> declaration for the ruby app in my apache2 config:
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
I understand now I was
telling apache to use the cgi mod to read .cgi files found within the ruby app where there would be only fcgi files thanks to the rewriting rule in the .htaccess.
The first correction was to change the apache2 config to
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
Also, I realised some of these apache2 declaration were also repeated (still with the errors) in the default .htaccess file generated by ruby so i simply deleted them all in the htaccess file.
Maybe that will help someone else out there :)

What was the error in these files? :) I'd find it useful to see...
