Forum: Rails deployment Rails + fastcgi... not working :/

Hello,

I have plesk 9.3 and I am trying to make it go along with rails. So I
installed ruby, rails, ruby-gems, fastcgi, etc. (I had tried Passenger,
but it didn't work with my distro due to dependencies... so I preferred
giving up).

When I run ./dispatch.fcgi in command-line, it outputs nothing and
continues executing until I press enter or whatever then it returns to
shell. When I try to access it on the web, I get an error 500. I looked
at the logs and I have "Premature end of script headers". I made some
searches without success... I'm wondering why it happens. Before having
this blank output from ./dispatch.fcgi (in command-line), I had a rails
error telling me that it needed a greater version of ruby-gems so I
upgraded and now I have nothing.. :/

Is there someone which could help me? This is my very first rails app,
and my very first deployment... It took me the day to set up everything
(including capistrano with git, etc), I'm fed up..

(Sorry if I made some English mistakes, I'm not a native-speaker).

Thanks in advance!

Anyone? :/

# Premature end of script headers
for me meant "I had the wrong shebang at the top of my file"

make sure you can run ruby script/server RAILS_ENV=production and it 
works right.

but really--try passenger.  Be nice to yourself. :)
