Hello,
I just did a “gem update” on my server updating to the latest version.
After this none of my scripts work.
In apache error log I get:
FastCGI: comm with (dynamic) server
“/home/user/public_html/dispatch.fcgi” aborted: (first read) idle
timeout (30 sec)
My only guess is that the problem is related to the fastCGI binding but
I have no idea what to look for. I haven’t touched my mod_fastcgi
configuration.
Running fcgi-2.4.0
These are my gems:
