I have RoR running on lighttpd on RedHat Linux and every morning that I
check the web page it just keeps waiting to refresh it forever, Firefox
and IE never times out on any of the pages I try. Has anyone seen that
happening to their RoR? I also removed lighttpd completely and just ran
webrick but there was no difference. The linux box has a pretty old
kernel 2.4.21-4, could that be the problem, I’m just guessing?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

When it comes to lighttpd ‘idle-timeout’ directive might be the
problem. You may safely get rid of it. I am not sure why webrick
doesn’t work.

I don’t have an ‘idle-timeout’ directive in my lighttpd.conf file. I
checked it this morning and it’s frozen again, time to restart it. I
think I’ll put in a cron job to restart it every night and see if that
helps.

I solved the problem. It turns out that when I was resyncing my RoR
directory on my Linux box the from a Windows box every day, the files
were copied in Windows format not Unix. Once I converted all dispatch.*
files in the public directory to Unix using the dos2unix command
everything was fine.
Thanks for your help.
