Hi

I’m trying to get ruby running on a Debian Linux server with ISPConfig  
and Apache.

I have tried many tutorials like:

1. [http://www.howtoforge.com/ruby\_on\_rails\_apache2\_fastcgi\_debian\_p6](http://www.howtoforge.com/ruby_on_rails_apache2_fastcgi_debian_p6)
2. 

[http://www.howtoforge.de/howto/verwendung-von-ruby-on-rails-mit-apache2-auf-debian-etch/](http://www.howtoforge.de/howto/verwendung-von-ruby-on-rails-mit-apache2-auf-debian-etch/)  
3.  
[http://www.howtoforge.de/howto/linux/wie-man-mod\_ruby-fur-die-verwendung-mit-ispconfig-2220-und-neuere-versionen-auf-verschiedenen-linux-distributionen-installiert/](http://www.howtoforge.de/howto/linux/wie-man-mod_ruby-fur-die-verwendung-mit-ispconfig-2220-und-neuere-versionen-auf-verschiedenen-linux-distributionen-installiert/)

the ruby projekt is at var/www/web1/

the public folder is renamed into web (the apache root folder)

If I connect to a \*.rb file in var/www/web1/web/test.rb everything works  
out.

But if i connect to var/www/web/app/views/bla via  
[http://www.domain.xy/bla](http://www.domain.xy/bla) I get an webserver Error 503 (timeout)

What could be the reason for that?

Greetings Andi
