Hi!
Environment
Solaris 10
Apache 2.2.0 with fcgid_module
Ruby 1.8.4
Rails 1.2.3
I am trying to get FastCGI working. Initially I used “dispatch.cgi”
successfully but when I switched to “dispatch.fcgi” I get
====================================================
Application error
Rails application failed to start properly
and
====================================================
[Tue May 08 16:07:10 2007] [warn] (146)Connection refused: mod_fcgid:
read data from fastcgi server error.
[Tue May 08 16:07:10 2007] [error] [client 123.123.123.123] Premature
end of script headers: dispatch.fcgi
So I tried to run the script directly:
====================================================
ruby public/dispatch.fcgi
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/
active_support/dependencies.rb:266:inload_missing_constant': uninitialized constant RailsFCGIHandler (NameError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:452:inconst_missing’
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/
active_support/dependencies.rb:464:in `const_missing’
from public/dispatch.fcgi:24
====================================================
I have read that this means that the fcgi module is missing, so I
tried installing it:
====================================================
gem install fcgi
Building native extensions. This could take a while…
ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
ruby extconf.rb install fcgi
checking for fcgiapp.h… no
checking for fastcgi/fcgiapp.h… no
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.
OK, so I am missing header (and lib) files. So I installed fcgi from
http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/fcgi-2.4.0.tar.gz and reran the module
install
(The gem tool is now building against FastCGI which is used in
mod_fastcgi for Apache. The resulting fcgi module should be compatible
with the alternative mod_fcgid that I am using.)
====================================================
gem install fcgi

I have this twilight zone feeling. Am I on the right track? Should it
really be this hard?
Any help appreciated,
Kevin
