i had been trying for weeks to get fcgi to play right with apache. i
finally got it working, but it’s far from stable. it was recommended to
me that i should try using SCGI and that it is much easier to set up.
being new to this stuff though, i’m not sure if there’s a lack of
documentation or if there are some things that are just assumed and not
known by a noob like me.
i’m not really sure what i’m supposed to do to get everything set up,
and i don’t want to screw something else up in the process. i’ve
installed the scgi gem but i don’t know how to configure apache to use
it. i found the scgi_mod.so file but have no clue what i’m supposed to
do with it either. do i copy it to the modules directory and just add
the loadmodule line in my httpd.conf file? i have no clue.
then, how to i set up my rails apps? do i use dispatch.cgi or
dispatch.fcgi? do i need to do anything special to get it running,
etc…
