Posted this on the rubyonrails-deployment group (http://  
[groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-deployment/browse\_thread/thread/](http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-deployment/browse_thread/thread/)  
d5ef4f3525c3c39a), but figured it couldn’t hurt posting it here too.

I’m not a windows user, and I’ve never deployed on windows. Made this  
small app for a company, and they want it deployed on one of their own  
servers - a windows server.

I’ve installed this Rails Prod Win package. When browsing to  
[http://localhost](http://localhost),  
I get the 500 error page from the .htaccess. This is what the apache  
error log says: [Parked at Loopia](http://pastie.caboo.se/58525)

After googling around for a while, I found this small fcgi script to  
test if fcgi is working - [Parked at Loopia](http://pastie.caboo.se/58526) - and it is.  
Browsing to that file displays the stuff, and does the incremental  
count on each request.

No clue at all about this pipe 1 stuff in the error messages. Anyone  
has a clue at all? I have absolutely no idea where to start, so _any_  
help on this will be greatly appreciated.
