Hi, I tried to deploy my Radiant application using Apache 2 and fastcgi on Debian. I modified the file public/.htaccess, adding: ```auto AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi ``` and created a virtual host like this: [code]\ ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost ServerName ruby.cms01.uperto.int DocumentRoot /var/www/test/public/ ErrorLog /var/www/test/log/apache.log ``` Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all ``` [/code] It is working, when I go to ruby.cms01.uperto.int, it goes to the real path, which is /var/www/test/public/ and the login page appears, but my problem is that I don’t have any images, stylesheets or javascript. I tried with aliases, but it doesn’t work… I really don’t find answers anymore, and a little help would be great! Thanks in advance, and tell me if you need more information 😉 ---

In public/.htaccess, you also need to replace: RewriteRule ^(.\*)$ dispatch.cgi [QSA,L] with: RewriteRule ^(.\*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L] That is, “.cgi” becomes “.fcgi”. I have the same configuration and have it working. HTH, ~joe ---

Hi, Thanks for answering. I actually did what you say before, but forgot to mention it. So I guess it is not this which cause my problem. I really don’t know what it could be. Thanks a lot. ---

I had another problem as well, where textile wouldn’t function and the pages/snippets/layouts tabs didn’t appear, etc. I’m not sure how that got fixed, except that I had restarted my browser meantime. A session management issue? Your symptoms didn’t seem the same, though. ~joe ---

Check your apache error log and see where it is looking to get load your stylesheets from. ---

Hi, I checked the log, here is where it takes the stylesheets and images: […] Processing SiteController#show\_page (for 192.168.30.63 at 2007-07-06 10:14:42) [GET] Parameters: {“1183563136”=\>nil, “action”=\>“show\_page”, “url”=\>[“stylesheets”, “admin”, “main.css”], “controller”=\>“site”} Redirected to [http://ruby.cms01.uperto.int/admin/welcome](http://ruby.cms01.uperto.int/admin/welcome) Completed in 0.00555 (180 reqs/sec) | DB: 0.00288 (51%) | 302 Found [[http://ruby.cms01.uperto.int/stylesheets/admin/main.css?1183563136](http://ruby.cms01.uperto.int/stylesheets/admin/main.css?1183563136)] […] Processing SiteController#show\_page (for 192.168.30.63 at 2007-07-06 10:14:45) [GET] Parameters: {“1183563136”=\>nil, “action”=\>“show\_page”, “url”=\>[“images”, “admin”, “view-site.gif”], “controller”=\>“site”} Redirected to [http://ruby.cms01.uperto.int/admin/welcome](http://ruby.cms01.uperto.int/admin/welcome) Completed in 0.00538 (185 reqs/sec) | DB: 0.00283 (52%) | 302 Found [[http://ruby.cms01.uperto.int/images/admin/view-site.gif?1183563136](http://ruby.cms01.uperto.int/images/admin/view-site.gif?1183563136)] […] So it goes to [http://ruby.cms01.uperto.int/images](http://ruby.cms01.uperto.int/images) for the images and [http://ruby.cms01.uperto.int/stylesheets](http://ruby.cms01.uperto.int/stylesheets) for the stylesheets. Images and stylesheets are actually in /var/www/test/public/images (or …/stylesheets). But with the settings of the virtual host, it should transform ruby.cms01.uperto.int in /var/www/test/public/ , isn’t it? Is there another option that I should add? Thanks ---

Ok it works by redirecting to fcgi only files that doesn’t exist on the server: RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.\*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L] And with these two more rules it manages the static cache: RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA] RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA] RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.\*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
