FastCGI can't find rubygems?

Rails
1

Hi all,
I’m trying to use Apache 2.0.52 and FastCGI on Mac OS 10.4.6 and I’m
having
some trouble. The server starts up fine, but I get the error at the
bottom
of this post once I make a request to the rails app. I was curious if
anyone had an idea as to why it wasn’t working. I have everything
installed
correctly (rubygems, fastcgi, ruby bindings, etc). I had this all up
and
running perfectly with lighttpd, but now I’m switching over to Apache
and
it’s giving me this trouble. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks, Ryan

Check out your dispatch.fcgi file.
The first line propably reads
#!/usr/bin/ruby

And that points to the default MacOS X ruby. However you need to
update that to the Ruby location you use.
You can type the command
which ruby
To see the location of your Ruby. If you have used the port
installation the line you should use is likely:
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby

That’s interesting. I had changed it to:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

so that when I use rake deploy, when it copies over this copy to my
production server, it will use the correct version of ruby since it is
in a different place than on my Mac here. Why doesn’t that work? Why
did it work with Lighttpd?

I did what you said and it work now (Thank you!), but I’m still
curious why my way fails.

Thanks, Ryan
