Hi all, I am having problems with FCGI and Apache2 on windows. The error I often receive is 500 error code response with logs listed down. I successfully use Webrick server and CGI (very slow). I had configured apache as is described in these document: [http://dema.ruby.com.br/articles/2005/08/23/taming-fastcgi-apache2-on-windows](http://dema.ruby.com.br/articles/2005/08/23/taming-fastcgi-apache2-on-windows). Any suggestions?

I am running into the same sort of intermittent errors. Wondering if there could be a but in the active record gem mysql adaptor with a dual CPU machine. Is your machine a dual? If I repeatedly reload a page that does no database access, it never fails. However, the moment I do foo = MyTable.find(:first), I can get it to fail pretty quickly. I have tried using both MySQL 4.1 and MySQL5 Actually, though, in addition to FCGI not working the way you describe, I also see crashes with WebBrick on this machine. It never crashes on my development machine (Mac). Unfortunately, I have to deploy on windows.

Ray, no it is not dual machine and I didn’t have any problems when used Apache CGI or WebRick. best, Bojan ---

A fix for a WEBrick concurrency issue was just checked into the trunk. [http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/3454](http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/3454) This is probably worse on a dual CPU machine. Doesn’t affect FCGI though.
