Hi Ruby on Rails experts, I have been trying to get Ruby on Rails running on my FreeBSD server to no avail. I’ve overcome a few technical issues, but I’m stumped again. Here’s an excerpt from my vhost.conf LoadModule env\_module modules/mod\_env.so SetEnv RAILS\_ENV development DocumentRoot /domainpath/httpdocs/bluke2/public/ ErrorLog /domainpath/httpdocs/bluke2/log/apache.log \ Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks AddHandler cgi-script .cgi AllowOverride all Order allow,deny Allow from all When I try to load my web page, I get an application error and the following in my log file: [Mon May 28 15:47:38 2007] [error] [client 1.2.3.4] Premature end of script headers: dispatch.cgi So, I check the dispatch.cgi file: # ruby -d public/dispatch.cgi Exception `NameError' at ./public/../config/boot.rb:14 - uninitialized constant Rails Exception`MissingSourceFile’ at /usr/local/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27 - no such file to load – utf8proc\_native /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems –snip– So, I check to see if the module is installed in gem. # gem list --local | grep -i utf8proc utf8proc (1.0.3) Yup, and I ever reissued the gem install command for it. I’m at a loss and I’d really appreciate some direction here. Luke
