Hi All,

I am trying to install a rails app ( openmind ) and i am getting 500  
internal server on the webpage :  
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while  
trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

While if i run dispatch.fcgi This is the result

]# ./dispatch.fcgi  
Requiring REXML  
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8  
Set-Cookie: \_session\_id=0472eeda1383af0fd86902505f7508ee; path=/  
Status: 302 Found  
Location: http://:/account/login  
X-Runtime: 2ms  
Cache-Control: no-cache  
Content-Length: 88

You are being redirected.\</body

I guess there is some problem with .htaccess

------------------------------.htaccess

General Apache options  
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi  
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi  
#Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI

# If you don’t want Rails to look in certain directories,

# use the following rewrite rules so that Apache won’t rewrite certain

requests

# 

# Example:

# RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_URI} ^/notrails.\*

# RewriteRule .\* - [L]

# Redirect all requests not available on the filesystem to Rails

# By default the cgi dispatcher is used which is very slow

# 

# For better performance replace the dispatcher with the fastcgi one

# 

# Example:

# RewriteRule ^(.\*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]

RewriteEngine On

# If your Rails application is accessed via an Alias directive,

# then you MUST also set the RewriteBase in this htaccess file.

# then you MUST also set the RewriteBase in this htaccess file.

# 

# Example:

# Alias /myrailsapp /path/to/myrailsapp/public

# RewriteBase /myrailsapp

RewriteBase /  
RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]  
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-f  
RewriteRule ^(.\*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]

# In case Rails experiences terminal errors

# Instead of displaying this message you can supply a file here which

will be rendered instead

# 

# Example:

# ErrorDocument 500 /500.html

------------------------- end .htaccess

My site is in a subfoler ( actually a link to another folder ) in  
public\_html .

Please help

Thanks
