Actually, the site didn’t stop working entirely. It works fine under WEBrick. It just stopped working under Litespeed. Nothing is showing in the production.log at all. When following the install instructions, I didn’t freeze to edge because I’m using 0.6.2. I did the steps below then restarted the server and I haven’t been able to connect using Litespeed since. svn checkout [http://svn.seancribbs.com/svn/rails/plugins/extensions/](http://svn.seancribbs.com/svn/rails/plugins/extensions/) page\_attachments vendor/extensions/page\_attachments rake production db:migrate:extensions rake production radiant:extensions:page\_attachments:update ---

Do you have any other extensions installed? Do you have ImageScience, MiniMagick or RMagick? Sean ---

Extensions: yes — I have a basic custom extension and the reorder extension. I have ImageScience and RMagick. I have a bunch of Mephisto sites on the server using ImageScience (was originally using RMagick but switched over) I tried blowing away the page\_attachments folder and I’m back in business using Litespeed. So Litespeed server definitely doesn’t like something about page\_attachments. I tried upgrading Litespeed and ruby-lsapi gem to the latest and that didn’t do it for page\_attachments either. ---

I had some problems getting an app with the page\_attachments extension running in development mode with ImageScience installed as a gem. After removing the gem it seemed to work fine and I just went with RMagick. I’m using Mongrel. I’m going to have another crack at getting ImageScience to work though as it sounds pretty good.

… That would be because I need FreeImage installed. Sorry just ignore me. I’ll think before posting in future. ---

Chris, My guess is that it is something about your Litespeed environment. The user that Litespeed runs as definitely needs permission to write to tmp/ and public/ under your Radiant installation. Make sure those are OK and then if you can, post your production.log in a pastie. Sean ---

What app-server is being used (Mongrel, FCGI, LSAPI) 5. What operating system you are running on (distribution, version, etc) 6. Which database you use 7. Relevant contents of a log file, or a backtrace dump 8. What extensions you have installed 9. Anything else peculiar about your environment I can help you better if you provide this information.

Thanks, Andrea. That email wasn’t directed at you specifically, but thank you. For #7, production.log and fastcgi.crash.log if available. A pastie would be best ([http://pastie.caboo.se](http://pastie.caboo.se)). Sean ---

Hmm… that /is/ strange. You said FCGI, but are you using Apache, lighttpd, nginx, Litespeed? I’m wondering if it has to do with the environment established by the webserver. Also, have you tried running: ruby public/dispatch.fcgi If you get a 500 error and not an error stacktrace, your FCGI and Radiant is configured correctly for the user you are logged in as. Sean ---

Andrea, Your production log says that essentially, the PageAttachment class couldn’t be loaded. This usually indicates a failure to load any required files within the context of page\_attachment.rb. Since there are no explicit requires inside the file, it must be in attachment\_fu (the has\_attachment call). This probably means that the user your FCGI process runs as cannot require any of your image libraries (ImageScience, MiniMagick, RMagick). In the case of ImageScience, it may be that it cannot write to the FCGI user’s ~/.ruby\_inline directory to compile the code. If possible, run this as your FCGI user: irb -rubygems > > require ‘image\_science’ > > ImageScience If it worked, you should get no error. Sean ---

Perfect… this is a working solution! I don’t know why, but imagescience and imagemagick gems aren’t full functional… with rmagick it works fine!!!
