[mod_fcgid] 503 server temporarily unavailable

Rails
1

Hi There,

Every now and then, and recently more and more we get a “503 server
temporarily unavailable” error from our rails app.

We are running Rails 1.0 with mod_fcgid in Apache 2.0.54 on Debian

The thing is I don’t think we have such a heavy load on the server, and
I haven’t seen this error occur at all outside the rails app. In fact I
don’t think I ever saw it before we switched to fcgid.

Has anybody else experienced anything similar running rails?

Any tips on how to avoid this?

Are you using the latest fcgid? If you’re not, I’d recommend to upgrade.

I appear to have version 1.05-1 installed:

root@mymachine:/home/srjoseph # apt-cache policy libapache2-mod-fcgid
libapache2-mod-fcgid:
Installed: 1.05-1
Candidate: 1.05-1
Version Table:
*** 1.05-1 0
500 http://ftp.us.debian.org stable/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

The mod_fcgid site appears to be down at present, but I can view it in
archive.org:

http://web.archive.org/web/20040919070812/http://fastcgi.coremail.cn/

That appears to be the latest stable debian version:

Although there does appear to be a version 1.10-1 in testing

Which version are you using?

Hi,
What’s your mod_fcgid version? The latest 1.10 has done something
about it. And can you show me the mod_fcgid configurations in
httpd.conf?

Thanks
