Mod_rails and fastcgi questions

Rails
1

Originally, I had rails running under apache with fastcgi.

I just recently successfully installed mod_rails and updated my apache
httpd.conf file with the correct configuration but kept my virtual host
the same.

i’m a little confused about a couple things here though:

-does fastcgi need to be installed to run a mod_rails instance?

-how can i tell if i am actually using mod rails or just running under
fastcgi?

do:

curl --head http://yourwebsitename

You should have

X-Powered-By: Phusion Passenger (mod_rails/mod_rack) 1.1.0

or similar if mod_rails is being used :slight_smile:

i noticed there were still lots of fastcgi processes so i killed them
all and restarted apache. now the only ruby process is:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.0.1/ext/apache2/ApplicationPoolServerExecutable
0
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.0.1/bin/passenger-spawn-server
/usr/local/bin/ruby /tmp/passenger_status.2744.fifo

and the website is working so i’m assuming everything is working.
