I’ve run into a problem on one of my development machines. I’m trying to  
run multiple rails apps on one dev machine that runs Windows. Problem is  
that is seems that I can only run one scgi\_service at a time, meaning  
that only one of my apps will function at a time. Anyone know how I can  
get around this, other than getting a \*nix box (which I should have  
soon, hopefully) ?

Lighttpd.conf (part of it):

var.test= “C:/Rails/Test”

$HTTP[“host”] == “test” {  
server.document-root = var.test+ “/public”  
server.errorlog = var.test+ “/log/lighttpd-errors.log”  
accesslog.filename = var.test+ “/log/lighttpd-access.log”  
static-file.exclude-extensions = ( “.php”, “.pl”, “.fcgi”, “.scgi” )  
server.error-handler-404 = “/dispatch.scgi”  
scgi.server = ( “dispatch.scgi” =\> ((  
“host” =\> “127.0.0.1”,  
“port” =\> 1001,  
“check-local” =\> “disable”  
)) )  
}

var.test2= “C:/Rails/Test2”

$HTTP[“host”] == “test2” {  
server.document-root = var.test2+ “/public”  
server.errorlog = var.test2+ “/log/lighttpd-errors.log”  
accesslog.filename = var.test2+ “/log/lighttpd-access.log”  
static-file.exclude-extensions = ( “.php”, “.pl”, “.fcgi”, “.scgi” )  
server.error-handler-404 = “/dispatch.scgi”  
scgi.server = ( “dispatch.scgi” =\> ((  
“host” =\> “127.0.0.1”,  
“port” =\> 1000,  
“check-local” =\> “disable”  
)) )  
}

## Scgi.yaml #1

:host: 127.0.0.1  
:password: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
:port: 1001  
:logfile: log/scgi.log  
:config: config/scgi.yaml  
:control\_url: druby://127.0.0.1:8999  
:disable\_signals: true  
:env: production

## Scgi.yaml #2

:host: 127.0.0.1  
:password: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
:port: 1000  
:logfile: log/scgi.log  
:config: config/scgi.yaml  
:control\_url: druby://127.0.0.1:8999  
:disable\_signals: true  
:env: production

Heres the error I get:

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:853:in `initialize': Only one usage of each sock et address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. - bind(2) (Err no::EADDRINUSE) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:853:in `open’

```
    from c:/ruby/bin/scgi_service:18:in `load'
    from c:/ruby/bin/scgi_service:18

```

Thanks.

Hi Eric,

I’m still running the 0.3 version of SCGI on our boxes but I think the  
problem may well be that you have the same port configured for  
admistration for both apps (:control\_url). Try changing the port  
number (8999) and see if that helps.

Paul.

Created by Chris H. I think.  
You can track lighttpd stuff at  
[http://forum.lighttpd.net/forum/1](http://forum.lighttpd.net/forum/1)  
if you are inclined.

Thanks, Shashy

Hi,  
Thanks for the help Paul. Worked like a charm. I should have tried a  
couple more things before posting.  
Cheers,  
Eric
