I’ve been banging my head for a few days, appreciate any help. I’m not seeing login\_engine starting up. I’m on commercial host, so I don’t have the capability of upgrading myself. But, when I call, they were happy to upgrade me to rails 1.1.4. I’m using login\_engine, which I have working on my system here in the past with webrick. But when I install it fresh to the commercial host, I get the following errors: [Thu Jul 6 08:28:08 2006] [warn] FastCGI: (dynamic) server “/home/xxx/public\_html/devel/dispatch.fcgi” (uid x, gid x) started (pid 9397) [Thu Jul 6 08:28:11 2006] [warn] FastCGI: (dynamic) server “/home/xxx/public\_html/devel/dispatch.fcgi” (uid x, gid x) started (pid 9450) [Thu Jul 6 08:28:14 2006] [warn] FastCGI: (dynamic) server “/home/xxx/public\_html/devel/dispatch.fcgi” (pid 9450) termination signaled [Thu Jul 6 08:28:14 2006] [warn] FastCGI: (dynamic) server “/home/xxx/public\_html/devel/dispatch.fcgi” (pid 9450) terminated by calling exit with status ‘0’ I’ve also seen some fopen errors, complaining about not being able to open a log file. I’ve changed the entire log directory to 777, but no luck. On the web page itself, I just get a routing error. Inside the fcgi crash log I get …:9397] starting …:9450] starting …:9450] asked to terminate immediately …:9450] terminated by explicit exit …:9397] asked to terminate immediately …:9397] terminated by explicit exit In the suexec error log (another reload so it’s later), I get [2006-07-06 08:42:00]: info: (target/actual) uid: (xx/xx) gid: (x/x) cmd: dispatch.fcgi In my development log I see (seems like a general error, nothing specific about the engine) Processing Base#index (for x.x.x.x at 2006-07-06 08:42:01) [GET] Session ID: xxx Parameters: {} ActionController::RoutingError (Recognition failed for “/”): /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.1/lib/action\_controller/routing.rb:488:in `recognition_failed' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.1/lib/action_controller/routing.rb:478:in `recognize!’ /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.2/lib/dispatcher.rb:38:in `dispatch' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.2/lib/fcgi_handler.rb:150:in `process\_request’ /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.2/lib/fcgi\_handler.rb:54:in `process!' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fcgi-0.8.6.1/./fcgi.rb:600:in `each\_cgi’ /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fcgi-0.8.6.1/./fcgi.rb:597:in `each_cgi' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.2/lib/fcgi_handler.rb:53:in `process!’ /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.2/lib/fcgi\_handler.rb:23:in `process!’ dispatch.fcgi:23 Rendering /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.1/lib/action\_controller/templates/rescues/layout.rhtml (404 Page Not Found) I’ve changed my .htaccess for the Rewrite. Any other recommendations on how to troubleshoot this? It seems like login\_engine isn’t starting, or even being recognized. The regular rails index.html works, by the way, and the unit tests for the login\_engine pass. I’ve seen this mention about engines, but I’m not getting it started, so something else is wrong: > **[Rails 1.1.4: Security fix without breakage](https://rubyonrails.org/2006/6/30/rails-1-1-4-security-fix-without-breakage)** > > The security fix from Rails 1.1.3 might have closed the hole, but it also caused breakage for people with controllers in modules. We’ve fixed that now, so Rails 1.1.4 should work for any application that also ran under 1.1.2. We apologize for the... ruby 1.8.4 rails 1.1.4 Apache version 1.3.36 (Unix) mod\_fastcgi 2.4.2 Note that the site was generated with 1.1.2, but 1.l.4 is running now. I really appreciate any help. ---

Just saw Tim’s post from yesterday on failing engines, if that’s it, let me know. I’ll read it more closely, it didn’t show up on the google search, just noticed it from an iris search. Joe ---

Joe, Please try updating your copy of the engines plugin. I’ve just released 1.1.3, with a minor fix for the issues that some people were experiencing using Rails 1.1.4. - james ---

Hi James, I have engines 1.1.3 installed, but still seeing the same error. I’ve added a engine logger, but nothing shows up in it. Any thoughts, please let me know, I see the same errors in the server logs, so it must be more upstream. Joe James A. wrote: > Joe, > > Please try updating your copy of the engines plugin.

Hmm… it seems like something more fundamental is going wrong with your application’s environment. Have you double checked your routes.rb file? Does it work under webrick? - james ---

The default index.html works fine. I’ve setup login\_engine before, and compared the two routes.rb, they’re identical, but that was an older version of rails and login\_engine. In the README for login\_engine, it mentions about setting up “default routes”, but there is no specific information. I thought the before filter requiring authentication would take care of redirects to the login prompt. Are there routes I have to setup for login\_engine? I haven’t in the past, was I just lucky? Anyways, shouldn’t the engine startup, and I should get some sort of log file?

One more item - I’m using a commercial host, so I can’t use webrick. Bummer.

It looks like the update did work, [www.mydomain.com/user/login](http://www.mydomain.com/user/login) works, but when I go to [www.mydomain.com](http://www.mydomain.com), it doesn’t automatically go to the login page. Some kind of routing problem, I’ll beat it up a bit. Thanks for all the help.
