Hi, I have a problem with Apache 2 and mod\_fcgid. In fact, it seems there are correctly installed and configured: my rails application works (see [http://www.cedrich.be/index](http://www.cedrich.be/index) ) … but the stylesheets aren’t loaded. The generated url ( \<%= stylesheet\_link\_tag “styles”, :media =\> “all” %\> ) looks correct. But when I try to access the stylesheet (see [http://www.cedrich.be/stylesheets/styles.css](http://www.cedrich.be/stylesheets/styles.css) ), I have a HTTP 500 error (internal server error). \*\* Apache 2 ( under FreeBSD 6) configuration: LoadModule fcgid\_module libexec/apache2/mod\_fcgid.so AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi SocketPath /tmp/fcgi\_ipc DefaultInitEnv RAILS\_ENV production IdleTimeout 600 ProcessLifeTime 3600 MaxProcessCount 8 IPCConnectTimeout 60 IPCCommTimeout 60 \*\* Virtual host configuration : \ DocumentRoot /var/www/cedric/www.cedrich.net/public/ ServerName www.cedrich.be CustomLog /var/log/bepolytech/cedrich combined ErrorLog /var/log/bepolytech/cedrich.error ``` AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA] RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L] ``` ``` ErrorDocument 500 /500.html ErrorDocument 404 /404.html SetHandler fcgid-script Options Indexes +FollowSymlinks +ExecCGI AllowOverride all Order allow,deny Allow from all ``` \*\* And my public/.htaccess (uncommented lines): AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA] RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA] RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.\*)$ dispatch.cgi [QSA,L] Could you help me ?

I think all non-rails URL’s ( like [http://www.cedrich.be/images/rails.png](http://www.cedrich.be/images/rails.png) ) are wrong ( HTTP 500 error). It’s weird :s ---

hi cedric in .htaccess u have to put RewriteRule ^(._)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L] not RewriteRule ^(._)$ dispatch.cgi [QSA,L] also this is weird u should check again if files are uploaded also why did u copy and paste .htaccess rules in the apache config, u should put it in only one place – Heri R.

It’s actually pretty fast, and it’d make your php apps get inline with the theme of “just use http”. But, I haven’t actually used it. – Zed A.

Yes but the server where I host my ror application hosts some other websites ( php, etc) … I could try with an apache proxi server, and mongrel but it’s more complicated.
