Hi all, M having a problem deploying a ruby on rails application on the production server tthough I’ve successfully deployed another 1 on the same before, and though the neww app is successfully running on the developer’s server. After lots of trials, setting files permissions, configuring enviroment.rb to point to the server’s rails version , configuring the ruby path in dispatch.fcgi, , I get the bowser error, “Something Went Wrong”. Checking the fastcgi.crash.log file I find the following error: [31/Jan/2008:16:00:58 :: 11562] Dispatcher failed to catch: private method `split' called for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/cgi.rb:897:in`parse’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.13.2/lib/action\_controller/cgi\_ext/raw\_post\_data\_fix.rb:45:in `initialize_query' /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/cgi.rb:2270:in`initialize’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/fcgi.rb:594:in `each_cgi' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.2/lib/fcgi_handler.rb:141:in`process\_each\_request!’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.2/lib/fcgi\_handler.rb:55:in `process!' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.2/lib/fcgi_handler.rb:25:in`process!’ dispatch.fcgi:6 almost killed by this error [31/Jan/2008:16:00:58 :: 11562] Dispatcher failed to catch: private method `split' called for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/cgi.rb:897:in`parse’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.13.2/lib/action\_controller/cgi\_ext/raw\_post\_data\_fix.rb:45:in `initialize_query' /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/cgi.rb:2270:in`initialize’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/fcgi.rb:594:in `each_cgi' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.2/lib/fcgi_handler.rb:141:in`process\_each\_request!’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.2/lib/fcgi\_handler.rb:55:in `process!' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.2/lib/fcgi_handler.rb:25:in`process!’ dispatch.fcgi:6 killed by this error my new dispatch.fcgi file content is: #!/usr/local/lib/env ruby require File.dirname( **FILE** ) + “/config/environment” require ‘fcgi\_handler’ RailsFCGIHandler.process!

What plugin are you using? Rfacebook or Facebooker? I highly recommend using Facebooker over Rfacebook. ---

why exactly do you highly recommend Facebooker over RFacebook, we are doing a site for facebook and are having a lot of trouble with the Rfacebook plugin, just wanting to find out if your problems are like ours.

using ajax first of all. facebook mangles the hell out of our ajax. also, we are using haml, and the syntax of fbml is making haml a little unhappy. But I’m not the lead dev on this project. I will check in with my colleague about the specifics and get back to you. On Feb 12, 2008 7:01 PM, Noha Mostafa [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)
