Hi Everyone,

I already installed Ruby 1.8.4 preview 4 + mod\_fastcgi + mod\_ruby on  
Win XP box and configured the httpd.conf. Looks like something wrong  
there on eruby-run or somewhere, the cgi Ruby script is successfully  
executed, but I got some errors while running a .rhtml (aka eRuby  
script). Here the errors snipped from the Apache error log.

[Tue Jun 20 19:47:40 2006] [notice] FastCGI: process manager initialized  
[Tue Jun 20 19:47:42 2006] [error] mod\_ruby: failed to require  
apache/eruby-run  
[Tue Jun 20 19:47:42 2006] [error] mod\_ruby: error in ruby  
[Tue Jun 20 19:47:42 2006] [error] mod\_ruby:  
C:/System/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/apache/eruby-run.rb:45:in  
`require’: no such file to load – eruby (LoadError)  
[Tue Jun 20 19:47:42 2006] [error] mod\_ruby: from  
C:/System/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/apache/eruby-run.rb:45

Could someone help me and give some clues?

Thanks,

never tried it on windows, but first, I’d make sure that you have an  
euby.rb/so/dll whatever somewhere in your ruby library path.  
Did you make sure the following was in httpd.conf? I know I forgot  
it the first time around:

RubyRequire apache/ruby-run  
RubyRequire apache/eruby-run  
RubyRequire apache/eruby-debug (optional)

No such eruby.rb/so/dll here.

Yes, those all already in httpd.conf, a problem come while apache  
first run on something in apache/eruby-run.rb, any idea?

Thanks,

I expect you’ll need the same (.bundle could be a darwin thing  
though, I don’t know). If you installed from source, was your –  
prefix correct?  
I don’t know how ruby or mod\_ruby get their pathing information.  
Maybe someone else can help there.
