Problem with lighttpd

Rails
1

I have a problem with lighttpd on OSX.

Everything builds fine (and webrick runs just fine) but lighttpd barfs:

edward-kenworthys-computer:~/Development/Ruby/pricematic/trunk edward$
script/server
=> Booting lighttpd (use ‘script/server webrick’ to force WEBrick)
=> Rails application started on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server (see config/lighttpd.conf for options)

You can find out if it is the right one by executing ‘php -v’ and it
should display ‘(cgi-fcgi)’ in the output, NOT (cgi) NOR (cli)

Anyone have any ideas?

looks like you need to install/update rubygems or there’s something
wrong with your PATH,

Nope rubygems works fine and require ‘rubygems’ in irb works fine as
well.

Could you post the config/lighttpd.conf and the public/dispatch.fcgi
to help us help you. :slight_smile:

Of course. (I haven’t edited either). This is lighttpd.conf

Default configuration file for the lighttpd web server

Start using ./script/server lighttpd

server.bind = “0.0.0.0”
server.port = 3000

server.modules = ( “mod_rewrite”, “mod_accesslog”,
“mod_fastcgi”, “mod_compress”, “mod_expire” )

server.error-handler-404 = “/dispatch.fcgi”
server.document-root = CWD + “/public/”

server.errorlog = CWD + “/log/lighttpd.error.log”
accesslog.filename = CWD + “/log/lighttpd.access.log”

url.rewrite = ( “^/$” => “index.html”, “^([^.]+)$” =>
“$1.html” )

compress.filetype = ( “text/plain”, “text/html”, “text/css”,
“text/javascript” )
compress.cache-dir = CWD + “/tmp/cache”

expire.url = ( “/favicon.ico” => “access 3 days”,
“/images/” => “access 3 days”,
“/stylesheets/” => “access 3 days”,
“/javascripts/” => “access 3 days” )

Change *-procs to 2 if you need to use Upload Progress or other tasks

that

need to execute a second request while the first is still pending.

fastcgi.server = ( “.fcgi” => ( “localhost” => (
“min-procs” => 1,
“max-procs” => 1,
“socket” => CWD + “/tmp/sockets/fcgi.socket”,
“bin-path” => CWD + “/public/dispatch.fcgi”,
“bin-environment” => ( “RAILS_ENV” => “development” )
) ) )

mimetype.assign = (
“.css” => “text/css”,
“.gif” => “image/gif”,
“.htm” => “text/html”,
“.html” => “text/html”,
“.jpeg” => “image/jpeg”,
“.jpg” => “image/jpeg”,
“.js” => “text/javascript”,
“.png” => “image/png”,
“.swf” => “application/x-shockwave-flash”,
“.txt” => “text/plain”
)

Making sure file uploads above 64k always work when using IE or Safari

For more information, see http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/ticket/360

$HTTP[“useragent”] =~ “^(.MSIE.)|(.AppleWebKit.)$” {
server.max-keep-alive-requests = 0
}

And this is dispatch.fcgi

#!/usr/bin/ruby

You may specify the path to the FastCGI crash log (a log of unhandled

exceptions which forced the FastCGI instance to exit, great for

debugging)

and the number of requests to process before running garbage

collection.

By default, the FastCGI crash log is RAILS_ROOT/log/fastcgi.crash.log

and the GC period is nil (turned off). A reasonable number of

requests

could range from 10-100 depending on the memory footprint of your app.

Example:

# Default log path, normal GC behavior.

RailsFCGIHandler.process!

# Default log path, 50 requests between GC.

RailsFCGIHandler.process! nil, 50

# Custom log path, normal GC behavior.

RailsFCGIHandler.process! ‘/var/log/myapp_fcgi_crash.log’

require File.dirname(FILE) + “/…/config/environment”
require ‘fcgi_handler’

RailsFCGIHandler.process!

TIA for your help.

In the terminal. Write
which ruby

And that should give you the Ruby location. Use that in the dirst line
of your dispatch.fcgi

Thank you! That’s fixed it.
