i give up 🙂

i read every possible page on this…hope someone will have answer  
here…

can’t seem to make rails with fastcgi run on ensim (fedora) server.  
runs nicely on my os x.

did everything said. even tried installing manually ruby-fcgi, but then  
rails gave me a 500 error.  
there is no error message when running dispatch.fcgi. it seems to be  
running fine, but i get the following error in fastcgi.crash.log, and  
the webpage doesn’t load:
