I have Ruby on Rails setup on a server using the guide for cPanel from  
the wiki at the RoR main site, but it does not work properly.

I ran the test.fcgi file I found on a page on the wiki and it just  
loops. The default test controller dispatch.fcgi also loops.

I see a FastCGI error along the lines of “has failed to remain running  
for 30 seconds given 3 attempts, its restart interval has been backed  
off to 600 seconds” in Apache error log.

I have RoR installed correctly from what I can see as WebRick works  
perfect, it’s just that Apache & FastCGI cannot seem to utilize the RoR  
framework.

Does anybody have any ideas about this?

Thanks!
