My app was running fine with Linux, Apache2/Lighttpd and MySQL. I have a need to migrate to Windows, Apache2 and MS SQL. But I keep getting the following error when I load the initial home page. Anyone can please give me a pointer where to go next for troubleshooting? Thanks in advance.

My connectivity to MS SQL is good. My Apache start and stop fine. The only problem it seems is related to configuration. Somehow, the loading of all the application classes is not there. Is this configuration problem with Apache2? or configuration with Rail? If so, any hint where I should look? Thanks in advance. ---

That seems more like a Ruby type error. If it was Apache, you wouldn’t be seeing the error messages. MS-SQL, Ruby would complain about the connection or something being nil. ---

Some random throughts that might help… Is apache2 starting your fastcgi or are they running seperately? I could only get fastcgi to work on windows running outside apache. Perhaps you should look at your apache logs. Also have you tried running under cgi. Finally can you get the standard rails home page to work with a default app? ---

I tried to run it on WEBrick. Same result. I am using mod\_fastcgi with Apache2.

Just try it with mod\_cgi as well. Same result. Andrew P. wrote: > Some random throughts that might help… > > Is apache2 starting your fastcgi or are they running seperately?
