Hello All, I’m working my way through jake’s radiant to textdrive  
article. I have requested/recieved a littpd port. I have gone  
through the whole textdrive ‘how to start a rails app’ tutorial. I  
almost done except I’m stuck on the last step. Starting up my radiant  
app. with the required rails.sh file. Here is the contents of the  
rails.sh file:

#!/bin/sh

### Script for starting your Rails applications

# Replace USERNAME with your TextDrive user name

USER=USERNAME

# This is for your main domain. Replace APPNAME with the appropriate

value  
RAILS\_ENV=production /usr/local/bin/spawn-fcgi -f /users/home/$USER/  
web/public/dispatch.fcgi -s /users/home/$USER/var/run/radiant-0.socket

# This is for your secondary domain(s). Uncomment it (remove the #) if

# you have a secondary domain and replace YOUROTHERDOMAINNAME and

# OTHER-APPNAME.

# 

# RAILS\_ENV=production /usr/local/bin/spawn-fcgi -f /users/home/$USER/

domains/YOUROTHERDOMAINNAME.com/web/public/dispatch.fcgi -s /users/  
home/$USER/var/run/OTHER-APPNAME-0.socket

# For each additional domain and application, just copy and paste the

above

# and replace the appropriate values to create another configuration

entry.

The issue I ran into last night was when I tried to start up radiant  
with ~/etc/rc.d/rails.sh I get the following error:

[USERNAME@howe ~]$ chmod 750 ~/etc/rc.d/rails.sh  
[USERNAME@howe ~]$ ~/etc/rc.d/rails.sh  
/users/home/USERNAME/web/public/dispatch.fcgi: !/usr/local/bin/ruby:  
not found  
/users/home/USERNAME/web/public/dispatch.fcgi: 21: Syntax error: “(”  
unexpected  
spawn-fcgi.c.211: child exited with: 2, No such file or directory  
I’ve zipped up the files for you.

Regards,  
-Anthony

Anthony,  
You need to edit the file, and, as it says in the header of the file,  
change  
USERNAME into your username.  
Regards,  
Jake.
