Hello,  
I try to install on my ubuntu ruby on rails server.  
I have install ruby,rails,gem and all files but doesn’t work.  
When i run the server with webrick works perfect but when i use apache  
i get this message:  
We’re sorry, but something went wrong.  
We’ve been notified about this issue and we’ll take a look at it  
shortly.

Here are my installed app versions:  
root@otpsrv:~# ruby -v  
ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i486-linux]  
root@otpsrv:~# rails -v  
Rails 1.2.3  
root@otpsrv:~# gem -v  
0.9.3

and my conf are:  
in .htaccess i have modify  
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi  
RewriteRule ^(.\*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]

in apache conf:  
\<VirtualHost \*:80\>  
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost  
ServerName test  
DocumentRoot /var/www/test/public  
ErrorLog /var/www/test/log/apache.log

```
    <Directory /var/www/test/public/>
            Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
            AllowOverride All
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
            AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
    </Directory>

```

in fcgid.load  
LoadModule fcgid\_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod\_fcgid.so

in fcgid.conf  
  
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi  
DefaultInitEnv RAILS\_ENV production  
SocketPath /var/lib/apache2/fcgid/sock  
IdleTimeout 60  
ProcessLifeTime 6000  
MaxProcessCount 32  
DefaultMaxClassProcessCount 2  
IPCConnectTimeout 6  
IPCCommTimeout 6

My apache version is 2.2.3 and this is the reason that all conf is  
separated in files.  
These are the settings.  
If someone can tellme where is the problemm.  
Thanks

We run Ubuntu server on all our servers, though with a slightly  
different setup than you. You might want to take a look at the  
Slicehost Wiki: [http://wiki.slicehost.com/](http://wiki.slicehost.com/) They have a lot of good  
links and tutorials.

Thanks  
I have done the configuration.  
The conf is ok ruby on rails is up and running.  
I didn’t install a library. This was the problem.  
Thanks anyway
