Manually running dispatch.fcgi fails

Rails
1

I’m a newbie trying to setup lighttpd. It is failing with error 500.

I tried running dispatch.fcgi by hand and I’m getting:

./dispatch.fcgi

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:200:in
`const_missing’: uninitialized constant RailsFCGIHandler (NameError)
from ./dispatch.fcgi:24

Not sure how to proceed from here.

Thanks

From one noob to another, I think this may be a red herring. What does
your dispatch.fcgi look like? What’s your environment? I was getting
this error as well, and I believe it was because my dispatch.fcgi did
not just say

require ‘fcgi_handler’

, instead using

require ‘rubygems’
require_gem ‘fcgi’

Ignoring comments my entire dispatch.fcgi file is:

#!/usr/bin/ruby
require File.dirname(FILE) + “/…/config/environment”
require ‘fcgi_handler’

RailsFCGIHandler.process!

Can you run your dispatch.fcgi from the command line?
