1.1RC and Lighttpd

Rails
1

I started what I thought was going to be a 30 minute project on the
train this morning to write a little timetracker for myself.

Amongst other things (don’t have a model called Task as it conflicts
with Rake at the moment, don’t have a model called Action as it
disappears in the hash when you submit a form :-), I had to use Webrick
as Lighty complained about an unknown variable CWD.

This looks to have been added to make the fcgi path absolute rather than
relative, but I get an error because it’s not set.

I can’t figure out how to do a fulltext search in Trac to see if it’s
been reported. A simple Browser find on the faults lists didn’t show up
‘CWD’ in the subject lines.

So any help on any of the following would be appreciated:

  1. Is this a known bug or should I report it? (rails fault list
    junkies?)
  2. Is it possible to do a fulltext search in Trac, if so, how ? (Trac
    experts ?)
  3. Is there a workaround? I suspect I just want to init th variable to
    RAILS_ROOT explicitly, but I’m not sure if the config file is missing an
    explicit variable set, or if CWD is a ‘magic’ variable thats just
    supposed to work, but isn’t. (Lighty users ?)

I’m on Tiger .5, using the 1.1RC gem, Ruby .4 and Lighty .7

Check your version of Lighty. I believe the CWD thing is fairly new,
grab the latest.

Thanks Scott. I was following the Hivelogic tutorial, so I suspect my
version (.8 rather than .7 as I originally posted) is out of date as I’d
have pasted the url rather than browsed for latest.

That sorted it. Thanks again.
