Downloads dispatch.fcgi for every request!

Rails
1

Hi All, has anyone ever seen it when they vist the URL in the applicaion
that it just tries to download the FCGI dispatch file?

Im running FC3, Lighttpd1.4.11, Rails 1.1.2 and FastCGI.

i run IRB and get…

irb(main):001:0> require ‘fcgi.so’
=> true

irb(main):001:0> require ‘fcgi’
=> true

On the default rails install page ‘riding on rails’… it should display
the server details about your enviroment, but it doesnt execute the FCGI
i dont think. As it doesnt display the info, but at the same time it
doesnt error either.

Has anyone got any ideas? im a bit stuck!!

thanks

tim

Show us the lighty config, and make sure dispatch.fcgi is
executable.

The lighty config is…

var.basedir = “/var/www/sites/”

$SERVER[“socket”] == “101.0.0.171:80” {

var.servername = “stage.butlerandtanner.com”

server.document-root = basedir + servername + “/public/”

rewrite rules for rails

url.rewrite = ( “^/$” => “index.html”, “^([^.]+)$” => “$1.html” )
server.error-handler-404 = “/dispatch.fcgi”

fastcgi.server = (
basedir + servername + “/public/dispatch.fcgi” =>
( “localhost” =>
( “socket” => basedir + servername + “/tmp/sockets/fcgi.socket”,
“min-procs” => 2,
“max-procs” => 4,
“max-load-per-proc” => 2,
“bin-path” => basedir + servername + “/public/dispatch.fcgi”,
“bin-environment” => ( “RAILS_ENV” => “production” )
)
)
)

}

The dispatch.fcgi is chmod to 755

Any ideas?

thanks

Additionaly… if i run the fcgi file from the command line, i get an
error as you would expect

[root@localhost www]# ruby
/var/www/sites/stage.butlerandtanner.com/public/dispatch.fcgi
Status: 500 Internal Server Error
Content-Type: text/html

Application error

Change this error message for exceptions thrown outside of an action (like in Dispatcher setups or broken Ruby code) in public/500.html

[root@localhost www]#
