Trouble Running my app

Rails
1

Im having trouble running my app :frowning:

I get the error message application error rails failed to start
properly.

So not being a total idiot(I may regret saying that) i checked the
logs and there was a problem in the server log only. It stated
premature end to headers for dispatch.cgi

I then tried to run the dispatch.cgi from a terminal expecting to see
error 500 but instead i get this:

matt@as public]# ./dispatch.cgi
Status: 400 Bad Request
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.0/lib/active_support/

from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.1/lib/dispatcher.rb:51:in
`dispatch’
from ./dispatch.cgi:10

Which means nothing to me and google isn’t bringing anything up :frowning:

I have tried to reinstall rails and also updated gems and again no
luck:(

Any clues at all would be most helpful

Cheers in advance

Hi Matt,

Try the rails-deploy list with this question. It looks more like an
infrastructure question. Can you start any Rails app? If you haven’t
tried
it, just create a small table, then scaffold a model / controller on it
and
work up from there.

Sorry I can’t be more help.

Cheers Bill didn’t know such a place existed thanks.

Incidently I can get the scaffold working etc, and also can run the
webrick server too.

Just can’t run the main apache way.

Thanks again

as Bill said, try simple things first Matt.

build a new project, and serve that from apache.

If that doesn’t work, and it serves from webrick, then you’ve got an
apache config problem - which might include file permissions, etc.

If it does, then you’re likely dealing with an old (pre 1.2) project?
did you run “rake rails:update” - does your environment.rb set a
specific rails version to run?

narrowing down your scope of concerns, will help you post info that
can help us help you. The deploy list has a bunch of crazy-deploy-fu
people (who are likely here as well), but the signal-to-noise ratio
is higher there.
