Re: [PhillyOnRails] deploying to a shared host - cry for help
|
Not so sure about freezing rails, but based on your stack trace I highly
doubt that's the problem. It's a little difficult to track this down
without something to poke and prod, but I'd suggest you kill off all
your dispatch.fcgi processes, make sure they're down with a kill -9,
shut down apache, and go over all your configuration with a fine toothed
comb. More than likely there's a small mistake somewhere that is
causing the problem.
If all your configs look to be in order, try this environment
troubleshooting script from
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoSetupApacheWithFastCGIAndRubyBindings:
*
*
*Troubleshooting Suggestions*
Make sure that you delete any ruby session files in your /tmp directory
before switching to dispatch.fcgi. If you tested with cgi, there might
be some with different permission that what apache (fastcgi) can read
and will cause issue.
If you want to see if fastcgi is working with ruby, try pasting the
following into test.fcgi (in your rails/public dir). You will need to
make sure the file has 755 permissions (chmod 755 test.fcgi).
|
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby
require 'cgi'
require 'rubygems'
require_gem 'fcgi'
FCGI.each_cgi do |cgi|
content = ''
env = []
cgi.env_table.each do |k,v|
env << [k,v]
end
env.sort!
env.each do |k,v|
content << %Q(#{k} => #{v}<br>\n)
end
cgi.out{content}
end
|
That will give you a dump of the environment supplied to ruby and it
might just be enough to figure out whats going wrong. Good luck.

Any ideas on how I can fix it? Also - shouldn't it be reading
action_controller from vendor/rails if I froze my gems? not
/usr/lib... ?

Looks like either apache or fastCGI isn't supplying rails with the
