Hi,
I’m trying to get rails running on Debian stable with Apache 2,
mod_fcgid, Rails 1.0. The application works fine with webrick (*).
Let’s start here:
@eugene [/var/www/ls2/linuxsi/public] $ ./dispatch.fcgi
Status: 500 Internal Server Error
Seems to result in the following in the log files:
[12/Feb/2006:12:18:40 :: 4105] starting
[12/Feb/2006:12:18:40 :: 4105] terminated gracefully
so far, so good, I guess, although the ‘500’ isn’t very encouraging.
Let’s try it for real:
Application error
Rails application failed to start properly
Uh, ok… that’s not very informative, so let’s go look at the log
files:
development.log seems to indicate that things are ok from rails’ point
of view:

fastcgi seems less healthy though:
Logfile created on Sun Feb 12 12:24:01 CET 2006 by logger.rb/1.5.2.4
[12/Feb/2006:12:24:01 :: 4133] starting
[12/Feb/2006:12:24:06 :: 4133] asked to terminate immediately
[12/Feb/2006:12:24:06 :: 4133] terminated by explicit exit
Let’s back up a minute and make sure the web server is ok… yeah, it
serves up the rails app’s public/ files just fine.
What’s apache’s log file have to say about the fcgid error?
[Sun Feb 12 12:26:41 2006] [notice] mod_fcgid: server
/var/www/ls2/linuxsi/public/dispatch.fcgi(4162) started
[Sun Feb 12 12:26:46 2006] [error] [client 10.0.0.60] Premature end of
script headers: dispatch.fcgi, referer: http://linuxsi:13000/
[Sun Feb 12 12:26:53 2006] [notice] mod_fcgid: process
/var/www/ls2/linuxsi/public/dispatch.fcgi(4162) exit(communication
error), get stop signal 15
That doesn’t look good:-/
Here’s my .htaccess file:
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
At this point… I’m stumped.
