I’m still attempting to get rforum set up on a shared host.
I’m attempting to follow the fastCGI instructions here:
http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/FastCGI
However, the instructions do not match what I see.
I’m supposed to change in public/dispatch.fcgi
The documentation says to change:
require ‘fcgi’
to:
require ‘rubygems’
require_gem ‘fcgi’
Of course, the closest thing I can find to that is:
require ‘fcgi_handler’
Can anyone recommend a current tutorial on how to setup FastCGI?
I don’t understand Apache and/or Rails enough to recognize what should
be changed and what should remain the same.
Seeking Confirmation about this as well:
I’m also curious about the changes I’m supposed to make the the
.htaccess file.
The wiki I’m following has the next step as
in public/.htaccess change
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /dispatch.cgi?$1 [QSA,L]
to
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /dispatch.fcgi?$1 [QSA,L]
To my understanding, I think the file that needs to be changed is
actually located in:
public_html/.htaccess
Confirmation that I’m correct about that is appreciated.
thanks,

All I know is I changed the former and it all works fine
I changed
require ‘fcgi_handler’
to:
require ‘rubygems’
require_gem ‘fcgi’
Now, I’m getting this error:
You don’t have permission to access /dispatch.fcgi/ on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use
an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I have checked the permissions and they’re 777
This actually brings up an interesting Topic.
What do the permissions for Rforum to run on a a shared host?
this is Home:
drwxr-x— 3 XXXXXX XXXXXX 4096 Dec 14 18:20 public_ftp

drwxr-xr-x 3 XXXXXX XXXXXX 4096 Jan 6 12:19 rforum
and here is an LS -LA for the Rforum app:

Are those permission correct?
Which need to be changed?
