Problem with deploying a facebook application

Rails Deployment
1

Hi all,
M having a problem deploying a ruby on rails application on the
production server tthough I’ve successfully deployed another 1 on the
same before, and though the neww app is successfully running on the
developer’s server.

After lots of trials, setting files permissions, configuring
enviroment.rb to point to the server’s rails version , configuring the
ruby path in dispatch.fcgi, , I get the bowser error, “Something Went
Wrong”. Checking the fastcgi.crash.log file I find the following error:

[31/Jan/2008:16:00:58 :: 11562] Dispatcher failed to catch: private

my new dispatch.fcgi file content is:

require File.dirname(FILE) + “/config/environment”
require ‘fcgi_handler’

RailsFCGIHandler.process!

Some1 plz advise as m starting to turn crazy, the only diff between this
app and the older is that it contains facebook pluging but the plugin is
properly located in the vendor folder, and all it’s related errors are
now fixed!!

Any1 has any clue??!!

What plugin are you using? Rfacebook or Facebooker? I highly recommend
using Facebooker over Rfacebook.

why exactly do you highly recommend Facebooker over RFacebook, we are
doing
a site for facebook and are having a lot of trouble with the Rfacebook
plugin, just wanting to find out if your problems are like ours.

using ajax first of all. facebook mangles the hell out of our ajax.
also,
we are using haml, and the syntax of fbml is making haml a little
unhappy.
But I’m not the lead dev on this project. I will check in with my
colleague
about the specifics and get back to you.
