Comments on: Apache and FastCGI Setup http://www.mmrobins.com/2005/12/apache-and-fastcgi-setup/ Thu, 16 May 2013 20:35:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.6 By: mmrobins http://www.mmrobins.com/2005/12/apache-and-fastcgi-setup/comment-page-1/#comment-47 mmrobins Fri, 06 Jan 2006 01:49:21 +0000 http://www.mmrobins.com/?p=187#comment-47 Now that I look back on it, my solution my not even be what did it, but I tried a TON of stuff beforehand. I wish I had documented better what all it was, but I basically just scoured Google for the error messages.

You might try instant rails as I think they have scgi built in. Also fcgi could soon be integrated into Apache by default.

Until then, here’s how I setup those files you requested:

httpd.conf – I’m using and alias instead of a virtual host since I want my rails app to work as a subdirectory of my web server’s root

Alias /tooltime "C:/rails/tooltime/public/"

Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Allow from all
Order allow,deny
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
Here's everything in my .htaccess. I commented out the AddHandler stuff since I put it in my httpd.conf

RewriteBase /tooltime
RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]

I don't think I changed anything in my dispatch.fcgi except the first line where you point to your local ruby installation

#!c:/ruby/bin/rubyw.exe
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../config/environment"
require 'fcgi_handler'

RailsFCGIHandler.process!

I deleted dispatch.cgi, and dispatch.rb but no take.. so im wondering if you could post a couple of you config files here. httpd… i wanna see how you set up the virtual host… dispatch.fcgi … .htaccess

if you don’t mind please post those details..

Hi Matt,
Just following the highlights of your blog and realized this one is for a different audience than myself, though your trial and error approach is commendable and successful.
