I am deploying a new rails application on a shared host (hostingrails) for the first time. My local app works great. However, Ajax requests in the deployed application are generating the following error:

/!\ FAILSAFE /!\ Fri Feb 15 08:44:59 -0600 2008   Status: 500 Internal Server Error   can't modify frozen string     /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/ action_controller/request.rb:462:in `gsub!'     /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/ action_controller/request.rb:462:in `clean_up_ajax_request_body!'     /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/ action_controller/request.rb:380:in `parse_formatted_request_parameters'     /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/ action_controller/cgi_process.rb:78:in `request_parameters'     /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/ action_controller/request.rb:287:in `parameters'     /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/ action_controller/request.rb:22:in `request_method'     /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/ action_controller/request.rb:35:in `method'     /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/ action_controller/routing.rb:1483:in `extract_request_environment'     /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/ action_controller/routing.rb:1424:in `recognize'     /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/ action_controller/dispatcher.rb:170:in `handle_request'     /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/ action_controller/dispatcher.rb:115:in `dispatch'     /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/ action_controller/dispatcher.rb:126:in `dispatch_cgi'     /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/ action_controller/dispatcher.rb:9:in `dispatch'     dispatch.cgi:10

Any help here would be great!

This seems to be FastCGI specific. The problem is gone on Mongrel.

I have the same issue on my ASO hosting. More and more I realize that if your gonna host an RoR site, shared hosting is not the way to go.
