Good afternoon,
newbie question. I suppose that it must be a normal one when you are
beginning with ror, but i don´t find information to solve the problem.
The server in which i´m trying to run ror is a vps (virtual private
server) with virtuozzo. Everithing seems ok, and plesk says that ror
is correctly installed. In fact, i can execute and run everthing from /
opt/ruby/bin/.
The problem appears trying to port my app to apache. Everthing is
supossed to be correctly installed and configured (automagically by
plesk)... but i get this error:
#!/opt/ruby/bin/ruby

IIRC You need to add something like this to your apache config
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
Fred
Thanks for the answer. I have:
<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
</IfModule>
i´ve added
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
but nothing happened

What i said assumed you were running regular fastcgi, if you are
rgunning fcgcid then you've got the right thing.
The fact that you get the contents of dispatch.fcgi implies that it's
not picking it up for some reason, but it's been a long time since i
used fastcgi/fcgid so I'm out of ideas (a lot of people have moved
away from this, which may be why you can't find much on this (There is
some info at http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoSetupApacheWithFastCGIAndRubyBindings
but a lot of it seems quite old)
Fred
Make sure the she-bang line is correct for the server (which ruby)
Make sure dispatch.fcgi is executable (chmod +x dispatch.fcgi)
Jason
which ruby:
/usr/local/bin/ruby
dispatch is executable, no luck yet.
I have this line commented:
# Example:
# RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
if i uncomment i get the main html with an error:
About your application's environment
Application error
Rails application failed to start properly
wish it helps
That's getting somewhere - it's actually trying to execute stuff. In the past we've had problem like that when the user that the dispatch.fcgi was running under couldn't write session files (permissions problems) and stuff like that.
Fred
Change dispatch.fcgi:
#!/opt/ruby/bin/ruby
Should be
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby
Or as I prefer, a way that works on *nix systems:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
Jason
i´ve tested nearly all the posibilities (usr/local, env, ...) no luck

There's probably more than one thing wrong, but it sure as hell won't
work with the wrong shebang.
Fred
Well now that we know you’ve got the right permissions on the file, and the right shebang, what do your logs say?
Jason
What do you mean with shebang (sorry, newbie)? The logs on the apache
directory doesn´t say anything... strange, isn´t it? I´ll check it for
apache logs.
