Help with rails lighttpd setup

Hi everyone -

I am running Rails on a Cent OS server that we access via remote. I do not want to set up a virtual server, rather have this server run on port 8080 so as not to disturb Apache running on port 80.

My config is below, but when I try to run a Rails app I get 404 errors. The initial Rails screen comes up, but if I create a sample app in the directory below I get 404 errors. I am hoping it is something as simple as a path is wrong and my tired eyes.

Thank you in advance!

Hi Stephen-

All my error.log file contains is server shutdown, no mention about
missing paths.

I also just checked my log files in /home/rails/test/log and all of
them are 0 bytes. Could I have a permission problem?

The lighttpd.error.log is nothing but server start and server stop.

Thanks!

Thanks for your help, I ended up installing mongrel with Apache and
it works like a charm.
