Moving Rails apps from Windows to Linux

I had the exact same problem. After a bit of research I found that the dispatch file hashbangs (in all three dispatch.* files) were incorrect - they were pointing at my Windown install of Ruby!

1: If you create Rails projects on a Windows machine, you'll have to copy the hashbangs over from another project. You can copy the whole files if you like. 2: You'll have to set them as 'execute' as well as 'read/write' chmod 750 IIRC 3: If you create your Rails project on the deployment machine, you should be OK. Subversion my easily screw up the perms though.

Hope that's it! :slight_smile:

What are the advantages of Litespeed? I'm on Apache and Mongrels...

Ah. For a price.

I may look into this when the money starts rolling in...

I’d try 3 things:

script/console does it work?

script/about what does it say?

script/server webrick does it work?

Litespeed logs? Rails logs?

The log directory may give you some clues. Anything interesting in there?

Did you do the CHMOD?

Also, the video showing Litespeed install says that the dispatch files no longer need to be copied after a certain version. Have you got old code, needing a dispatch file copy?
