Problem with Apache 2 and mod_fcgid

Hi,

I have a problem with Apache 2 and mod_fcgid.

In fact, it seems there are correctly installed and configured: my rails application works (see http://www.cedrich.be/index ) ... but the stylesheets aren't loaded.

The generated url ( <%= stylesheet_link_tag "styles", :media => "all" %> ) looks correct.

But when I try to access the stylesheet (see http://www.cedrich.be/stylesheets/styles.css ), I have a HTTP 500 error (internal server error).

** Apache 2 ( under FreeBSD 6) configuration:

LoadModule fcgid_module libexec/apache2/mod_fcgid.so <IfModule mod_fcgid.c> AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi SocketPath /tmp/fcgi_ipc DefaultInitEnv RAILS_ENV production IdleTimeout 600 ProcessLifeTime 3600 MaxProcessCount 8 IPCConnectTimeout 60 IPCCommTimeout 60 </IfModule>

** Virtual host configuration :

<VirtualHost *:80>         DocumentRoot /var/www/cedric/www.cedrich.net/public/         ServerName www.cedrich.be         CustomLog /var/log/bepolytech/cedrich combined         ErrorLog /var/log/bepolytech/cedrich.error

        <Location />         AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi

        RewriteEngine On         RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]         RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]         RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f         RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L] </Location>

        ErrorDocument 500 /500.html         ErrorDocument 404 /404.html

        <Directory "/var/www/cedric/www.cedrich.net/public/">         SetHandler fcgid-script         Options Indexes +FollowSymlinks +ExecCGI         AllowOverride all         Order allow,deny         Allow from all         </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

** And my public/.htaccess (uncommented lines):

AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA] RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.cgi [QSA,L]

Could you help me ?

Thanks !

I think all non-rails URL's ( like http://www.cedrich.be/images/rails.png ) are wrong ( HTTP 500 error).

It's weird :s

hi cedric

in .htaccess u have to put RewriteRule ^(.)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L] not RewriteRule ^(.)$ dispatch.cgi [QSA,L]

also this is weird u should check again if files are uploaded

also why did u copy and paste .htaccess rules in the apache config, u should put it in only one place

Hi

My .htaccess is now correct and I removed the rules from apache config. And the files are uploaded...

I don't understand how to successfully configure apache and fcgid ... grrrrr ....

I would *highly* recommend using mongrel instead.

http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/

Yes but the server where I host my ror application hosts some other websites ( php, etc) ... I could try with an apache proxi server, and mongrel but it's more complicated.

Correction: it's not as complicated as I though:

http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/apache.html

http://nanoweb.si.kz/ <-- The PHP kind of like mongrel sort of thingy you could probably use.

It's actually pretty fast, and it'd make your php apps get inline with the theme of "just use http". But, I haven't actually used it.
