LinuxQuestions.org - Ruby / Fastcgi Problem

I tried to install my rails application. However it does not work
properly (the rails welcome screen's "About your application
environment" link gives a "Application error Rails application failed
to start properly" message), and the error log shows plenty of FastCGI
warnings and fcg incomplete header errors:

Files in the config directory have all -rw-r--r-- (644), subdirectories have

Owner is username, group is username in all cases.

I have now changed the shebang line of dispatch.fcgi from:
#!/usr/bin/ruby to
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby
I also did this with the dispatch.rb and the dispatch.cgi

The issue continues and I'm finding it rather difficult to trace the immediate
cause of this fastcgi module issue. Your assistance is appreciated.
