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:


[Thu Mar 6 07:44:20 2008] [warn] FastCGI: (dynamic) server

to remain running for 30 seconds given 3 attempts, its restart interval has
been backed off to 600 seconds

-rw-r--r--   1 user user 1.6K Mar  4 08:46 routes.rb


Files in the config directory have all -rw-r--r-- (644), subdirectories have
755, the files in the environments subdirectory all have 644 permissions.

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.


Specs:
Centos 5 / Cpanel 11 / PHP 5 / MYSQL 5

FastCGI isn't recommended for Rails applications anymore, because there are no Open Source implementations of FastCGI that are consistently stable. I hit nasty issues with FastCGI very quickly myself, with both Rails and Django, and finally went with Django and mod_python.

I've just got the PDF of Deploying Rails Applications. It looks like the best guide that I've ever seen on deploying Web apps, and I'd recommend it to any one thinking about putting Rails into production use. The book is marked "beta" on the site, but the content is complete.
