He even went as far as to say that developing web applications in Java after working with Rails would probably not be a particularly pleasant experience for him.

Der Artikel dazu ist definitiv lesenswert.

Ein genereller Tipp ist: Keine “puts” in den Quelltext. fcgi mag das nicht.

Im confixx Admin die httpd Spezial zufügen:

AllowOverride All
Options +ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

Dann die Datei /etc/apache2/httpd.conf anpassen:

LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so

Die .htaccess:

# General Apache options
AddHandler fastcgi-script fcg fcgi fpl
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.cgi [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]

ErrorDocument 500 “Application error – Rails application failed to start properly”

Und die dispatch.fcgi:

#!/usr/bin/ruby1.8
#
# You may specify the path to the FastCGI crash log (a log of unhandled
# exceptions which forced the FastCGI instance to exit, great for debugging)
# and the number of requests to process before running garbage collection.
#
# By default, the FastCGI crash log is RAILS_ROOT/log/fastcgi.crash.log
# and the GC period is nil (turned off). A reasonable number of requests
# could range from 10-100 depending on the memory footprint of your app.
#
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + “/../config/environment”
require ‘fcgi_handler’

RailsFCGIHandler.process!

Hier ist eine ganz Beschreibung die recht gut ist.
