InstanRails is looking really good!

It would be handy to have the mysql/bin directory added to the PATH  
when a new console window is opened in the InstantRails environment.

Thanks!

Yes, you're right, I'll do that in the next release. I didn't think of
that because I tend not to use the mysql command line utilities (but
I'm probably atypical).

Almost too trivial to mention, but...

In the top-level 'I-bar' manager application [InstantRails.exe],
Help/About still reports that this is 'pre1'.

On the wiki, at the top level, Latest News doesn't
mention pre3.


More positively, I can confirm that the problem with
mis-setting PATH when using Manage Rails Applications /
Create New Rails App  has been fixed.

I need to make myself a checklist for creating a new version. Thanks
for reporting this. It is small, but I do want to avoid stuff like
this.

Suppose I want to make an Instant Rails installation my ONLY
installation of Ruby.

Suppose I've got personal customizations to the ../ruby directory
tree - installed RubyGems, added .so libraries, tweaked
testrunners in Test::Unit, etc.

How would I go about rolling over those changes from one release
of Instant Rails to the next as automatically and elegantly as
possible?

Its an excellent question that I don't (yet) have an answer for. I
know that this is a problem that begs for a solution (or at least for
some assistance), but I haven't yet had the bandwidth to think about
it.

I'm open to suggestions!  :-)

A possible answer to my own query.

What I'm doing at the moment is just keeping a directory that
holds copies of what I want to preserve, from which I make copies
into the appropriate places in the renewed InstRails directory
tree. That could be automated with a Windows .bat file or a
.rb script

Looking for a solution that keeps this within the Ruby family, I
guess that Rake could be used to do the distribution of files
to their final locations? For a small (say <10) number of
files or subdirectories a rakefile could be built and maintained
'by hand' - after that it might get a bit unwieldy? Q: can
rake safely invoke gem to keep a set of gems updated?

This is from someone new to Ruby - I've never fired up
Rake, so this is all speculative - guidance based on
experience would be welcome.

Or, perhaps, an upgrade script written in ruby (or rake/ruby) could
analyze  the changes that have been made in the Instant Rails
directory tree (this would require me to include a manifest of all the
files in the dirstribution and their original timestamps) and would
offer to copy all new or modified files to a new installation. It
could be smart enough to know certain files may require hand-merging.
I could even include WinMerge in the distribution and use it to open
such files for merging.

Synchronicity strikes again!

You said:

"I could even include WinMerge "

Until earlier today I hadn't heard of WinMerge. It popped up on
lifehacker.com this morning, and I had pushed it onto my stack
of 'possibly useful tools to look at sometime'.

I've now popped it off that stack and looked at it. Handy! I think
that solves my problem for now, thanks.

Incidentally, I had considered the 'copy all missing files to the
new installation' option but had discounted doing it unilaterally,
(ie. 'mindlessly') because there might be times when re-instating
a file that has been deliberately deleted might be the Wrong
Thing To Do. (eg Version 'minus one' might have needed a
config file to force some unusual options to cope with some
immature code. Now the code is good the default options
become the correct ones. Dropping the previous config options
back in might break the behaviour of the new code.)

PS: apologies for the inappropriate suggestion about starting
FreeRIDE - I didn't realise until earlier today that it is another
of the projects that you are involved in. <Blush>

Message-ID: <31d15f490511071211j2a194700w313c2d78aea0b1fc@mail.gmail.com>

Its been a little over three weeks since I released the first preview
of Instant Rails. In that time there have been over 3,000 downloads,
but very little little feedback.

This tells me either that it is not being used (which would be bad) or
that it is being used but no one is having any significant problems
(which would be very good). So, if you are using it, but are just not
having any problems, I'd like to here from you just to get that
feedback.

The final 1.0 release for Instant Rails will be sometime after the
first of the year because I want it to include the released version of
Ruby 1.8.4 and the final release of Rails 1.0.

My plans also include upgrading to Apache 2 (currently it contains
Apache 1.3.33) as well as a more recent release of MySQL. Please help
me with a couple of decisions/priorities here:

1) Is moving to Apache 2 important to you, or or you happy with Apache
1.3.33 for the time being?

2) Should MySQL be upgraded to the latest 4.x release (currently
4.1.15) or would you prefer it be upgraded to 5.0.x?

Thanks,
Curt

Curt,

I'm using the application successfully and have been very pleased with
it's ease of use.  It has helped me to understand Ruby and Ruby on
Rails, as I am new to this environement.

As to your question, I'm ok with Apache 1.  I'd prefer MySQL to be
upgraded to 5.x

Thanks again,
Clint

Instant Rails is a one-stop Rails runtime solution containing Ruby, Rails,
Apache, and MySQL, all preconfigured and ready to run. No installer, you
simply drop it into the directory of your choice and run it. It does not
modify your system environment. This release of Instant Rails for Windows,
but there are plans for ports to Linux, BSD, and OSX.

The Instant Rails home page has links for downloading and getting started
with Instant Rails:

http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/

If you already have Instant Rails installed, then be sure to read the upgrade
instructions:

http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?How_To_Upgrade

Preview5 only changes one thing: Rails has been updated
to 1.0 Release Candidate 4 (aka 0.14.3).

Preview4 was not announced and also only changed one thing:
when you select the "Open Ruby Console Window" menu command,
the resulting console window now has ...\mysql\bin on the path.


Instant Rails -- Change Log
===========================

2005-11-08: Instant Rails 1.0 preview5

* Upgraded Rails to Rails 1.0: The Release Candidate 4 (aka 0.14.3)


2005-11-01: Instant Rails 1.0 preview4

* Added mysql\bin to the path in console windows.


2005-10-27: Instant Rails 1.0 preview3

* Upgraded Rails to Rails 1.0: The Release Candidate 3 (aka 0.14.2)

* Upgraded to SCGI Rails Runer 0.4.3

* Added "fxri" to the help menu.

* Fixed a problem where console windows were being opened in the
wrong current directory. This meant that ruby\bin wasn't being
put on the path which, in turn, meant you couldn't execute the
"gem" or "rails" commands.

* Fixed several minor problems.

* Created this change log! Also, added a ToDo.txt file.

It looks like this is a Rails bug. I just duplicated this under both Instant
Rails and the One-Click Ruby Installer for Windows. I'll go report this.

There's already an open ticket for this Rails bug:

Thanks so much for all of your hard work and I'm
really using it.  Just added Typo 2.5.8, created an
installer to drop it on other windows boxes (doubles
as a backup), working with Rails plugins, and lots of
other things as they come up.

There's one thing I think that would add to the ease
of use and that would be to add a third button that
links directly to "Manage Rails Apps".  Just a little
quicker to start an app...

Overall, the ease of use has been fantastic.  The best
thing since rails itself for Windows!

I'm would vote for the current versions of Apache and
MySQL if that version of Instant Rails works as good
as this one.

Hi,

I'm using Version 1.0 preview 5 and I'm this error from ActiveRecord:

Lost connection to MySQL server during query

This happens with both Apache and WEBrick.  Would this have something
to do with the Ruby MySQL driver?

I'm not sure, but I know its not specific to Instant Rails, because I've
seen postings to the Rails ML about this (although I haven't read them to
know any more details). Check out this:

http://search.gmane.org/?query=mysql+lost+connection&group=gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rails

and if you can't find an answer there, post you query to the Rails ML.

I am using Instant Rails 1.0 preview5 on a Windows XP Pro machine. I am
building a small application based on Curt Hibbs' excellent tutorial Rolling
with Ruby on Rails.

I have created all the folders for an application named jauth here -
F:\InstantRails\rails_apps\jauth I then generated my_test_controller.rb in
the folder F:\InstantRails\rails_apps\jauth\app\controllers and edited the
same to add an index method. Here's the code -
class MyTestController < ApplicationController
def index
render_text="Hello World"
end
end

I then call in my Firefox browser the url -
http://127.0.0.1:3000/My_Test/after which I get an error -
Template is missing
Missing template ./script/../config/../app/views/my_test/index.rhtml

I am unable to proceed further. All help highly appreciated.

Try adding index explicitly by browsing to:

http://127.0.0.1:3000/My_Test/index

I'm not sure if this will make a difference. If not post you question to the
Rails mailing list (perhaps something has changed in most recent versions of
Rails).

Hello Curt,

Thanks for your quick response. However, I tried what you suggested, but
that too does not work. I shall post to the mailing list.

Hello Curt,

One thing I completely forgot - I kept getting the same error even with
Instant Rails version 1.0 preview 2 too. This could mean that I am making
some mistake. Any pointers?

Thanks and regards,

Is there a way to change InstantRails do a different port than 80?  I
tried changing the httpd.conf file's listen port, but that didn't
work.

That's what I get for being an apache newbie.  I saw the LISTEN
section, but skipped the PORT section.  It's all good now.

Make sure you are opening the apache configuration file through the Instant
Rails menu "Configure >> Apache". And then change both the "Listen 80" and
"Port 80" directives to the port you want.

When you save it, Instant Rails should automatically restart the apache
server, but if you want to sure sure you can manually stop and then restart
apache.

As a test, I just ran through those steps myself, changing the port to 82,
and it worked just fine for me.

Subject: [Instantrails-users] new user; getting some errors
Message-ID: <200511142346.jAENkl05031378@rubyforge.org>

Hey there, I'm a newbie to Ruby and Rails. Curious issues with InstantRails.

 

I unzip and put everything directly on my C drive. I start InstantRails and
it updates it's conf stuff. I then update my host file and go to
www.mycookbook.com <http://www.mycookbook.com/>  and get the following
error:

 

Application error (Apache)

 

Change this error message for exceptions thrown outside of an action (like
in Dispatcher setups or broken Ruby code) in public.500.html

 

 

I also try to go and create a new rails app and I get this error:

 

C:/InstantRails/ruby/bin/rails:9:in `require`: No such file to load -
rubygems

(Load Error)

            From C:/InstantRails/ruby/bin/rails/:9

 

 

I've tried snooping around online but this is all pretty new so there's not
a lot of docs yet.

 

Ideas?

 

Thanks,

Kyle

You probably haven't started the SCGI application server for the cookbook
application:


   - In the main menu, select Rails Applications > Manage Rails
   Applications...


   - Check the checkbox next to the cookbook application.


   - Click on the Start SCGI button. A minimized console window will
   appear. This contains the cookbook web app running through an SCGI server.


   - Wait a few seconds to make sure the cookbook web app is fully
   initialized (nothing is displayed in the console window). Open your browser
   and go to:

I get the same error as I do when I create a new rails app.

 

. in `require`: No such file to load - rubygems (LoadError) from .

 

I guess I need to track down why this one is happening.

I was going through the "building a blog in 15 minutes with rails" and
was wondering what editor application was launched with the command "e
.".  I know what the period means, but what Editor is "e" opening up? 
I like the way it autocompletes various portions of the code.

That was done on OSX using TextMate, which is an OSX only text editor.

Make sure you are opening your console window via Instant Rails menu (Rails
Applications >> Open Ruby Console Window), or click on the "Create New Rails
App" button (they both do the same thing). This opens a console window that
has ruby\bin on the path.

Alternately, if you don't have any other copy of Ruby installed, you can
just add ...\ruby\bin on your system path. Then you can open a console
window any way you like.

Man, I'm running into one thing after another with InstantRails. Either the
download is missing a few things or else my configuration is off. I'm going
to guess it's the later of the two.

 

So I download, unzip, and start it and it should update everything on it's
own, right?

 

Then why is mine not finding rubygems? I install that manually and then it
can't find zlib. So I install that manually and then it can't find scgi
stuff. So install that manually and now it can't rind RubyGem rails.

 

Good lord, how did I create such a train wreck with this simple install?

 

Kyle

Here is what I did to get InstantRails working.  If you want to try
this way, and haven't already created a bunch of stuff, I would
suggest deleting your existing InstantRails install.

1.  I downloaded the zip file
2.  I unzipped the zip file
3.  I moved the folder "InstantRails" to the root of my drive
4.  I double clicked "InstantRails.exe" and clicked OK
5.  I followed the instructions in the README for getting the
www.mycookbook.com app running
6.  Tested in the web browser.

That should work for you.  let us know :)

It is easy to overlook (I know, because I have done it!) the Second of
the instructions under Install and Verify:

 " Make sure the installation path does not contain any space characters "

That rules out using "C:\Program Files\" , for example.

(I assume that the directory path rewriting that is carried out when
Instant Rails spots that its installation directory has changed gets
confused by the spaces in such strings, and produces an installation
where some of the paths are invalid. It's not a bug, it's a documented
feature!)

Following the instructions worked like a champ. Go figure. ?!?

Specifically it was running the WEBrick servlet. That made everything work
right away. Previously I was just starting Apache and MySQL and hitting the
URL. And then I started chasing that error never realizing that I really
needed to start something else. I'm so accustomed to PHP that it didn't dawn
on me to run anything else. 

I have a lot to learn about the whole system.

Thanks for the help,
Kyle

The problem is with one of the components in Instant Rails that can't handle
paths with spaces. Unfortunately, I can't remember who the culprit was.

In any case, I just realized that Instant Rails should check for this and
warn you. I'll add this to my todo list.

Hi Instant Rails Users,
  
  I was working with typo themes and the graphics for each theme wasn't showing.
  
  The httpd.conf file needs another adjustment so that themes in typo  will work.  Remove the "images" from the "don't use SCGI" section  below.  I had removed the "stylesheets" earlier.
  
  Hope this helps anyone using Instant Rails and Typo.

Thanks for posting this. I'm planning to include typo as a preinstaled
sample app in Instant Rails, and your experience will definitely save me a
bunch of time.

On that note.... I'm working with a couple others on a problem related to typo
and scgi... Either some routing code has to be rewritten or some other patch to
make caching work with scgi.  If you mount scgi on the root url:

SCGIMount / 127.0.0.1:9999

then all requests are passed into SCGI, and cached pages are not scooped up by
the webserver correctly. No caching! ack!

The workaround is to mount SCGI on a sub-folder:

SCGIMount /scgi-bin/ 127.0.0.1:9998

and then use mod_rewrite to map things over if the file doesn't exist:

RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /scgi-bin/$1 [QSA,L]

But now all your application urls have a /scgi-bin/ prefix on them, so you have
to mess with routes to clean it up.  A messy business for typo, because it uses
quite a few routes.

What I propose, but haven't  figured out yet, is some sort of
map.base_path('/scgi-bin') that would automatically be stripped out of the
request string before further processing.

Message-ID: <005101c5eb0c$9dd69d70$6501a8c0@denali>

Hi,
 
Thanks for your tips on getting Typo running in Instant Rails.  I'm JUST
getting my feet wet and Instant Rails has been great!  I've just set up Typo
2.6.0 in Instant Rails preview5 and I've been to resolve all my issues so
far with your advice.
 
I wanted to follow up that when I removed "images" from the "don't use SCGI"
section it did fix the problem with the theme graphics, but it broke the
graphics for the admin pages!
 
I'm still wrapping my head around all this and but it seems that if instead
of removing 'images' from the list, I change it to 'images/admin' then the
graphics work on both the admin pages and the blog itself.
 
Not sure that's the best fix (indeed I'm not really sure what I did!), but a
fix nonetheless.
 
Thanks,
 
Eric

Message-ID: <20051117012508.65953.qmail@web52902.mail.yahoo.com>

Hi,
  
  Well, my first atempt to fixing the theme's graphics issues has caused more
  trouble.  Without lots of messing typo, it doesn't work!.  The public/images folder
  MUST be excluded from SCGI, but not the "images" folders under the themes folder.
  
  So, another attempt:
  
  <LocationMatch ^/(public/images|javascript|javascripts|pics|pic2|audio|pdf|[^/]+\.[^/]+$)>
          # don't handle those with SCGI
          SCGIHandler Off
      </LocationMatch>
  
  Notice the "public/images" above.  This excludes the static images in
  Typo, but allows the "images" under the themes to be served by
  SCGI and the rails routing.  Hopefully, this fixes the themes graphics and doesn't
  break ALL of the static image links in Typo.
  
  P.S. If you are using themes other than the Typo default, you'll need to
         fix the layout/default.rhtml file to match the updated one in the 
         default theme (azure).

 Hi,
  
  I've changed the location of the cache files in Typo.  It was putting all
  of the files in the public folder and this seemed to cause issues with
  blog serving wrong files.
  
  /config/environment.rb
  After the last line in the above file I added:
  
  ActionController::Base.page_cache_directory = "cache"
  
  This puts all of the cached files in a new folder, /cache and gets them
  out of the public folder.
  
  Does this help with the caching?

OK, OK, OK....
  
  First, the admin isn't working, then the blog isn't working.
  
  The issue, two images folders, one in public and one in the theme.
  
  Here are the Third Try steps:
  
  1) From a previous older post
  To get the admin stylesheet to work with a theme
    a) Move public/stylesheets/admin.css to themes/azure/stylesheets
    b) Edit /config/routes.rb and add the following line
       to the file:
    
  map.connect 'stylesheets/:filename', :controller => 'theme', :action => 'stylesheets'
  
  ( I added the above at line 60 in the file)
  
  2) Change ALL image refs in themes/azure/stylesheets/azure.css
  OLD
   url(../../images
  
  NEW
   url(../../theme_images
  
  This avoids the conflict with the "images" in the httpd.conf file.
  
  3) Revert the httpd.conf file back to:

  Once again, I am eager to see what others have come up with while working
  with Typo.  Did the above really solve the theme issues?
  
  My Typo blog appears, now,  to be working correctly, but that may not mean much...

This is normal behaviour, or supposed to be; caching is done by the webserver
serving files directly without calling the scgi/rails environment.

Changing that does not help with caching unless some other fancy rewriiting
rules are used. (If possible)

How is it serving the wrong files?

In the main Instant Rails main menu choose "Configure >> Apache". This will
bring up apache's httpd.conf file in notepad. Then search for and change the
port number specified in both the "Listen" and "Port" directives. That
should do it.

I'm posting this to the Instant Rails mailing list. Does anybody have clue
what might be going on here?

Yeah I did that. I changed it to port 8080 since it says 80 is being
used which I know it isn't. I got the same issue. Apache will not
start from InstantRails.

Hi David,
  
  Currently, at the top of my cache folder are the following folders/files:
  
  articles (folder)
  images (folder)
  stylesheets (folder)
  index.html
  
  Before the change, like above, a cached index.html file was stored in the app's
  public folder and served up even when there were new posts to the blog.
  
  It was driving me crazy, the site seemed to frozen in time.
  
  This occurred back in Typo 2.5.6 and may not be the case any more.
  
  Another thing I like about having ALL of the cache file in one place is that I can
  delete them by hand and not worry about deleting something needed by the blog.
  
  I'm also going to add the cache folder to the list for no SCGI, just in case
  that might be an issue.  This may not be needed, but its my nature.
  
  Please post any updates on the caching issues.  I'm not up to speed
  on the rewriting rules or apache, in general.  Love to learn more.

This is normal behaviour, or supposed to be; caching is done by the webserver
serving files directly without calling the scgi/rails environment.

Changing that does not help with caching unless some other fancy rewriiting
rules are used. (If possible)

How is it serving the wrong files?

Here is the deal. I'm trying out the latest Instant Rails and when I
start it Apache claims that the web port is being used.

"Apache cannot be runned : another Web server use the Web port"

Okay, no problem. I went into the Apache configuration and changed the
port it was binding to. However I get the same problem.

The troubleshooting continues, so I install Apache by itself and out
of the box Apache runs fine (ie no port conflicts with port 80).

So now I'm pretty clueless, Apache by itself runs but Apache that
comes with Instant Rails will not run at all.

I've never seen this, but Googling for that less-than-perfect-English
error message suggests that this is a problem inherited from
EasyPHP.

This entry on the EasyPHP FAQ seems to be related:

 http://www.easyphp.org/faq.php3#45


The same error message has also been discussed on this
IR-Users ML, here:

 http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/instantrails-users/2005-October/000012.html


Hope this might help someone track the problem down.

Ok here is a stupid solution to the problem. If run Apache and then
start InstantRails I don't get the idiotic error message saying it's
conflicting with the web port.

Anyway I am seriously impressed with InstantRails. What a hell of a
way to develop rails apps. The best thing about it is that I can dump
it on my work computer and not have to modify the system environment.
I'd like to thank all those involved on this project you're doing a
hell of a good job.

Here's my understanding of why things are the way they are:

Rails page caching is done by having rails generate the html page and depositing
them in the normal DocumentRoot of you web server.  When a cached page is hit,
it is a simple static page from the webserver... no rewriting is done (except to
add .html to the filename internally) and no scgi or rails code is even touched.
  This is accomplished via the rewrite rules:

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

1 It maps the url to a .html file,
2 Tests if it exists,
3 and runs rails if it doesn't exist.  (that line was for fcgi, but it's the
same for scgi (with one caveat that is being worked on))

If you move the cache folder, then those files never exist, and page caching
will not work. (note: fragment and action caching are different and their cache
files are stored elsewhere. see:
http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionController/Caching.html )

You could move the DocumentRoot of your webserver to your cache directory, but
then you'd have to move everything else too, to no net change.

As for the site being frozen in time... When something changes, a sweeper
process goes through and deletes the files, forcing a fresh run of rails.

I saw some stale pages, but they always came up right when I held shift and
clicked reload.  I suspect the problem is that the web browser is caching the
file... so it's probably not a problem with rail.  check your production log in
log/ and you should see some mentions of sweeping; that is rails deleting the
stale cache files, and should happen whenever data changes.

Oh, on typo 2.6.0, there a clear cache on the admin page. :)

I just updated it with what works for me.  Note, I added a patch for rails to
work with scgi and caching better; it was also affecting themes somehow.   This
removes the need to edit routes.rb, and copy stylesheets.  To test, please start
 with a fresh install.

I got the same thing but it was because I changed only the Listen
directive and not the Port.  Make sure both are the same.  Also, check
to make sure the IIS for Windows XP/2000 is not running

* Right click My Computer
* Left click Manage
* Expand Services and Applications.  Check if Internet Information
Service is there.
* If it is then expand it. Expand Websites. Left click on Default Website
* Then Right click Default Websit and if STOP is available to click on
then IIS is running on the port InstantRails wants to use.

I have a help desk app running on my windows xp box and had the same
issues until i changed the port to both in the conf file.

Thanks.

Most of the kudos go to the EasyPHP people -- I just forked their excellent
project and morphed it into a Ruby/Rails solution.

Yeah, this is because IR detects that its copy of Apache is already running
and does not attempt to start it.

The fact that you can start Apache manually says that you really don't have
a port conflict and the error mesage is bogus. I'll put this on my todo list
to look at, but its going to be tough to debug a problem I can't reproduce.

I think you are misunderstanding the role of port 9999. This is the port the
Apache's mod_scgi will use to talk to the SCGI Rails Runner that actually
executes your Rails web app. You app's web pages will be served upt to the
user's browser using port 80.

Yep did all that, InstantRails will not start Apache with the port
conflict error on Win2k. If I start Apache manually and then start
InstantRails it works fine.

I think this is a bug in the Instant Rails manager app. I put it on my list
to look at, but its going to be tough to find since I can't reproduce the
problem.

Subject: [Instantrails-users] Redirect remains from cookbook app
Message-ID: <971bafc00511230750n5d52811ax2c212cd0ed95516b@mail.gmail.com>

Hi, I'm just getting started with Ruby on Rails, and InstantRails was the
perfect solution for me to get up and running with Ruby on Rails fast.
However, I've run into a small problem: I've created a new app, but whenever
I access it using an invalid URL or just the mysite.com/ (using a virtual
server) directory, apache tries to redirect me to the cookbook tutorial app.
I've removed the virtual server settings in httpd.conf, and set the proper
path in .htaccess, but I still get redirected. What am I missing?

Regards

dapendragon.

Did you set the DocumentRoot & Directory directives in you new app's
VirtualHost section?

If you posted your VirtualHost section, it'll be easier for us to help.

Apache uses the very first VirtualHost in the config file as its default --
the one that it uses when it doesn't have a matching host name. Try putting
your app's VirtualHost section first.

Message-ID: <c6e8deb20511261310r5b5a3b48hb806a7770a3dbd31@mail.gmail.com>

Decided to learn Ruby and RoR and in the process also downloaded
InstantRails. I start InstantRails, go to Manage Rails Applications,
select the cookbook application and start the SCGI server. I've
already added the entry in host file for mycookbook.com.

When I now load the page http://www.mycookbook.com, the page loads up
with the message that it is redirecting to mycookbook and after a long
wait it just times out and does not load the redirected page. The
error.log file contains the following.

[Sat Nov 26 12:48:53 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end of
script headers: /recipe/list
[Sat Nov 26 12:48:53 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] scgi: error
reading response headers


I'd appreciate it if somebody could help me fix it.

Thanks.

I've haven't seen this before. I'm forwarding this to Zed Shaw, the author
of the SCGI Rails Runner to get his thoughts.

Zed, do you have any idea what could be going on here?

Looks to me like the scgi server isn't running.  Did you start the scgi process?

As an experiment, I tried browsing to the cookbook app without starting the
SCGI server. I didn't get the error log entries that Jeff is reporting.
Instead I got this:

  [Sat Nov 26 21:07:37 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (10061)Unknown
error: scgi: connecting to server

So, I don't think that is the problem.

I tried the same thing on another computer and it works fine there. So
I'm certainly trying the right things and the SCGI server is running
but might be getting blocked somehow. I do have ZoneAlarm installed on
this computer but I'd tried running it after shutting down ZoneAlarm
but I still got the same result. Any suggestions on how to
troubleshoot to figure out what might be causing the problem.

Found out that the problem is with the socket library. The following works

require 'socket'

server = TCPServer.new('127.0.0.1', 9090)
session = server.accept
#request = session.gets
session.close
puts 'Test message'
exit


but if I uncomment the session.gets line then ruby just hangs. To test
it, I load the page
http://127.0.0.1:9090/
in my browser.

Any suggestions on where I should follow up with this?

Excellent!

Take a look at the outstanding Rails bugs and see if this has been reported
already, if not, ten create a new ticket:

I have the sample cookbook app working fine. However, when I create a
new rails app and add a new Virtual Host to httpd.conf and a new hosts
entry and start the scgi server, the page being shown is still the
cookbook app.

Now, I know you are thinking that I didn't change the DocumentRoot in
httpd.conf or something like that, but I double-checked all of that.

I even modified the index.html in the cookbook/public folder and now
both apps are still showing me the old index.html for the cookbook
app. So, I suppose that there is a cache somewhere. If so, how do I
delete this cache. Stopping and restarting of Apache, MySQL and SCGI
doesn't seem to help.

Any ideas?

When a request comes in to apache, if it doesn't match exactly on a ServerName
directive, it will use the first virtual host found in the config file.  Did you
modify the ServerName line?  Is it exactly the same as your hosts file and what
you use in the URL?

Yes, everything matches. I even tried taking out the VirtualHost entry
for the cookbook app altogether and I still was getting the cookbook
app. As I said, it was even showing me an old index.html for the
cookbook app after I modified it just to see if I could see the
difference.

Maybe its your browser cache.

Anyway, try this: rename the cookbook directory so that it can't be found by
Apache. Either delete the cookbook's VirtualHost section, or make sure you
app's VirtualHost appears first in httpd.conf.

now try accesing your app. If you still get the cookbook redirect page, then
its got to be your browser cache, so hold down the shift key and click on
the refresh button (this should bypass your browser cache).

This worked like a charm. Somewhere between the Apache conf and the
cache the problem was fixed.

Thanks!

Has anyone had trouble getting routes to work with InstantRails? I
seem to be having an issue with some code that was working before
migrating it to InstantRails.

It may have something to do with a problem with scgi: see a writeup I did at
http://typo.dgrmm.net/articles/2005/11/17/scgi-caching-and-rewriting

If you scgi mount on /, routes work, but caching and static files don't work.

If you scgi mount on /scgi-bin/, and use the rewriting to get it there, then
your routes see the ugly /scgi-bin/ which wasn't there on other platforms -
unless you use the plugin I mention in that writeup to correct the problem.
