OK, thanks.  I'll switch to mongrel.


In the hopes that any users Googling or searching the mailing
list might benefit, I'll post my progress so far.

Executive summary:

  Mongrel 0.3.13.3 working nicely, but my Apache 1.3.33 apparently
  was not compiled with --enable-proxy, etc.

Details:

  Attempt to replace Nitro + SCGI + Apache 1.3.33
  with Nitro + mongrel (reverse proxy) + Apache 1.3.33
  on debian 3.1 stable.

 $ sudo gem install -y mongrel

   mongrel 0.3.13.4 was installed.

 $ ruby run.rb --mongrel        

   Yay! It works! . . . .
   Except the "Content-length: 1234" header is showing
   as part of the document result.
   Google reveals this is an issue reported with 0.3.13.4,
   and reverting to 0.3.13.3 was recommended in some posts.

 $ sudo gem uninstall mongrel
 $ sudo gem install -v 0.3.13.3 mongrel
 $ ruby run.rb --mongrel
 
   Yay! It works!
   Now to set up the apache proxy ala the instructions
   for Rails at http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/apache.html

 $ sudo vi /etc/apache/conf.d/Vhosts.conf

    <VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName my.site.com
        
        # ...
        
        ProxyRequests off
        ProxyPass / http://my.site.com:8888/
        ProxyPassReverse / http://my.site.com:8888
        ProxyPreserveHost on

    </VirtualHost>

 $ sudo apachectl graceful      // failed
 $ sudo apachectl configtest    // failed
 
    Syntax error on line 127 of /etc/apache/conf.d/Vhosts.conf:
    Invalid command 'ProxyRequests', perhaps mis-spelled or defined
    by a module not included in the server configuration

It appears my Apache 1.3.33 apparently was not compiled with
 --enable-proxy, etc.

I have left off here for now, but anticipate recompiling Apache
with the appropriate proxy config options will clear the final
hurdle.

Bill
