[typo] Dispatch failed to catch packets out of order

[David Mytton]

Hi,

I have just got Rails installed on my dedicated server - Fedora Linux, 
cPanel, Apache 1.3.33, MySQL 4.1.13 mod_fastcgi 2.4.2 and latest Rails/Ruby.

I have confirmed rails is working by creating a test application, which 
gives me the "Congratulations, you've put Ruby on Rails!" message. I 
then when to install Typo but when I access it via my browser, it hangs. 
The http error log shows:

[Sat Aug 13 00:00:41 2005] [warn] FastCGI: (dynamic) server 
"/home/notes/public_html/blog/dispatch.fcgi" has failed to remain 
running for 30 seconds given 3 attempts, its restart interval has been 
backed off to 600 seconds
[Sat Aug 13 00:00:38 2005] [warn] FastCGI: (dynamic) server 
"/home/notes/public_html/blog/dispatch.fcgi" has failed to remain 
running for 30 seconds given 3 attempts, its restart interval has been 
backed off to 600 seconds

and so on

My dispatch.fcgi file has this in (ignoring the lines with # proceeding 
them)

require File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../config/environment"
require 'rubygems'
require_gem 'fcgi'
require 'fcgi_handler'

RailsFCGIHandler.process!

And my .htaccess is:

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

# Redirect all requests not available on the filesystem to Rails
RewriteEngine On

# Uncomment this if you're not running Typo in the root of your
# webserver's URL space (i.e. http://www.example.com/blog):
#
RewriteBase /blog/

# try to suggest current rss subscribers that the url moved permently
RewriteRule ^xml/([a-z]+)$ /xml/$1/feed.xml [R=301]
RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]

# In case Rails experiences terminal errors
ErrorDocument 500 "<h2>Application Error</h2>Typo could not be reached


I tried running

public/dispatch.fcgi

whilst tailing log/fastcgi.crash.log:

So I was wondering if anyone can help me with this problem?
