503 error, rails not running

[karloff]

Hi,

I have setup all my stuff, however when i try to run a site with rails i get a 503 error. if i boot it to webrick (on port 3000) it works fine) ruby-lsapi is install a-ok.

permissions seem to be fine. can anyone enlighten me to why tis ain't working?

i get the following error in the stderr.log

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.0.2/lib/initializer.rb:159:in `require_frameworks': no such file to load -- openssl (RuntimeError)

from /usr/local/lsws/fcgi-bin/RailsRunner.rb:5

and can't find any ruby processes going on with grep, how do i unistall ruby-lsapi?

[mistwang]

This error has nothing to do with ruby-lsapi.
Maybe you need to explicitly add "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" environment variable under "ruby rails" tab in order for rails to find the missing library?
LSWS only set "PATH=/bin:/usr/bin" environment variable, all other shell environment variables are stripped, you need to add them explicitly if need.


Also make the correct ruby binary has been used if there are multiple installations of ruby.

[karloff]

thre is only one install of ruby on my server

added this to the enviroment in rails tab

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/www

still no joy, it that what you ment?

[mistwang]

You need to check variables set in your current shell environment
with command

envAdd all of them see if it help, then strip one by one.

[karloff]

how can i edit this env if not through the rails tab bit?

[mistwang]

That's the only place you can set env for rails.

hmmm, i'm lost i get...

pwd is set to var/www (where my rails apps are)

if i can't set the path elsewhere how can i get it to work. changed it in the rails tab and nothing

[mistwang]

PWD should not matter. You can remove that. It does not looks like those should affect your rails app.

Can you confirm that you run rails in the same mode, under LiteSpeed and WEBrick? WEBrick default to "Development".

[karloff]

just set rails to boot in dev mode, still no change, check the log and there is no prod log for the app.... that shouldn't be, yes?

[mistwang]

Please upgrade to 3.3.6 release.

[karloff]

Please upgrade to 3.3.6 release.

only just upgraded to 3.3.5, is it out yet?! manual upgrade needed?

[mistwang]

autoupdate has been trigger, if you restart LSWS, you will be able to update it from the web GUI shortly.

[karloff]

i've upgraded but still stumped

[mistwang]

Looks like you have to "strace" the ruby process to find out why.

try strace -f -p <pid_of_lshttpd_child_process>
You should find the failed syscall that break the rails initialization.

You can compare it with output from WEBrick [code]strace script/server[code]
