Setup for Rails via Litespeed Ruby LSAPI

[Justin]

While there is fairly good documentation of the process for running Rails on Litespeed via FastCGI, I'm having trouble finding a step-by-step description of the configuration process for deploying Rails apps via the Litespeed Ruby LSAPI.

Steps done so far:

$ cd ruby-lsapi-1.0
$ ruby setup.rb config
$ ruby setup.rb setup
$ sudo ruby setup.rb install

- Copy dispatch.lsapi to Rails app's public/ directory
- Change shebang line to reference /opt/local/bin/ruby
- Change rewrite rule in public/.htaccess as described in Ruby LSAPI README
- Add same rewrite rule in Litespeed admin console (just in case)
- Server Configuration > External Apps > Add, Type: LSAPI APP

I tried to configure the many LSAPI app options, but aside from adding an extra environment variable LSAPI_CHILDREN=n to match the "Max Conns" value, it's not clear to me what the other option values should be set to. When I restart Litespeed and test the Rails app in the browser, a dialog appears to download dispatch.lsapi as a binary file.

I'm sure I'm missing something relatively simple, but with no documentation of the process to go by, I'm flummoxed. As mentioned above, a detailed, step-by-step walkthrough for creating a new Rails virtual host in Litespeed and getting it working via the Ruby LSAPI would be most greatly appreciated. I'm happy to volunteer myself as the lab rat!

With sincere gratitude,

Justin

Sorry for lacking a step by step tutorial, we will add one later.

I think the step you missing is to configure a mount point of the LSAPI dispatcher. You can do that by either

To add a LSAPI context with URI: /dispatch.lsapi, using the LSAPI as handler.

Or

To add a script handler for suffix "lsapi", using the LSAPI as handler.

I personally prefer the first approach. The Rails app should be ready to roll. :-)
