503 error with Rails 2.3.2

[mistwang]

I think an App generated by Rails 2.3.2 is likely to break with 2.2.2.
I only care about the result with 2.3.2.
If the app can be easily packed, please send it to bug@... , we can try it in our lab.

[jmackin]

Done... it's on its way.

[mistwang]

Your app works fine in our lab. So, it must be your local environment.
Please double check the RailsRunner.rb against the one in our installation package 4.0.2

Check if there are multiple version of Ruby installed and the correct one has been used.

I'm having 503 errors as well...

They seem to come more often when the server is under load, or this is the first request of this rails app since litespeed restarted...

I tried updating the timeouts in the rails virtual host conf... but they're pretty long, and still it's happening...

[jmackin]

OK... good to hear that it works at least.

Now, I'd probably need some help with all those checks because I'm not that solid in linux etc. But this is how far I've gotten:

First I did look for RailsRunner.rb on my server and this is the output:

/home/jms/sources/lsws-3.1/fcgi-bin/RailsRunner.rb
/home/jms/sources/lsws-4.0.2/fcgi-bin/RailsRunner.rb
/home/jms/sources/lsws-4.0.2/fcgi-bin/RailsRunner.rb.2.3
/usr/local/lsws/autoupdate/lsws-3.3.1/fcgi-bin/RailsRunner.rb
/usr/local/lsws/fcgi-bin/RailsRunner.rb
/usr/local/lsws/fcgi-bin/RailsRunner.rb.2.3

I have no RailsRunner.rb installed on my local machine.

I checked the versions with 'ruby -v'

Local: ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [x86_64-linux]
Server: ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-23 patchlevel 110) [i686-darwin9.1.0]

I found the ruby installations here:

Local: /opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8
Server: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8

I can't seem to find other installations but I'm not sure how to look for them.

Is there anything else you'd need to know?

Copy /home/jms/sources/lsws-4.0.2/fcgi-bin/RailsRunner.rb.2.3 to /usr/local/lsws/fcgi-bin/RailsRunner.rb

& /home/jms/sources/lsws-4.0.2/fcgi-bin/RailsRunner.rb.2.3 to /usr/local/lsws/fcgi-bin/RailsRunner.rb.2.3

and over write to ensure you have the latest RailsRunner.rb & .rb.2.3

[jmackin]

So far it looks like it's working... Extensive testing to come.

Thanks for your help. It's greatly appreciated.

Is this something we must manually do everytime we upgrade?

Also, How can we serve both rails v2.3 and rails v2.2 on the save server? Does our virtual host automatically choose between the two?

[mistwang]

Please check the RailsRunner.rb in the latest 4.0.x release, it should be compatible with both v2.2 and v2.3.

You may need to explicitly specify the rails version with "RAILS_GEM_VERSION" in environment.rb if you want to use rails 2.3.x

I got the same problem. Works with WEBRick server.
