Hello and sorry if my english is not always perfect,

We are very interested in buying the Enterprise version of the server to serve our new Rails apps if it keeps it promises in terms of performance, scalability and deployment easiness of Rails apps.

I decided then to download and have a look at the Standard edition.
Here is the os/hardware I want to intall LiteSpeed Std on :

Code:

SunOS hulk3.bil.lu 5.8 Generic_117350-23 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R

So I dowloaded the Solaris (SPARC) version, unpacked it in my home directory (since I'm not a super user) and ran :

Code:

./install.sh
Destination [~/lsws]: 
User name [admin]: admin
Password: 
Retype password:

And then I got this :

Code:

ld.so.1: /globalhome2/eg818/lsws-2.2.1/admin/fcgi-bin/admin_php: fatal: libjpeg.so.62: open failed: No such file or directory

But the install procedure continued and went ok till the end with the following inputs from my part :

Code:

Setup up PHP [Y/n]: Y
Suffix for PHP script(comma separated list) [php]: 

Installing, please wait... 

Your current PHP engine /globalhome2/eg818/lsws/fcgi-bin/lsphp is renamed to lsphp.old

Would you like to change PHP opcode cache setting [y/N]? N
Would you like to install AWStats Add-on module [y/N]? N
Would you like to import Apache configuration [y/N]? N
Congratulations! The LiteSpeed Web Server has been successfully installed.
Command line script - "/globalhome2/eg818/lsws/bin/lswsctrl"
can be used to start or stop the server.

I started the server and I managed to access the default site : http://hulk3:8088

But when I tried the admin part : http://hulk3:7080 filling the login and password and clicking OK, then the browser gave me this :

Code:

503 Service Unavailable 
The server is temporarily busy, try again later!

Did someone has an idea ? I am not a UNIX expert guru but I feel this may be a system problem...

I have other questions :
1) Why two directories : ~/lsws and ~/lsws-2.2.1 ?
2) I installed Ruby version 1.8.4 in ~/ruby and added the ~/ruby/bin in my PATH, but it seems that LiteSpeed did not succeed in detecting my Ruby install.

Code:

2006-09-18 14:53:53.644 [WARN] [config:server:rails] Cannot find ruby interpreter, Rails easy configuration is turned off

Anyone has an idea ? Is there a way to specify manually where the Ruby is installed ?

Thanks in advance,

PS : I must admin that I spent a couple of days trying to run Apache + FastCGI and gave up because of instability issues. So LiteSpeed is my last chance to convince my friends / developpers of the beauty of Ruby on Rails...

mistwang · #2 09-18-2006, 07:28 AM

We made a mistake when building admin_php binary, admin_php dynamically linked to libjpeg.so, we updated the binary with static linkage to libjpeg.a, you can download 2.2.1 package again, the problem should be fixed.

~/lsws-2.2.1 is where the installation package expanded, you can remove it after installation, ~/lsws is the directory where LSWS has been installed to.

You can change the path to ruby executable after you get into the web admin console under "Rails" tab. If it is better to install ruby to server wide directory if you have the authority to do that.

LiteSpeed + Rails is quick and easy, one of the best platform for RoR development and deployment. I hope you enjoy working on it.

perezsy · #3 09-18-2006, 08:03 AM

Hi and thank you for your fast answer,

I downloaded the install again deleted all the directories and tried to reinstall, but I have the same error message during the install :

Code:

Please specify the administrator's password.
This is the password required to log into the administration web interface.

Password: 
Retype password: 
ld.so.1: /globalhome2/eg818/lsws-2.2.1/admin/fcgi-bin/admin_php: fatal: libjpeg.so.62: open failed: No such file or directory
Please choose the group that the web server running as.

What looks strange is that the new install has the same filesize as the old one. Could you confirm that you changed the install file ?

mistwang · #4 09-18-2006, 09:02 AM

Sorry, made another mistake again.
Fixed, please download the package again.

perezsy · #5 09-19-2006, 12:36 AM

Work great !

Thank you.

One last thing : do you forsee in a near futur to provide a Windows version of your server ?

It probably will not happen in the near future.

perezsy · #7 09-19-2006, 06:36 AM

I was too optimistic...

I managed to start view the "Youre riding the Rails!" page of a test application. But when I click on the link "About your applications environment" then the browser waits for ages and responds back :

Code:

503 Service Unavailable

Going in the server log directory I have this in the stderr.log file :

Code:

ld.so.1: ruby: fatal: relocation error: file /globalhome2/eg818/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/sparc-solaris2.8/lsapi.so: symbol unsete

When I start an irb session and type :

Code:

require 'lsapi'

I get this :

Code:

I remember I had warning when I installed ruby-lsapi-1.8 :

But I don't think this warning is important.

Anyway, your help will be appreciated... I am near then end of a nightmare...

PS : Two optional questions :
1) Do you prescribe to store vhost configuration under the lsws directory or under the application conf directory ?
2) Is there a way to have one listener (say 8088) that serves several rails apps like http://hulk3:8088/my_app_1 and http://hulk3:8088/my_app_2

Thanks in advance.

mistwang · #8 09-19-2006, 09:20 AM

ruby-lsapi need to be patched on solaris 8, please do the following:
Please open ext/lsapi/lsruby.c, replace all "unsetenv" with "ruby_unsetenv".
Open ext/lsapi/Makefile, search for "LIBS" variable, add "-lsocket -lnsl" at the beginning.
Run "make install" under ext/lsapi/ directory.

We will find a way to generate a special version of Makefile for Solaris, please patch it manually for now. Please let me know it works or not.

Answer to your other questions:
1) I prefer store vhost configuration under lsws/conf/ directory, if stored under the application conf directory, you need to make sure that directory is writable for the user that lshttpd running as.
2) You can host multiple rails app in different path under one vhost. You need to create those Rails context manually, not through our rails vhost template.

perezsy · #9 09-20-2006, 12:44 AM

It doesnt work.

In the file lsruby.c
All the "unsetenv" were in the lsapi_Init function and have been replaced by "ruby_unsetenv".

In the file Makefile
I changed the LIB variable from :

Code:

LIBS =   -ldl -lcrypt -lm   -lc

to

Code:

LIBS = -lsocket -lnsl  -ldl -lcrypt -lm   -lc

But when compiling in the ext/lsapi directory with "make install" I get this :

Code:

[eg818@hulk3.bil.lu] /globalhome2/eg818/ruby-lsapi-1.8/ext/lsapi > make install

What is this file install-sh ?
I tried to manually copy the file lsapi.so from "ext/lsapi" to "site_ruby/1.8/sparc-solaris2.8" but when starting an irb session with require 'lsapi' I get this :

I tried the test app and it works !
So I can see here one real error (the install-sh) and may be one small "error" raised by the require 'lsapi' in the irb session.

Can you confirm please that the irb problem is "normal" and that what the install-sh file would have done is a copy and a chmod 755.

Thank you for your precious help !

mistwang · #10 09-20-2006, 06:45 AM

What you did is correct.
I had the same problem with install-sh on solaris, just copy it manually.
The problem with irb is that "gets" function is not defined with LSAPI. Will fix that.
