No More Ruby on Snails 4 comments
I finally, FINALLY got FCGI to work here at Dreamhost. Others have had problems and the solution seems to be different every time.
My solution was:
- Chmod directories correctly as described at Minimetria
- Use the newer (post-0.13.1) FCGI handler mentioned at Convergent Arts
- Change .htaccess to reference dispatch.fcgi
Note:
- I didn’t tick the FCGI checkbox in the admin panel…I only changed my public/.htaccess

Wow, that’s nuts. I had the same thing – finally got frustrated and moved to Textdrive.
This might come in handy in the future – thanks for posting it!
Umm… sounds overkillish to me, I read about RoR on the Dreamhost KB and I just put my typo (for example) in ~/typo and then symlinked public too spacewaster.net/blog, set some rights and woosh, it’s there with FastCGI… and I didn’t bother with the panel either.
cheers, gunnar
Still sporadic problems…I’ll see if I can fix them some other way.
All I had to do was change a line in public/.htaccess and move dispatch.cgi – page requests are like 5 times faster.
