From: Sam Waller Date: 2006-12-09T04:00:11+09:00 Subject: apache2 + ubuntu edgy + ruby I'm running Ubuntu edgy linux, apache2, php5, and ruby 1.8.4 I've been able to get apache2 to run php scripts easily but am having problems getting ruby to do so. I've read references to eruby, libapache2-mod-ruby, fastcgi etc, etc. So, I'm not sure what I really need. I did install Ubuntu's libapache2-mod-ruby and I now see /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ruby.load -> /etc/apache2/mods-available/ruby.load. I also found a /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_ruby.so. I've tried many variations in the site .conf file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/www.site.local. What I currently have in this file is: ServerAdmin webmaster@site.local ServerName www.site.local ServerAlias site.local AddHandler cgi-script .rb DirectoryIndex index.php DocumentRoot /var/www/site # CGI Directory ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/site/ Options +ExecCGI # Logfiles ErrorLog /var/www/site/logs/error.log CustomLog /var/www/site/logs/access.log combined Since php is working here is what I have added to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php .html I'm only trying to get apache2 to run ruby programs (.rb files) like it does .php files. Can someone tell me what is needed to make this work? When I try to run a test.rb file I'm getting this in the error.log file: [Fri Dec 08 13:52:30 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (2)\xd9\x05i\xb7: exec of '/var/www/site/test.rb' failed [Fri Dec 08 13:52:30 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end of script headers: test.rb and the browser shows: Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@site.local and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. test.rb just contains this: #!/usr/bin/ruby print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n" print "Hello World!\r\n" thanks, Sam
