>It might be a problem with suexec.  Check suexec.log.  You probably have to change the permissions on the script -- suexec doesn't like scripts (or the directories they're in) to be group-writable.

'which ruby' say
/usr/bin/ruby

the permissions and ownership of test.rb:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 www-data www-data 110 2006-12-08 12:37 test.rb*

the directory that test.rb was in: /var/www/site was owned by root and I changed it to
www-data:www-data and I get the same error.


I tried changing test.rb to the following but still get the same error and couldn't find additional
information:

require 'net/http'
http = Net::HTTP.new('localhost', 80)
resp, page = http.get('/var/www/site', nil )

I also tried removing the space as mentioned but get the same results.

I also have run into problems with carriage returns and linefeeds in scripts so I dumped test.rb
just to be sure:
