So Robby encouraged me (on my blog) not to give up on Rails. I'm close. It's just way too frustrating to get a working environment going. As a Java developer (and PHP and ASP) I'm used to stuff just working when it at least comes to lightweight application servers. Yeah, I know WEBrick works. But I've spent literally 3 days worth of effort trying to get Apache+Rails+FastCGI working and I just flat can't get it to work. It's ridiculous. I can't even run "ruby dispatch.fcgi" from the command line of a Rails app that works great with WEBrick. That gives me a "500 Internal Server Error". Ugh. WTH?
I'm using CentOS 4.2, Rails 1.0 (as of a few minutes ago) and I'm just trying to get it running the same way WEBrick does. In a way, this is more proof of concept. If I can't get this working, I can't see how I'd ever, in a million years, use this in a production environment. Apparently there are wizards out there like Robby and others who can make this happen. I can't. And no, I can't switch to lighttpd. I need PHP support (this is all on my home box, but it's still needed) and don't want to have to recompile PHP to get Rails to play nice with my web server.
