Hi!
I'm a new RoR Developer 'bout 3~4 month programming and I'm searching for some articles of how to publish web application and service wrote in RoR.

My doubt is if this really publish like an asp.net application in IIS of the server.
Or if there is one more usefull way to publish using apache.

please let me know some artices and exemples or video explanations.

thanks for the attention.

New Post: can not connect to fcgi server

drblack83 — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 02:43:07 GMT

I have followed the instructions and have not been able to get Ruby working on IIS. I have let the wizard do the install and manually setup the website in IIS. When I go the default rails site and click the "about your application's environment" (http://sitename.com/rails/info/properties). I get the following error....

"Server Error, unable to connect to fastcgi server."

At one point I had 3 instances of rubyw.exe running w/ a route to dispatch.fcgi error, but in trying to fix that I feel I might have gone backwards.

I have been fighting w/ this for some time now and am about ready to install Apache and move on....I would really like to get this working on IIS,

Permissions are correctly set on libfcgi.dll and the ruby root directory for Network Service and IIS_WPG and I have followed everything else in the posts I have read.

Unistalled and reinstalled multiple times....rewrite filter is loaded ok and isapi_fcgi.dll is set correctly.

???????????????????????

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Hi Josh,

I have ideas what is causing the orphaned ruby processes but no time to fix it as of yet. We were using isapi_fcgi internally but have since moved away from ROR apps because of this limitation. I recommend looking into running apache on windows instead of IIS.

If you know any c++ devs or want to go for it yourself, I can send you the source code for the isapi module, i'm sure its a pretty easy fix I just can't justify the time to do it right now.

Let me know if you want the sorce.

NEW POST: url rewritting errors

fleey — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 01:04:01 GMT

Hi Brent , thanks for your quick answer!
The bad thing is that after i have double checked the 5 things you mentioned above,Istill got the same problem as i first mentioned.
The Isapi_Rewrite isapi filter has a "Green Up Arrow",but it's priority is "unknown" .
Anything else to try?

NEW POST: url rewritting errors

bheinz — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 18:46:35 GMT

Hi Fleey,

1) If you make code changes to your rails app under IIS and are running RAILS_ENV = production you must restart IIS (Start -> Admin Tools -> IIS Admin Console -> right click -> Restart IIS) or via the command line. This will always be the case!

2) Please not you need to ensure the following has been completed: http://www.codeplex.com/RORIIS/Wiki/View.aspx?title=Documentation%20For%20Modifying%20The%20request_uri%20Method&referringTitle=Home

3) The fastcgi.crash.log can be ignored for the most part, it really doesn't tell you much.

4) Is this on a 64-bit box? Ensure the Isapi_Rewrite isapi filter has a "Green Up Arrow" under the IIS website properties -> Isapi Filters tab. If it shows a "Red Down Arrow" then the rewrite isapi filter is not loading correctly and this will cause the 404 errors where your rails paths are not getting rewritten to the http://localhost/dispatch.fcgi?opnq=/controller/action (this is the correct format if you perform step 2 above!)

5) If you get the red down arrow, check your event viewer. The isapi_rewrite is 32-bit and requires 32-bit app pools.

Let me know if this doesn't solve your issues.
Brent

Hi,friends! First of all,thanks for you guys who have made contributions to this great tool,I really appretiate you work and the trouble shooting.
My situations here: I can get the right answer when the url is like http://localhost/dispatch.fcgi?controller,but when the url is written in rails way like Http:///localhost/conntroller,Http:///localhost/conntroller/action,or Http:///localhost/conntroller/action/id,i got the 404 error .it cann't find the pages!
and i also get the fastcgi.crash.log with messages repeating:

Hey Jon,

I appreciate you asking. Here are the steps for what its worth...
Also note: there is a bug in the isapi_fcgi.dll implementation that I have yet to repair. Assume the following scenario:

(where StartServers = X is the setting in the cooresponding instance's .fcgX registry key)
First Server: StartServers = 2 ruby processes
Second Server: StartServers = 3 ruby processes

When each app runs for the first time:
First Server will spawn 2+3 processes.
Second Server will spawn 2+3 processes.

Now assume you had a Third Server: StartServers = 5 ruby procs
First Server will spawn 235 processes.
Second Server will spawn the same as well as the third.

For a total of 30 ruby processes. I haven't done any extensive testing on the behavior of these "orphaned" ruby procs but it can't be good. So if you use 1 or 2 per instance you will probably be ok depending upon the load requirements of your server.

I plan to fix this bug in the near future (within a month or so) as soon as I do I will post the new version of the installer.

Hope this helps you out,
Brent

Instructions for running multiple (rails) servers on same machine using FCGI.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Note: fcgx denotes that the x is a number. (eg. fcg2, fcg3 etc...) cooresponding with the number of the server instances.

- Make a copy of the IsapiRewrite4.ini and the IsapiRewrite4.dll isapi filters
- they are located in c:\windows\syswow64\inetsrv (x64) and c:\windows\system32\inetsrv (x32)
- create a new subfolder under c:\windows\syswow64\inetsrv\fcgX (x64)
- copy the original files into the new subfolder

- Edit the IsapiRewrite4.ini
- Ensure you change the bind path to Rails-FCGIX (where X denotes the instance)
- Change any references to .fcgi to .fcgX and save it

- Start - Run - Regedit
- save a copy of the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Fast-CGI\.fcgi (note x64 - HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Fast-CGI) to your desktop
- edit the file changing cooresponding paths and extensions to .fcgX
- save the file and import the changes to the registry

- Create a new website under IIS admin
- Assign it a name
- browse to new applicationX directory/public
- Create a new appliation pool if you wish
- assign app pool to new website under its properties
- set log file path to applicationX/log directory for IIS logs (optional)

- Add rewrite Isapi Filter to new website (where X denotes your instance number)
- name it REWRITE
- x64 - browse to C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\inetsrv\fcgX\IsapiRewrite4.dll
- x32 - browse to C:\WINDOWS\System32\inetsrv\fcgX\IsapiRewrite4.dll

- Add extension mapping for new .fcgX extension (note see manual IIS installation instructions for more info)
- Home Directory tab, Configuration button
- Add application extension
- x64 - browse to C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\inetsrv\isapi_fcgi.dll
- set extesion to .fcgX

- Navigate to applicationX install directory/public and rename dispatch.fcgi to dispatch.fcgX

- Restart IIS

Is there any updated documentation on deploying multiple rails sites sites (on different ports) with the current version? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

NEW POST: 401 errors

bheinz — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 00:57:16 GMT

Hi Evan,

If you haven't figured it out already, try doing a restart on IIS. This usually fixes any issues like this when initially deploying the rails app under IIS.

However, if this doesn't fix your issue, 401 is unauthorized so you may want to verify that you are not using integrated windows authentication. If you need to use it, try turning it off to test that things work. If they do, it is probably read permissions on the website/directory of the application.

Thanks,
Brent

Hi all,

So, I'm about to give up after spending more than 10 hours trying to get rails on IIS working. I'm stuck with a 401.3 error, and have gone through everything twice or three times. All the permissions are set as outlined. I've even tried FileMon and the AuthDiag tool to try to get some more insight into what the issue is.

If anyone has any suggestions, they would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Josh,

The Microsoft IIS team has released their FCGI ISAPI module go-live (meaning production beta) and I am in the process of testing it. If things work as expected, I plan in the future to replace the current isapi fcgi library with the IIS one.

Here is a link to the site: http://www.iis.net/downloads/default.aspx?tabid=34&g=6&i=1521

I would like to setup multiple rails sites (not multiple Virtual directories as some demos have shown). Is this possible? I have several different webapps (running off entirely different domains & sub domains). Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

NEW POST: Routing error

mineral — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 16:27:25 GMT

I have a few routes that work perfectly -meaning I can access my rails application through fastcgi in IIS on some controllers without issue. On other controllers, though, the requests are completely ignored.

for instance:

http://mineral/rails/test/hello works fine
but
http://mineral/rails/other/hello won't work at all.

IIS tries to render the whole url (i can create the folder other/hello/ in my rails app public folder and add index.html and it will render) and it is never handed off to ActionController. IIS throws a 404 and rails nor fastcgi ever seem to see the request. There are no typos in my urls. I don't understand the problem.

here is my IsapiRewrite
=====
IterationLimit 0

RewriteRule ^/rails(/^'javascripts','stylesheets','images'.*)$ /rails/dispatch.fcgi?opnq=$1
=====

I might be an idiot, but I cannot get the markup to work right. The javascripts, etc. are enclosed in square brackets. you can see I told it to only ignore files in javascripts/stylesheets/images and process everything else.

Any advice?
