 |
|
Hi there. I've just been Googling and forum searching for a decent tutorial on how to make my shiny new first-ever Ruby app play nice with Apache, but to no avail.
What I have is two .rb files (one's a library and gets included into the other) which work perfectly when run from the shell. They output things via puts. I've followed various tutorials to install mod_ruby as well as I can, and I have my two .rb files in /srv/www/htdocs/ruby (where /srv/www/htdocs is my DocumentRoot). My problem is that when I try to access them in a web browser. Instead of getting what I want (the same as appears on the shell), I get a message saying "Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /ruby/ical.rb on this server."
How do I make this message go away? I'm confused

| check your file permissions on the ruby/ directory and the .rb file and make sure apache can access it. |

Looks fine to me:
| Code: | splig ~ # ls -l /srv/www/htdocs/
<snip>
drwxrwxr-x 2 apache apache 136 Feb 20 03:12 ruby
<snip>
splig ~ # ls -l /srv/www/htdocs/ruby
total 40
-rw-rw-r-- 1 apache apache 26910 Feb 20 02:47 calendar.ics
-rw-rw-r-- 1 apache apache 4930 Feb 20 02:58 ical.rb
-rw-rw-r-- 1 apache apache 152 Feb 20 02:55 nextev.rhtml
splig ~ # ls -l /srv/www/htdocs/*.rb
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nl users 5113 Feb 20 18:52 /srv/www/htdocs/ical.rb
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nl users 149 Feb 20 12:46 /srv/www/htdocs/xnextev.rb |
Do the ruby files need to be executable/have a particular file extension/be in a particular place? Do they need "#!/usr/bin/env ruby" at the start if they're acting as server-side scripts? Do they need PHP-like codes such as "<% %>" instead?
It's all very confusing and ambiguous...

/var/log/apache2/error_log is your friend. |

Fantastic! Turns out it was a combination of events (permissions, file locations) that was causing problems. But with the handy info from Apache's error log I was able to fix everything!
Thanks a lot
