Ruby On Rails with IIS 7 - Reloaded

Hi,

I was wondering if there's any reason why this would not work on Server 2008? I followed all the steps to a T, but can't get past the 500.0 error message. I've double and triple checked all the permissions, but no change. Any help, or troubleshooting steps you may be able to provide would help.

thanks,

-Steve H.

If you're wanting an setup on Windows for development, check out BitNami stacks - they've got a Ruby one - http://bitnami.org/stack/rubystack - and a JRuby one - http://bitnami.org/stack/jrubystack

I've not had any issues with it yet. But I'm not sure if it's suitable for production environments or not.

I had to add the IIS_USRS group to the RoRIIS7 dir and give full control to get the 500 error to go away.

I also had to uncomment out this line in the environment.rb:

<pre>config.gem "sqlite3-ruby", :lib => "sqlite3"</pre>

Hi,

I'm using server 2008, and have also followed the instructions to the letter.

I am also stuck on the http 500 error.

I have set the netowrk permissions, and also (as a test) allowed the "everyone" group full access to c:\ruby\ and c:\inetpub\roriis7. (this was just a test to see if it was permissions related - no joy).

Do you have any hints as to how I can debug this?

Ta'

Frank

I am installing redMine (RoR based ticketing system) with this guide and it works great.

however, there is still a small problem with this configuration. In redmine , if there is a new row of data created (regardless is new issue , new follow-up , new tracker or etc) .

After record create, redMine will redirect to show the record. It will show the 500 error at first. If I refresh it , it will load the page correctly. It seems like IIS could not find the new record when it is created , but later it will work. I suspect is the caching problem of dispatch.fcgi or URL Rewrite or Module Handler setting .

Anybody encounter this problem , any solution ?

IIS7 + RoR 2.2.2 (RedMine) + URL Rewrite 1.1

I'm using server 2008 and your simple example is running fine. The problem comes when expanding the site to handle images and css. None of the files will be forwarded. Rails log errors like "ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches "/stylesheets/main.css" with {:method=>:get}):

public/dispatch.fcgi:24"

You build your post on Ruslan's post about URL rewriter.

but it's not used in your example?

Is Ruslan's proposed solution for displaying static files the way to go to get it working?

To get it working with regular rails view helpers like <%= stylesheet_link_tag 'main' %>, <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>

and normal tags like <img src="images/pict.gif">

that all works well running the application on webrick.

I added the URL revrite feature to my IIS7 site, imported the rules from Ruslan's solution, and changed the C:\windows\system32\inetsrv\config and open

applicationhost.config handler section path"*" to path="dispatch.fcgi"

Finally I added virtual directories to my site having alias images,stylesheets and javascripts.
