I am a new subscriber with the beginner plan. I'm trying to deploy my existing app (developed locally on my macbook) and I'm getting a "rails application failed to start" error. I tried to follow the deployment tutorial exactly.
I created a mysql database and user and uploaded my data.
I am able to connect to the db via command line using the user/pass in my database.yml
I did not upload my whole app, I created it at the command line. I verified the shebang path.
I changed the rewrite rule in .htacces from .cgi to .fcgi and did not change the position. I commented out the apache rule at the top.
I'm not using any gems. I'm using acts_as_authenticated and a calendar, both of these are plugins and I installed them both in the app after it was created on your server.
Executing: [~]# killall -usr1 dispatch.fcgi produces:
dispatch.fcgi: no process killed
which is bad, because I think it's supposed to be running all the time.
the file ~/app/logs/production.log is zero bytes.
Should I be able to execute dispatch.fcgi from the command line (as a test)? When I do, it fails on the line "require fcgi_handler".
I would appreciate any suggestions that you may have and I can supply the text of database.yml, environment.rb, .htaccess, dispatch.rb and dispatch.fcgi.
This isn't a limitation of the beginner plan is it?
