FastCGI and Windows

ruby-talk
1

I have used the Windows installer for FastCGI from RubyForge. I have
that LoadModule and AddHandler in my conf file per the install file. We
I navigate to 127.0.0.1/test.fcgi I get the script printed out on the
screen and not its output.

I am using this script:

#!ruby
require 'cgi'
require 'fcgi'

FCGI.each_cgi do |cgi|
  content = ''
  env = []
  cgi.env_table.each do |k,v|
    env << [k,v]
  end
  env.sort!
  env.each do |k,v|
    content << %Q(#{k} => #{v}<br>\n)
  end
  cgi.out{content}
end

My CGI files run fine.

Make sure you have Options +ExecCGI set.

Hello,

Quoting sigzero@gmail.com:

I am using this script:

#!ruby
require 'cgi'
require 'fcgi'

'fcgi' does not work on windows. 'fcgi' relies on the names for the
socket error codes, which are different on windows. Error::XXXX error
codes are dynamically generated from the operating system.

I dropped it into a directory I am serving Perl cgi's out of and it
still does the same thing.

My site conf looks like this:

    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

This is a common complaint. I'll take a look at it tonight.
