Hi, I know there are not many people on this mailing list who use my configuration but hope that someone can help solve my problem. Windows XP SP1 Apache 2.0.49 mod\_ruby 1.1.1    (from [http://www.moriq.com/ruby/win32-apache2-ruby1.8.1-mod\_ruby/](http://www.moriq.com/ruby/win32-apache2-ruby1.8.1-mod_ruby/)) I've copied "lib/apache" folder from mod\_ruby-1.1.3 source distribution to "c:\ruby\lib\ruby\site\_ruby\1.8" and updated httpd.conf with: \   RubyRequire apache/ruby-run   \     SetHandler ruby-object     RubyHandler Apache::RubyRun.instance   \ \ Now, when I'm trying to open "[http://localhost/test.rbx](http://localhost/test.rbx)" I am getting the following error: "access to C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/test.rbx failed for (null), reason: file permissions deny server execution" If I rename the file to "test.r" the browser shows it. > **···** > > -- > Thanks, > Yura. ---

Thanks, Kaspar. I am not getting this error any more. > I had other troubles with that setup, so I kind of gave up. Basic > mod\_ruby runs fine though. I'd like to get basic mod\_ruby working before I give up too. Right now Apache "freezes" (so that I have to restart it) on the following simple "test.rbx" script: print "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n" print "Content-Type: text/plain\r\n\r\n" print "hello world" > **···** > > > -----Original Message----- > > -- > Yura. ---

After some debugging done, I found that Apache crashes on the call to "setup\_cgi\_env" in "ruby-run.rb". I guess, it's some incompatibility between mod\_rudy.so/1.1.1 for Windows and Apache 2.0.49.

I found the problem but I am not good with patches. File: mod\_ruby.c Function: mod\_ruby\_clearenv() Fix: replace call to putenv(buf) with call to ruby\_unsetenv(buf) > **···** > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Iouri Kloubakov [mailto:ykloubakov@ftxs.fujitsu.com] > > Sent: June 12, 2004 17:50 > > > > After some debugging done, I found that Apache crashes on the > > call to "setup\_cgi\_env" in "ruby-run.rb".
