Problems with Debian, Apache and eRuby

[Vincent_Foley2 (Vincent Foley)]

Hi ruby-talk,

I am trying to configure my Apache web server (Server version:
Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) Debian GNU/Linux) on Debian to be able to use
eRuby. I followed the instructions in Michael Neumann’s “Ruby
Developer’s Guide” (pp.384-386). Here’s what I added to
/etc/apache/conf/httpd.conf:

AddModule mod_ruby.c
<IfModule mod_ruby.c>
    RubyRequire apache/ruby-run

    <Location /ruby>
        SetHandler ruby-object
        RubyHandler Apache::RubyRun.instance
        Options ExecCGI
    </Location>

    <Files *.rbx>
        SetHandler ruby-object
        RubyHandler Apache::RubyRun.instance
    </Files>

    # eRuby
    <Location /eruby>
        SetHandler ruby-object
        RubyHandler Apache::ERubyRun.instance
        Options ExecCGI
    </Location>

    <Files *.rhtml>
        SetHandler ruby-object
        RubyHandler Apache::ERubyRun.instance
    </Files>
</IfModule>

Then, I restart Apache, and when I list the loaded modules, here’s the
output:

[root@vincent: /etc/apache/conf]# apache -l
Compiled-in modules:
  http_core.c
  mod_so.c
  mod_macro.c
suexec: enabled; valid wrapper /usr/lib/apache/suexec

And when I try to view a .rhtml file, I get the following message:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@vincent and
inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might
have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server
error log.

Does anyone know how to fix that problem? Is it Debian related? Thanks.

Vincent

I think you need a LoadModule directive also, before the AddModule.
I have:
LoadModule ruby_module /usr/lib/apache/mod_ruby.so
but the location of your .so may vary.
