As Dave doesn’t have a -users list for Rublog I am asking here, sorry
if it is offtopic…

I am having a bear of a time getting rublog to work under 1.8.0 I get
errors along the lines of:

when I make a request against a category.

I have gone in and hacked up the obvious places but it just opens a can
of worms on new problems.

Anyone played with this and gotten it to work?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help provide some pointers!

Might be worth posting to the project’s forums:

http://rubyforge.org/forum/?group_id=74

Although I admit that probably a posting here is more likely to be seen
by other rublog users…

Hmm… I’m running it every day under 1.8.0 and 1.8.1.

Are you running it as a CGI, or under mod_ruby?

Cheers

I have mod_ruby installed but am running it under cgi at the moment –
I want to run under mod_ruby eventually, but make it work, then work
right, then work fast =)

Completely disabling mod_ruby makes no change

Forcing it to run under mod_ruby gives me a security error:

from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/apache/ruby-run.rb:70:in `handler’

Running it as a normal cgi I get the previously mentioned error. The
“can’t modify frozen string (TypeError)” is why I thought that maybe
something changed between 1.6 and 1.8.

httpd cgi config is pretty vanilla:

LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

Aside from that it is httpd 2.0.48 prefork and 1.8.0 release with
nothing extra aside from eruby installed.

Entertainingly enough, the frozen string was it, the following patch
solved the problem:
