Hi everyone,

I dabble a bit in vbscript and ASP and have wanted to switch to something
using Apache & Linux. I saw some people mentioning Ruby and read about it
and mod_ruby and thought I would give it a try. 

Anyway I have:

Mandrake Linux 9.2
Apache 1.3.28
Apache 2.0.47
mod_ruby 1.0.7
eruby 1.0.5

-----

eruby works on both versions of Apache.

On Apache 1.3.28, mod_ruby works, but when I try to use cgi.rb in a script
like this:

require 'cgi'
cgi = CGI.new
print cgi.header['type'=>'text/html']

I get this error:

[Thu Mar  4 13:16:47 2004] [error] mod_ruby: error in ruby
/var/www/ruby/rubytest.rbx:6:in `[]': cannot convert Hash into Integer
(TypeError)
 from /var/www/ruby/rubytest.rbx:6
 from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/apache/ruby-run.rb:70:in `load'
 from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/apache/ruby-run.rb:70:in `handler'

-----

On Apache 2.0.47, mod_ruby doesn't work with my /ruby/rubytest.rbx file...
it just loads like a regular text file.

Here is the content of rubytext.rbx:

print "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n"
print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n"

print "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC '-//W3C/DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN'>"
print "<html>
         <head>
           <title>eRuby Test!</title>
           <meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1'>
         </head>
         <body>
           <h1>"    1.upto(10) do |x|
                      print "  Hello Ruby!<br>\n"
                    end
print "  </h1>
         </body>
       </html>\n"

Here is what I added to httpd2.conf for Apache 2.0.47

LoadModule 	ruby_module 	modules/mod_ruby.so

<IfModule mod_alias.c>
    ScriptAlias /ruby/ /var/www/ruby/
</IfModule>

<Directory /var/www/ruby>
    AllowOverride All
    Options ExecCGI
    <IfModule mod_access.c>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </IfModule>
</Directory>

<IfModule mod_ruby.c>
    RubyRequire apache/ruby-run
    <Location /ruby/*.rbx>
    	SetHandler ruby-object
    	RubyHandler Apache::RubyRun.instance
      #Options ExecCGI 	#This directive already used above.
    </Location>
    
    RubyRequire apache/eruby-run
    <Location /*.rhtml>
    	SetHandler ruby-object
      RubyHandler Apache::ERubyRun.instance
    </Location>
</IfModule>

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark
