503 error after setting up for the LiteSpeed API App Definition in "External App"

[nathanc]

I chose to instantiate a vhost from one of my VH templates.
I did this because I wanted setup for a rails site using the
external app. The reason I did this is because I wanted to
test the "Memory Hard & Soft Limit" settings.

However, I keep getting a 503 error.
I did try increasing the Memory limits up to 500m like the documents suggests.


I started out by removing my rails context.
Next I added an "External App" for the LiteSpeed API
My settings look like this:
Name rubyLSAPI
Address uds://tmp/lshttpd/rubyrailslsapi.sock
Notes Not Set
Max Connections 2
Environment RAILS_ENV=production
LSAPI_CHILDREN=10
Initial Request Timeout (secs) 1M
Retry Timeout (secs) 0
Persistent Connection Not Set
Connection Keepalive Timeout -1
Response Buffering No
Auto Start Not Set
Command $VH_ROOT/public/dispatch.lsapi
Back Log Not Set
Instances 2
Run On Start Up Not Set
Max Idle Time 60
Priority 1
Memory Soft Limit (bytes) 100M
Memory Hard Limit (bytes) 200M
Process Soft Limit 100
Process Hard Limit 200

My contexts looks like this:
URI /
LSAPI App [VHost Level]: easybutton.us.rubyLSAPI
Notes Not Set
Extra Headers Not Set
Allow Override Not Set
Realm Not Set
Authentication Name Not Set
Required Not Set
Access Allowed Not Set
Access Denied Not Set
Authorizer Not Set
Add Default Charset Off

Judging by what I read in the Step by Step,, these settings should work.

Any red flags you see here guys?

Also I tried raising the "Initial Request Timeout" to like 200. After that didnt work I lowered it down to 60, which to me still seems high.

set "Auto Start" to "on", make sure you can execute $VH_ROOT/public/dispatch.lsapi from command line.

Thank you for your quick reply. I figured out that I need my context URI to be /dispatch.lsapi

Im using Mephisto by the way. The fix brings up my (non-cached)home page just fine, however when I try go to my domain/admin page, I get a 404 not found. I have the feeling I need to add something in my context, but am not sure what.

 

[mistwang]

Are you using 404 handler or the rewrite rule to dispatch the requests?
Is there an admin directory?

 

[nathanc]

Your right, I forgot to reply I figured out the problem yesterday. My rewrite rules were wrong. I didnt really understand how important the rules were till I found this blog,

Thanks again.

The Rails easy configuation is a lot easier. A lot of configurations has been automated behind the scene. The end result is the same for a simple rails app setup.
The manual configuration give you more flexibilities if you need it.
