Tech support at A2 has been increasingly helpful. They resolved the MySQL hashed_password issue and I've been able to get my application to run. Now we're working through FastCGI issues. The Apache error log shows the following... [Tue Jul 26 00:19:15 2005] [warn] FastCGI: (dynamic) server "/home/jcartwri/public_html/rails/dispatch.fcgi" started (pid 10608) FastCGI: can't start server "/home/jcartwri/public_html/rails/dispatch.fcgi" (pid 10608), execle() failed: No such file or directory [Tue Jul 26 00:19:15 2005] [warn] FastCGI: (dynamic) server "/home/jcartwri/public_html/rails/dispatch.fcgi" (pid 10608) terminated by calling exit with status '255' [Tue Jul 26 00:19:20 2005] [warn] FastCGI: (dynamic) server "/home/jcartwri/public_html/rails/dispatch.fcgi" restarted (pid 10627) FastCGI: can't start server "/home/jcartwri/public_html/rails/dispatch.fcgi" (pid 10627), execle() failed: No such file or directory [Tue Jul 26 00:19:20 2005] [warn] FastCGI: (dynamic) server "/home/jcartwri/public_html/rails/dispatch.fcgi" (pid 10627) terminated by calling exit with status '255' My dispatch.fcgi file is actually located at ..../rails/public/dispatch.fcgi so it appears the path is incorrect. Hopefully we will resolve this issue soon as well. And finally, adding SetEnv RAILS_ENV production doesn't seem to work in my .htaccess file. I hacked the environment.rb file to get it to change environments, but obviously this is not the prefered approach.
