[Case 70709] How to get Apache 2.4 and Ruby on Rails to work together?

[Eli L]

Compiling Apache 2.4 leads to the the the cpanel RoR redirects to not function as they should leading to unusable RoR apps (unless accessing the apps directly using the port).

I tried going through cpanel support (internal report #70709) but they seem to think its an apache bug.

So, has anyone had any success getting Apache 2.4 and RoR to work together? If so what steps did you take to get it to work?

I do see that internal case 70709 is open to address this issue. I will update this thread with more information as it becomes available.

Thank you.

Hello

Any news on this ? So far this issue is the only thing stopping me from upgrading to apache 2.4 on production server/s.

Just wondering if there is any update on this?

Case 70709 is still open at this time. While there is no specific time frame on when a resolution will be made available, it's a task that cPanel's EasyApache team plans to address in the near future.

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

Here's some additional information the EasyApache team discovered in regards to this issue:

It looks like apache 2.4 is adding the index file name from DirectoryIndex directive to the URI.

Processing ApplicationController#index (for 10.1.4.77 at 2013-07-26 10:26:29) [GET]

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches "/index.htm.var" with {:method=>:get}):

Rendering /home/rlb3/rails_apps/myapp/public/404.html (404 Not Found)

If rails is in production mode this shows up as a 404 error.

I would suggest adding "DirectoryIndex disabled" to you .htaccess. This should stop the unwanted behavior.

Thanks! Disabling that fixes the issue.
