Archlinux – lightweight
If anyone else has this error thrown inexplicably after installing a fresh version of Arch, you may want to look at this handy post, which will solve all your problems.

This was performed on Archlinux with lighttpd 1.4.28 and rails 3.0.3
Required packages:
Required gems:
(if you are behind a proxy, the magic gem command is :
# gem install GEM -r -p "http://[PROXY_URL]:[PROXY_PORT]"
)
Once you have that you need to create a “dispatch.fcgi” script to do all the rails magic. I found an example one at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3296206/rails-3-and-fcgi .
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require 'rubygems'require 'fcgi'
require_relative '../config/environment'
class Rack::PathInfoRewriter
def initialize(app)
@app = app
end
def call(env)
env.delete('SCRIPT_NAME')
parts = env['REQUEST_URI'].split('?')
env['PATH_INFO'] = parts[0]
env['QUERY_STRING'] = parts[1].to_s
@app.call(env)
end
end
Rack::Handler::FastCGI.run Rack::PathInfoRewriter.new(YOUR_APP_NAME::Application)
Running a “bundle install” from your app root will make sure all the necessary gems are available for local use. Follow these instructions and run “ruby public/dispatch.fcgi”, if you get no errors, voila!
Now, to set up lighttpd you need to merge this with your config:
server.modules += ( "mod_fastcgi", "mod_rewrite" )
$HTTP["host"] == "localhost" {
server.document-root = "/path/to/your/app/public/"
server.dir-listing = "disable"
server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi"
fastcgi.server = (
".fcgi" => (
"localhost" => (
"min-procs" => 1,
"max-procs" => 1,
"socket" => "/tmp/ruby-beholder.socket",
"bin-path" => "/path/to/your/app/public/dispatch.fcgi",
"bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" => "development" )
)
)
)
}
A quick “sudo /etc/rc.d/lighttpd restart” and a check of the error logs will tell you if it has worked
I use a rather spartan windowing manager called awesome in all of my machines. This has been a fine setup until I used it on my netbook due to one small issue, battery monitors.
On my desktop machines and the laptop I use gkrellm to monitor cpu and memory and for the laptop it has a handy battery usage label. With the netbook however, screen real estate is quite valuable, so I opted for finding something to sit in the system tray.
After a quick look it seems there was nothing which was lightweight or simple or not requiring me to install the entirety of gnome.
In the end I made my own called rbatmon, then packaged it up for use in the AUR. If you have a substandard flavour of linux, not to worry, You can grab the script from my githib page here.
The most interesting challenge of this was building a package for the first time. There is a great package for Archlinux called abs (available on pacman) which fills /usr/share/pacman with some example PKGBUILDS for standard sources of gettings code from VCS’s.

AUR page is here.
