I tried to install Tracks on my webhosting, but if i want to open the url i get a 500 Server Error.
What is wrong?
Here is my developer.log:
i started out with the Mac/Locomotive method at first, but then wanted to access it from anywhere—so i put it up on http://tracks.tra.in and told all my non-techie friends about it. it’s open/free for all, especially those who wouldn’t otherwise install it themselves.
based on their feedback, i’ve been tweaking small interface elements just a bit (like using the context/project name instead of “[C]“ or “[P]“ in item view) and hacked it to allow open signups. i’m also working on an (optional) “gmail-esque” layout. though Tracks is already so elegant and simple—i don’t want to spoil it.
but i hope this is all OK with you—i’ll send patches of the tweaks, though they’re currently pretty small.
]]>I have full root access to this server so I can install whatever I like.
The version of the OS, cPanel and WHM are:
- CENTOS Enterprise 4.6 i686 on virtuozzo - WHM X v3.1.0
- WHM 11.23.2
- cPanel 11.23.4-S26138
The cPanel server is running Apache 2.2.8 with FastCGI implemented
I have installed Ruby on Rail using these instructions:
http://www.cpanel.net/docs/ror/index.html
Everything appeared to complete successfully. Ruby is version 1.8.7 and Gem is version 1.2.0.
I have installed Tracks using the instructions on this page:
http://www.rousette.org.uk/projects/manual/index#signup_install
The Tracks configuration files were edited. The MySQL DB was successfully created and the !# line dispatch.* files were edited so that is pointed to the correct location of the dispatch.rb file:
#!/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.1.0/lib/dispatcher
The Tracks software is installed in the following directory:
/home/username/public_html/tracks-1.6/
I have created a symbolic link called ‘tracks’ which points to:
/home/username/public_html/tracks-1.6/public
I have set up a sub-domain called ‘tracks.mydomain.com’ and made the appropriate DNS entry changes.
I went to the page “http://tracks.mydomain.com:3000/signup” and was able to create and account.
I then went to the page “http://tracks.mydomain.com:3000/login” and entered the credentials of the new account. I recevied the following error page.
Application error (Apache)
Change this error message for exceptions thrown outside of an action (like in Dispatcher setups or broken Ruby code) in public/500.html
Interestingly if I can use the mobile version of with the URL of http://tracks.mydomain.com:3000/mobile I can login successfully and use all of the mobile functions.
I have a copy of the Tracks server log showing the errors generated but apparently I am unable to add it as an attachment to this post. If someone needs to see it please ask.
Thanks in advance to all who take the time to read my question and reply.

Steve
I need to reset my password!
GORY BACKGROUND:
I moved tracks from my home server to a Dreamhost account. I dumped my MySQL tracks db, uploaded it to Dreamhost, and reimported it. I then used instructions at http://www.javaconsulting.eu/. Everything is swell, I get the login screen, but I can’t login :)
I think I just need to reset the password. I am clueless on how the password encryption works. This is where my faith takes over. I’m thinking I can just do a SQL UPDATE on my row in the ‘users’ table and reset the ‘password’ and ‘word’ field. But before I commit to breaking something, I thought I’d ask!
BTW, the production.log file reports the following when I try to login (if this is helpful):

I moved over to a litespeed host because fcgi was leaving hanging processes and dispatch.cgi was just too slow. Some things that I read here led me to believe that litespeed was faster. So, I purchased some space at Steadfast.net and set up the application there. But, now the application is slower than it was on the old host using dispatch.cgi. And when I try to implement dispatch.fcgi, it just displays the dispatch.fcgi file in text format as the web page.
What can I do to speed up the application under litespeed? It is a vanilla version of tracks 1.6. What configuration files need to be changed?
Thanks in advance,
Tom
]]>I’ve been using the hosted version of Tracks at tracks.tra.in and have been really happy. Chris does a great job. However, I’ve found myself needing access to Tracks without a web connection recently and have been thinking of switching to running it on my own laptop.
I have a lot of information already stored on the hosted version - is there a way to move my information to my local installation?
Thanks,
Betsey

Ideas on the problem? I condensed the log info in this post. Unfortunatly the forum wont let me upload the rest of the txt log file as an attachment :(

for details.
I got latest version from git, configured database.conf, environment.rb (only changed seed and put RAILS_ENV to production), switched .htaccess to use .fcgi.
From the browser the app doesn’t start (Rails error).
Running dispatch.fcgi from commandline gives the code with “Redirected to http://:/login” link.
