After install: public/dispatch.cgi results in undefined method 'env_table' for nil:NilClass NoMethodError

Added by Harlan Milkove almost 15 years ago

Hello,
I'm going through the guide located at http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/HowTo_configure_Apache_to_run_Redmine and when attempting to confirm proper output from running public/dispatch.cgi I get the following error:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.5/lib/dispatcher.rb:24: warning: already initialized constant Dispatcher
/home/username/ruby/gems/gems/actionpack-2.3.5/lib/action_controller/cgi_process.rb:22:in `__send__': undefined method `env_table' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
        from /home/username/ruby/gems/gems/actionpack-2.3.5/lib/action_controller/cgi_process.rb:22:in `dispatch_cgi'
        from /home/username/ruby/gems/gems/actionpack-2.3.5/lib/action_controller/dispatcher.rb:101:in `dispatch_cgi'
        from /home/username/ruby/gems/gems/actionpack-2.3.5/lib/action_controller/dispatcher.rb:27:in `dispatch'
        from public/dispatch.cgi:11

I'm running Redmine through cpanel, and have been trying to figure out why I get a 404 page when attempting to access the entry page. The step above was part of my effort to track down the culprit.
The production log entry that resulted in the 404 is:

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches "" with {:method=>:get}):

The 'No route matches ""' was "/management" before I added some suburi compatibility lines to my environment.rb, but the behavior is the same now. The path to Redmine is /home/username/management/.

sorry , I should use script/about to report:

Although I am not a ruby coder , I have tried to trace about the code. The code with problem is :


def self.dispatch_cgi(app, cgi, out = $stdout)
env = cgi.__send__(:env_table)
env.delete "HTTP_CONTENT_LENGTH"

The CGI is a nil variable. Then I back trace the code and found that cgi is never been set! There have no any condition checking code to create cgi object. So I really wonder that dispatch.cgi is already broken in 0.9.x series.

I've the same error, and it's impossible to run redmine+apache. At the moment I'm playing with 'mod_rewrite' with excelents results (obviously with redmine included webserver).

Have you considered this option?
