Rails 2.3.2 CGI doesn't work

Reported by Jon Vlachoyianis | April 6th, 2009 @ 10:07 PM | in 3.x

I create a new rails application : rails -D new_app

When I try to run dispatch.cgi from public/, I get this error:

/home/bla/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.2/lib/action_controller/cgi_process.rb:22:in __send__': You have a nil object when you didn't expect it! (NoMethodError) The error occurred while evaluating nil.env_table

from /home/bla/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.2/lib/action_controller/cgi_process.rb:22:in `dispatch_cgi'
from /home/bla/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.2/lib/action_controller/dispatcher.rb:102:in `dispatch_cgi'
from /home/bla/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.2/lib/action_controller/dispatcher.rb:28:in `dispatch'
from ./dispatch.cgi:10

Is CGI dropped? Will be dropped completely in the near future? I was using CGI for small applications in shared hosting that supported CGI but don't support mod_rails.

Any solutions, work-arounds?

    As far as I know, CGI is really deprecated

    Run rake rails:update:generate_dispatchers to generate dispatcher files in RAILS_ROOT/public.

    "Run rake rails:update:generate_dispatchers to generate dispatcher files in RAILS_ROOT/public."

    I have the same problem also.
    I used rake rails:update:generate_dispatchers but the generated ones were exactly the same as those that I had before...
    So didn't help.

    I'm running on a shared hosting as well so I don't have much freedom there.

    Regards

    I am having the same issue after generating the dispatchers. Has anyone figure out how to resolve this?

    I have this one too. Both on my development computer and on my web hotel. Reverting back to Rails 2.2.2 and it's working, but not with 2.3.x.
