I’m upgrading an app to Rails 3.1. Quote often, Firebug will complain about some

  • 0

I’m upgrading an app to Rails 3.1. Quote often, Firebug will complain about some assets. Here are some errors pasted from Firebug:

"NetworkError: 500 Internal Server Error - http://unstilted.dev/assets/jquery-ui.js?body=1"
jquery...?body=1
"NetworkError: 500 Internal Server Error - http://unstilted.dev/assets/admin/pages/file_attachments.js"
file_a...ents.js
"NetworkError: 500 Internal Server Error - http://unstilted.dev/assets/admin/file_attachments/sortable.js?body=1"
sortab...?body=1
"NetworkError: 500 Internal Server Error - http://unstilted.dev/assets/jquery.js?body=1"

Refreshing the page would yield different assets showing the same error. When I copy and paste the URL I see the files just fine.

I’m using:

  • Ubuntu 11.04
  • Apache+Passenger 3.0.9

How do I fix this?

UPDATE: Log file

In this particular instance, jquery-ui.js was showing an error in Firebug. My log file looked like this:

Started GET "/assets/jquery.js?body=1" for 127.0.0.1 at Tue Sep 06 22:24:39 +0800 2011

It seems to have skipped jquery-ui.js!

UPDATE Oct 1, 2011:

I tried it out with the standalone passenger (passenger start) as it seems to give a more descriptive error. This is what happens when I try to load just the jquery.js file and press CTRL-R repeatedly to refresh my browser and load that asset repeatedly.

    The problem is in the middle of Passenger and Rails 3.1 PostgreSQL adapter.
    According to this issue https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/1339
    Rails 3.1.1.rc1 should have this issue fixed.

    Also stop using PassengerSpawnMethod conservative because it makes Passenger & eventually REE performance optimizations useless – it spawns separate Rails instances – no sharing of common code.
