What made the FCGI work for me was: - Creating the development database - Re-commenting out the RAILS_ENV line in environment.rb Although, I was thinking that this would make it a 'development' env, yet, to my astonismed, it was the production that kicked in. I haven't had the time to isolate this, but, I finally got it to work.
