I see. FastCGI "servers" need a socket or pipe to transfer data to/from the webserver. In the case of *nix (mostly) they use a pipes or unix domain sockets (as opposed to TCP sockets). In the case you mentioned, an fcgiserver was set up on a TCP socket. My bad. But for your (Apache) purposes, don't worry about this, you're using pipes (probably).
2) Use SSH to tunnel port 80 on your server to a local port (81 for example. Then connect to localhost:81/admin/default/site and it should be your admin interface. Routes aren't the end of the world, but if you're already using Apache and rewrite, use that instead of routes. It's faster. -tim voltron wrote: > hmm, on the contrary, I have seen some configurations of FCGI using IP > addresses and ports, but not with Apache, see here: > > http://samdanielson.com/2007/1/19/fastcgi-ruby-on-rails-with-lighttpd-on-ubuntu > > 2.
