Interesting:

.htaccess file contents:
SetHandler fastcgi-script

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule \.(css|jpe?g|gif|png)$ – [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)?$ Site.fcgi [L]

Site.fcgi
#!/bin/sh
export HAXENEKO=~/haxeneko
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HAXENEKO
export PATH=$PATH:$HAXENEKO
export NEKOPATH=$HAXENEKO
export HAXE_LIBRARY_PATH=$HAXENEKO/std
cd ../haxe-site
exec neko Site.n

Dreamhost currently has the default settings for FastCGI:
FastCgiConfig -autoUpdate -initial-env RAILS_ENV=production -idle-timeout 60 -startDelay 10 -maxClassProcesses 2 -killInterval 300

Interesting though is that nothing comes up if I type ps -x, so it seems like the neko isn’t started yet.

It is also possible that you are only allowed jailshell ? Running fcgi requires a protocol to be followed, you can't simply "print" stuff to the output, and any debug may get in the way. One possible way to start neko, besides a shell script, may be a small c-program. This would be pretty simple, and I can have a go is all else fails. Also, the error talks about "script errors", which may suggest that it not treating it as "fcgi", maybe "cgi" or some other protocol, which would be a .htaccess issue. If you still have problems, I can try to compile a c++ program that has no dependencies. Hugh Hi Simon,

I tried to get this to work on a shared server (Dreamhost) and it seems like we can’t run a “sh” whilst it’s running as fcgi. I was wondering if there was an alternative to launch this (perl?)

I was thinking about neko hosting for using flash sockets. I guess the fast cgi one would be the best, and sockets should work out of the box! We use site5 too, which makes these even more relevant ;P cheers Thanks Hugh. I was thinking about neko hosting for using flash sockets.
