Don’t forget to restart the fcgi process!

Doh! Just got bit by possibly the only thing wrong with Ruby on Rails: When you change the database schema, you must restart the fcgi process, even on a production server!

Update: Piece of cake with Capistrano!

Oh man! Not the FCGI process…That FCGI’n process sucks! Last time I restarted the FCGI process the whole world came crumbling down around me. I refuse to do it again…….

What’s the FCGI process?

I’m guessing based on the name it has to do with CGI scripts?

Lol, fcgi is FastCGI, its basically a program that uses the CGI protocol to talk between programs and web servers. I just have to learn how to mitigate the problem, probably with scripts in Capistrano!
