Does this give you any ideas as to what needs to be configured?

Could this be caused by me adding
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
to my Apache Directives (Optional): in ISPConfig?

Yes. I guess the fastcgi daemon (fcgid) configuration is missing.

One problem I've come across that would be beneficial to know is that the public directory of a rails app has it's own .htaccess file. This caused this error in web##/log/errors.log
/var/www/web##/web/testapp/public/.htaccess: Options not allowed here
after deleting this file I could then load .html files through my symlink

I've managed to setup a symlink in my web##/web dir to the web##/cgi-bin/testapp/public dir which allows me to load .html docs through the symlink however when I add

RewriteEngine On
To Apache Directives (Optional):

I can no longer load .html docs through the symlink. If RewriteEngine is required by rails and it appears putting it in the Directives doesn't work..
Where should I enable RewriteEngine?

Put the content from your .htaccess file in the apache directives field of the website and remove the .htaccess file.

Also how would I configur my app to access mysql if the app's datebase file looks like this


I log into phpmyadmin with:
Username: web17_db1

If this databadase was created with ISPConfig, the username is not web17_db1, it is web17_u1. web17_db1 is the name of the database.

I'am not familar with rails. But generally the database details are:

host: localhost
user: web17_u1
password: Your database password
database: web17_db1
