Famous RT + FastCGI error

RT Users
1

I am trying to setup rt 3.4.5 with fastcgi on redhat enterprise 4 .
i took the configuration from
RHEL4InstallGuide.http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?action=search;search_term=RHEL4InstallGuide
I also read the “RT Essential book”

my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf Virtual host :

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin root
ServerName rt3.example.com
DocumentRoot /opt/rt3/share/html/
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
# Adding the following for RT (the ticket tracker)
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
<Directory “/opt/rt3/share/html”>
Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
AllowOverride None

# Pass through requests to for noauth

Alias /NoAuth/images /opt/rt3/share/html/NoAuth/images
ScriptAlias / /opt/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi/
FastCgiIpcDir /tmp FastCgiServer /opt/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi -idle-timeout 120 -processes 4

whenever i run apache(without errors ) , i get in the log file:

[warn] FastCGI: server “/opt/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi” started (pid 9452)
[Wed May 24 18:38:38 2006] [warn] FastCGI: server
“/opt/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi” started (pid 9453)
[Wed May 24 18:38:39 2006] [warn] FastCGI: server
"/opt/rt3/bin/mason_handler.f

when i try :
http://rt3.example.com/

i get the following in the error log:
[error] [client x.x.x.x] FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from
server “/opt/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi”

whenever comment out the line
“ScriptAlias / /opt/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi/”

then restart apache , i get the famous “you’re Almost there” page.
I checked all permissions (rt was as installed with the same user apache
runs)
i checked the /opt/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi manually and it works.
I read the FastCGIConfigurationhttp://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?action=search;search_term=FastCGIConfigurationdozen
of times.
'I also tried to put “ScriptAlias / /opt/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi/”
in different places of httpd.conf.

what is wrong with my configuration ?
thanks

[error] [client x.x.x.x] FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes)
received from server “/opt/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi”

at the command line, run the mason_handler.fcgi and see what errors
it produces. for best results, run it as the same user ID as your
httpd server runs the fastcgi process.

Hi,
I already done that
switched to user “web” which is the user ,apache run under
and typing :
" /opt/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi" yields the RT LOGIN PAGE(i can see the
html in the console)
here is part of the output:
Pragma: no-cache
