In a computer with Windows 7, I've installed Ruby and XAMPP. It runs PHP script very well, but when I tried to run a Ruby CGI script, I got the error:
Couldn't create child process: 720002
It's due to the "shebang" first line of the script:
#!/usr/bin/ruby
In my local installation, ruby is in:
C:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe
That's not much different from the linux path. I solved the problem by creating a symbolic link usr pointing to ruby at root directory. To do that, run cmd as Administrator and type:
c: cd \ mklink /D usr ruby
That was enough to run my scripts. :)
Thanks, hoped it would work! Alas, didn't. (even after rebooting, usually the universal medicine for windoz)
ReplyDeleteI got things to work by using this shebang
#!"C:\Ruby192\bin\ruby.exe"
for noobs that drop by, this means having to change the shebang line when uploading code to *nix servers
Thanks! I'm starting on ruby now, and was searching a solution for this. Actually, what worked for me was the solution given by Mr. Ploskonka, but your post explained what was causing the problem =)
