I’m playing around a bit with the HAML gem. It broke my Apache / Passenger server immediately. The original error message looked something like:
/!\ FAILSAFE /!\ 2009-05-01 10:05:18 -1000
Status: 500 Internal Server Error
invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII
Google to the rescue. On Linux machines, you should have a /etc/sysconfig/httpd file. I added
HTTPD_LANG=en_US.UTF-8
and all was well after restarting Apache.
This took awhile to find, so here’s the URL to the Rack Development Google Group, of all places. There is some info on OSX as well.
