Hi i am new to ruby on rails and i want host my own server on ruby on rails but i need small clarification about which webserver is best LIGHTTPD or APACHE i have read some mixed reaction on lighttpd and apache .. some say lighttpd is fast . and some say apache is fast if we configure it properly . what to the geeks of this group have to say :-) is ruby on rails relly fast on lighttp ? Are the benchmarks on the lighttpd site really fake or real http://www.lighttpd.net/benchmark/ --GFAD --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Just the other day I struggled with a deployment of the new WebOrb for rails stuff on Apache, and couldn''t find any answers as to why it wasn''t working when it worked locally, and the rest of the rails app was working with the apache deployment. Wound up using apache to proxy it to lighty, and all was well. Still have no clue why Apache was defiant. Didn''t have to do anything differently to have it work in Lighty. jp -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

To behonest, most people now will be using a load ballencer out front, and using a combo of lighty (for static), mongrel (for rails), and possible tomcat (for java) if there so inclined. Having this kind of set up makes you far more flexible as if you add backend servers the load balencer can distribute over those multi servers. Im running Pound, lighty, mongrel cluster, and resin, over 3 servers, works great, nice and quick. Everyone will tell you different things, however FCGI is quickly becomming a depreciated way of serving rails apps - zed shaws mongrel server is awsomely quick for server rails / camping / nitro apps. As with anything, its all in the tuning and configuration.
