I''ve done tons of work with Rails on IIS. The bottom line is that
it''s not
worth it right now, as FastCGI is not a good, scalable way of deploying
Rails. It works ok for a single application, but things start to get messy
with multiple apps
The best aproach is to deploy Mongrel on the Windows machine and then use
Apache + mod_proxy_balancer. I''ve posted lots of stuff on this
before.
Various setups for Windows-based deployments are also outlined in the next
beta release of Deploying Rails Applications. (
http://www.pragprog.com/titles/fr_deploy). In that book, I explain how to
graft Rails apps onto an existing IIS server so you can share certificates
or even move the apps to a Linux box or other machines so you can actually
scale upwards.
If you want to talk specifics, don''t hesitated to contact me off-list.
I''d
be glad to share information with you.
