I recently got into using RoR, and the only issue that concerned me was the apparently complexity of deployment. Setting up fastcgi can be a bit of a pain, and I was hoping that the Rails community would come up with something simpler. Mongrel was recommended to me from someone on my local Ruby user group. It was trivial to install as a Gem on my Linux desktop and the FreeBSD server that I am deploying on. It was trivial to supervise via Runit, to ensure high availability of the service. It was trivial to Proxy to from Apache. The site I''m working on is now run via mongrel through apache, trivial to set up. Thank you. Mike -- Michael P.

You know, I''m going to add to this. I love mongrel. Simple, easy to use, flexible, etc... You''re doing an amazing job with it :) So thanks!

You''re doing an amazing job with it :)mongrel is so easy to use, i dont even know im using it. actually removed all traces of webrick from /usr/lib/ruby and uninstalled lighttpd just to make sure. i''m not positive, but im prettty sure mongrel is my seeing eye dog when camping in the yard, fetching tent poles and scaring away indians with his ugly mug...> > So thanks! > _______________________________________________ > Mongrel-users mailing list > Mongrel-users at rubyforge.org > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users >
