Hello Zainab,
If you don''t have internet access, then will be really hard for you to
fulfill all the dependencies.
if win32utils project administrator decided to hide previous releases,
the files are still there, as you found. The gem is not corrupted.
The mongrel_service executable will be copied automatically the first
time you install (with service::install) a Rails application.
So:
1) download manually the following gems (you can use wget or enter the
url in your browser)
http://gems.rubyforge.org/gems/cgi_multipart_eof_fix-2.5.0.gem
http://gems.rubyforge.org/gems/mongrel-1.1.5-x86-mswin32-60.gem
http://gems.rubyforge.org/gems/gem_plugin-0.2.3.gem
http://gems.rubyforge.org/gems/mongrel_service-0.3.4-i386-mswin32.gem
http://gems.rubyforge.org/gems/win32-service-0.5.2-mswin32.gem
2) install with gem install --local in the same order I listed above.
3) install your rails application as service:
mongrel_rails service::install (all the params here)
4) Done, you can now start the service with "net start ..." and
"net stop ..."
