Rails - Mar 2005 - Newbies perceptions and questions

Hi,


I found rails on internet when I looking for some ''better'' way
how to
create web applications. I read tutorial 4 days on rails and I have 3
questions

1. How speed is it? (very slow on my testing machine, but that is P100
with 64Mb RAM, what''s enough for php or rhtml :))

2. How does it work... I create table categories, I create model and
controller category, but I don''t see link between them :O Do you use
some AI or Black magic? :)

3. My apache is on rails. Completly. Any page I host there is handled
by rails... even php :). That''s not what I actually want :)

Thank you for patience and maybe help :)

Michael

If you are not using fastcgi, it can be very slow. I''m not surprised
that it''s slow on a P100, it was slow on my Athlon XP 2100 (512MBs
RAM) until I turned on fastcgi. I''m not sure exactly how fastcgi
works, but it''s magic.

More magic ;)

No idea on this one. I''d need more details of your configuration to
know what''s going wrong.
