Hello, I wonder what would be the most stable production runtime environment for a rails application on Unix/Linux. I am not very fond of FastCGI indeed, since it''s not seen any further developement lately. What are your experiences e.g. with the mongrel server? Has anybody used it for production? What are the alternatives? May be some fine lad could just point me to web site dealing with real live production examples. Greetings Michael Kastner
lighttpd and fcgi will probably give you the best performance at the moment. Some people are proxying mongrel behind lighty, butI have not tried this in production On Thursday, March 30, 2006, at 8:56 AM, Michael Kastner wrote:>Hello, > >I wonder what would be the most stable production runtime >environment for a >rails application on Unix/Linux.

Previous versions of Mongrel didn''t work for me in production, but with the latest I haven''t experienced any of the prior problems. I also have a site using fastcgi, but it''s slower, especially when it hasn''t been accessed for a while. Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

You dont''t happen to use apache by any chance? Joe wrote:> Michael Kastner wrote: >> What are your experiences e.g. with the mongrel server?

Well, I am stuck with apache for the time being :-( Mikkel Bruun wrote:> lighttpd and fcgi will probably give you the best performance at the moment. > > Some people are proxying mongrel behind lighty, butI have not tried this > in production > > On Thursday, March 30, 2006, at 8:56 AM, Michael Kastner wrote: >> Hello, >> >> I wonder what would be the most stable production runtime >> environment for a >> rails application on Unix/Linux.

Yeah, I use Apache on another server. As with Lighty, it can also easily proxy requests to Mongrel (which I haven''t gotten around to doing on that server - it currently uses scgi). I don''t know how proxy load balancing - like can be done with Lighty - would be done, but it must be possible. Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

It provides load balancing support for HTTP, FTP and AJP13 protocols". -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
