Rails - Apr 2006 - Easiest way to deploy a ruby on rails site

Hi,

i am looking to deploy a ruby on rails site.  I currently have some 
asp.net 2.0 sites hosted using IIS.  I have looked at some of the issues 
with hosting a rails site on IIS and this looks more hassle than what it 
is worth.  I tried it and i couldn''t get it to work.

Can someone tell me what is the easiest way to get a rubyonrails site up 
and running on a server running windows.

If it is easier with a linux machine then i can create a virtual linux 
website server but need to know whats the easiest solution.

Thanks

You could try InstantRails :

I''m looking for testers of my "vgrails" VMWare virtual Rails
server. :)

1. Instant Rails carries its own copy of Ruby/Rails, MySQL and Apache. 
That would bypass IIS (and MS SQL Server).

2. I am building a Linux Virtual Machine which will include Rails and 
will run under a Windows host with the new VMWare free server. I should 
have a working version up on the web in a day or two; the build takes 
forever but once it''s built, I can upload it. Bill of Materials:

a. Gentoo Linux 2006.0
b. Apache (1 and 2 both)
c. Lighttpd
d. PHP (4)
e. Perl and Python (which come with Gentoo)
f. MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite and unixODBC
g. Rails
h. Subversion, CVS and Trac
i. RRDTool
j. R

This is a project on RubyForge -- the name is "vgrails" (Virtual
Gentoo
Rails). However, they don''t have the bandwidth to host a virtual 
machine, so it will be on my web site with a link posted on RubyForge.

Watch this space. :)
