Hello, I''m not a developer myself, but I work for a hosting company that tries to cater to the needs of developers and basically right now I am trying to create a hosting platform that will be perfect for ruby developers. This is a linux VPS service and I create the base templates to make the system look however i want it after install. I was hoping some of you could give me some ideas on what you would like to see from a development environment. Here''s what i have so far and any ideas are welcome: -Latest Ruby (obvious) -Latest Rails (obvious) -Latest Gems (obvious) -The default webserver document root is set up as an empty rails application -Latest MySQL Database Set Up and Running (Obvious) -Apache configured for rails (obvious) -Vim installed with vim-ruby installed via gems (dont know if this is useful?) and thats about it from what I could think of, are there any other nice apps that you would like to have or maybe some ultra common configuration that you always have to do that could be done automatically.

There will be no limit to the number of running applications (no practical limit at least, the theoretical limit would be 2048 sites I guess based on how the system is set up, but realistically i doubt anyone would even consider that many :-D ) The limitations are more on system resources such as disk space, CPU, memory, etc but you can do anything you wish with those resources. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

As mentioned before Subversion Capistrano Apache with mod_proxy_balancer Mongrel Mongrel_cluster That should allow fairly serious application development and deployment.

Shared hosting for live testing and production use? If that''s the case I think you will want to provide capistrano tasks to handle deployment and configure your document root appropriately to handle it. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Dustan, I think Postgresql would be a nice addition. I for one use it a lot, but finding web hosts that support it is difficult. Also, the phpMyAdmin and phpPgAdmin are nice-to-have''s (no flames from the hard-core console users please ;-) Anyway, that''s my contribution. Good luck with your effort, and post back once it''s alive.

Hi Blair, Well, yeah. Me too. But I already run apps on lighttpd, and there''s probably room for lighttpd in between apache and mongrel.

In my opinion, if you are going to be running apache and "something", let it be apache and mongrel. Seems like the best option if you already have an established server that has been running apache, bunch of php/perl apps, etc, in a multi-host environment. If you have the luxury of getting away with running one (new server setup), then probably go with lighttpd because then you can use php.
