Hi All, After upgrading to 1.1 + on a production VPS which was using a combination of Apache 1.33 + SCGI serving up Rails 1.0 app across multiple domains I ran into some major instability problems which I could not pin down (although some very suspicious POSTs were showing up in the log files that can''t have been good). As an experiment I went with the new way of thinking Mongrel and it cleared up the instability issues instantly, had one rails app running for 2 weeks with no crashing (SCGI was falling over every couple of days) Absolutely painless setup; the only complication was I wanted the PreserveHost directive running on 1.33 which required patching the build of Apache. I''ll post up a full how to for those CPanel users out there on my blog late tonight.. Cheers Rowan --- http://raili.st/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Zed has done a fabulous job making the deployment of a rails app via Mongrel as easy and painless as possible. Extra props for actually acknowledging that there *is* a subset of us using Windows (some of us have no choice, guys!) by providing a dead simple install- rails-app-as-a-service script. Well done, sir.

In a word - yes :) PreserveHost isn''t in the standard 1.33 mod_proxy source.
