Hi, This message might be helpful for people who is using or plan to use LiteSpeed web server together with Rails. We posted two tutorials in our WIKI regarding Rails + LiteSpeed configuration. One is Rails + LiteSpeed API, another one is mongrel + LiteSpeed proxy. http://www.litespeedtech.com/community/wiki/doku.php?id=litespeed_wiki:ruby_rails http://www.litespeedtech.com/community/wiki/doku.php?id=litespeed_wiki:ruby_rails_mongrel We highly recommend Rails + LiteSpeed API to Rails hosting providers. It has a better solution to a big problem that cannot be well solved in other setup - dynamic spawning. Due to the high cost and long delays at Rails framework startup, usually, fixed number of Rails applications need to be started at server startup time, no matter how high or how low the traffic volumes are. It is not flexible and number of Rails applications can be hosted on one server is severely limited by it memory size. Rails + LSAPI minimizes the startup cost of Rails framework and make dynamic spawning less problematic, number of Rails instances needed can be dynamically adjusted by web server based on traffic volume. System resource will be used more efficiently and hosting more Rails applications on one server becomes possible. Comments are welcome. :-) Best Regards, George Wang
