I have one dedicated server for all my various projects (both PHP as well as Rails) and will be getting a second server to run only the Rails apps on. What is the ideal server setup in terms of RAM vs. Processor Speed (more RAM or more processor speed?) and should I use Apace, lighttpd, mongrel, or what? I''ve got the money to afford something pretty solid...just don''t know exactly what would be best. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Apache 2.2, mod-proxy and Mongrel. Or pound and Mongrel Lighty is supposed to be fixing up mod-proxy, so it will be good with Mongrel soon. Definitely stay in the Mongrel camp, and leave Fast-cgi alone. Timothy Johnson www.foundinteractive.com -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Runs my Rails apps (3) very nice. More RAM is of course always better if you can afford it. I run the litespeed+mongrel combo on debian and like it very much so far. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
