Hi all I must set up a Dedicated Server for a large community which is based on ruby on rails. What is the best, fastest & most secure server solution/configuration for this? I found several different opinions on the web... - Lighttpd with fastcgi or mongrel - nginx with fastcgi or mongrel - apache 2 with fastcgi What do you think? What''s the best way?

Hi Thank you for your answers Have you got a tutorial or a step by step instruction for LiteSpeed?

Hi Hmm, this is not as much as I need :-( What do you think about the solution Apache 2 with some (4) Mongrels?

I would personally recommend either Phusion Passenger (Apache 2 with almost no configuration) or Nginx proxying to multiple Mongrels. Do check out passenger though, I don''t see any reason not to go with that as a default now. http://www.modrails.com/ -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I might be tempted to try passenger on our next server though.

I''d look at using Nginx with a mongrel cluster if you''re going to be deploying to a Linux-based envrionment.

How about the fair balancer patch for nginx ? We have deployed both, and found the app server to be able to withstand high loads. thanx.
