similar to: web server q -- playing nice w/ PHP

hello. i''d like to share some feelings of mine after a couple of *weeks* intermittent attempts to have rails applications working on windows (XP) with fastcgi performances under apache (2.0). i''d say the software stack i''m using now will be fairly common as more and more new rails developers will join the bandwagon. what is stunning me is the fact that, even if

This might be obvious to everyone but it is something that i haven''t been able to find an answer to. Do I need to have either scgi/fastcgi/cgi running on either lighttpd/apache for ruby scripts to work? If yes, why? I have installed the scgi server and i can get the service to run, i have also installed the following mod_fastcgi/2.4.2 mod_ruby/1.2.4 Ruby/1.8.2(2004-12-25) mod_scgi,

Or does anybody prefer fastcgi/fcgi? I''m using webrick for development, but plan on using scgi when I switch to production (because it appears to be an update to fastcgi, and I couldn''t get fastcgi working anyhow). thanks csn __________________________________ Yahoo!

Hi all, as part of adopting Rails in my company I had to go through the hassle of setting up a Rails production environment on Win32 system since we mostly use MS SQL as our database back end and also because we mostly dealing with customers who become green-blue-purple as soon as you mention Unix/Linux and run for the door. I also need to mention that most of our web applications are internal and

Hi, While learning Ruby and Rails, I decided I just as well learn Linux along the way... It''s been fun, but I''m stuck at one of those exasperating moments... I hope someone can help me :) I installed Ruby 1.8.4 on Fedora Core 4, then Rails, then lighty, and then SCGI. I used yum to install lighty... and it already comes with mod_scgi. I created my first application in

Hi All, Just about to set up RoR on our server and was wondering what the ideal setup for RoR is these days? Apache 1? Apache 2? fCgi? Any guidance would be helpful! Thanks, -Adam

I see that lighttpd 1.3.14 supports SCGI. lighttpd 1.3.14 - 2005-06-15 18:10 Changes ------- * added SCGI support via mod_scgi * added hash-based and round-robin load balancing to mod_proxy * fixed range requests larger than 2Gb * fixed compilation on Solaris * fixed endless loops in mod_fastcgi, mod_cgi and mod_proxy * fixed handling of URIs for ''+'' and

two problems, pls help...I''m under big pressure at work to fix this! I''m having trouble getting scgi and lighttpd running on windows - here''s what I did: On Win XP, I installed ruby, rubygems, and setup my rails app. All works fine with webrick. I then did: gem install cmdparse and gem install highline (as required for the scgi_rails gem according to

I''ve seen several postings where FastCGI is being used with RoR projects, yet, most of the material I''ve read (Dave Thomas'' book, online articles, etc) recommend not using FastCGI anymore because it is a dormant project and hasn''t been updated since 2003 (I think???). So, I went out and got Simple CGI instead. It had to be compiled and installed from

Hi all, can you recommend me which web server config to use for developing rails on windows machine. I tried webrick, which is good but it''s annoying because console window is in taskbar for every site running and it have to be started manually. Apache with CGI is to slow and using FastCGI on the other side brings me lot of problems, like randomly not working RoR sites. Any help is

I see that the RubyOnRails.com site has migrated to Mongrel with Apache as a front-end proxy. Is that now the/a recommended setup for Rails apps? We''re still using FCGI but I''m always interested to learn more about other folk''s successful deployment choices. Across all of our sites we''re pumping out about 300k pages per day so anything that saves memory or has

Hi , I have rails running on my development machine. I have installed mod_ruby and set up the httpd.conf file to add handlers for .rb files. But the speed I get is still slow compared to webrick which is blazingly fast. I have 2 questions 1. How do I determine if mod_ruby is loaded and is being used to run my ruby scripts ? 2. Which of these fcgi /mod_ruby is faster ? Thanks vivek --------------

Hi All, Alright, this release is getting closer. It''s nearly complete except the docs on my site aren''t written yet. There is however a full README with RDoc documentation and several packages including a gem release. Please check out the latest release at: * Announcement: http://www.zedshaw.com/ * README and RDoc:

Why isnt the RoR community focusing on robust and scalable mod_perl style of Apache environment, rather then splintering all over the place with lighthttp, mongrel, WEBrick, SCGI, fcgi, etc??? Its frustrating as someone who is trying to migrate to RoR. Its very unlikely I would ever get a contract to work on any webserver except Apache, so it would seem logicaly to focus all our efforts to

I''m trying to get an application running in a sub directory of a site using apache and scgi. The application runs fine with webrick. I have a site. Let''s call it "mysite.org". There is a variety of content on that site. I would like to add a rails application to that site. Let''s call the application "myapp". So we will have urls of the form

Or maybe I crash it and don''t know why. Here is the setup: I have an action that will crash my debian sarge development box using fcgid, fastcgi and scgi running with Apache2, as well as fastcgi running with lighttpd, every time. Here is the action from the controller: ------------------- def crashme @orders = Order.find(:all, :order => "`id` ASC", :offset

Hi, Love Rails... I''m looking for a Production Quality Server that brings the same ease of use as Rails does to web development. I''ve tried TextDrive, and never got it to work. I''m sure there are good reasons why it didn''t work but they are beyond me. I''ve contacted tech support there several times, and it seems that there are so many setups that

I just switched my rails app over to production mode, couldn''t get it working, switched it back to development mode, and now nothing gets outputted in the browser. I''m sure I''ve missed something in the configs. Setup: Lighttpd/SCGI on WinXP, Rails 1.0. Environment.rb: ENV[''RAILS_ENV''] ||= ''development'' require

Hi ! I was talking to a seasider and he asked me if it was easy to do the following thing using rails : 1) ask a number to the user 2) ask a second number 3) give the addition of the two number and a link to be able to replay All these things have to be done in one controller and one action, there is no need for verification and other stuff. I tried but I''ve got some problems

Hello, I have tried to setup Ruby-on-rails on my debian Linux machine and can not get it to run. Maybe someone can help.
