i just discovered this and i find it very strange nobody mentioned it on this forum yet. i think it is great news: an apache module for rails, super easy deployment, ideal for shared hosting and even a little faster than mongrel. they claim it is very stable already http://www.modrails.com cheers Remco

Well, I've read a bit about it. I'm looking forward to hearing about any experiences. Raul ----- Original Message ----- From: "Remco Hh" <ruby-forum-incoming@andreas-s.net> To: <rubyonrails-deployment@googlegroups.com> Sent: Friday, April 18, 2008 2:04 PM Subject: [Rails-deploy] modrails

We've had people playing with it today and will continue to experiment over the weekend. We'll have a full write up about it on Monday. Thanks, Jesse Proudman Blue Box Group, LLC p. 800-613-4305 x 801

We put it up on a site that's getting quite a bit of traffic now (since its closely adult in nature): http://bangmeter.com We built this test site over the weekend to see how well it would do with lots of hits all the time. This is a dual core server with 2 gigs of ram, rails 2.0.2, mysql and very little code. No caching. Things are pretty fast right now. We're getting about 5-10 pageviews per second on the rails app. Some stats: Rails processes running: 3 memory per process: 28megs - 32megs server load: 0.04 (yes, 0.04) All in all, mod_passenger is worth it. We're heading into tonight when (ahem!) we should get a lot more traffic. I'll report back tomorrow. Regards - Ericson On Fri, Apr 18, 2008 at 6:53 PM, Jesse Proudman <jesse@blueboxgrp.com>

I have already installed it a played with a bunch this last week. I posted a short blog on getting it to work on the mac on my blog http://dysinger.net/2008/04/14/installing-apache-and-mod_rails-on-mac-os-x-leopard/ It's a nice setup. It's going to be on shared host provider's sites. It's not that big of a deal for big sites - nginx & mongrel + monit is probably the best setup to date. Ebb looks pretty cool down the road.
