Rails on 2003

The site describing how to set up IIS on Windows 2003 for Rails appears
to be down:

http://www.bitslapped.nl/articles/2005/06/05/rails-on-windows-2003

Does anyone know anywhere else where this information can be found?

Hi,

Try googling “Rails on IIS Revisited”

And the doc section on the site “RubyforIIS” is inspired from you dead
link.

Thank you.

I’ve found this from the the RubyforIIS wiki page:

http://rubyforiis.sosukodo.org/rubyforiis/documentation/installationinstructionsforversion01

and am working my way through it.

I stuggle all day with it and could not get it to work. Installed Apache
1.3.x (using port 8080) and used that instead. Seems to be working fine.

My sysadmins wont ear about Apache, so I fall into IIS 6.0.

I was new to that http server, and after fighting some hours, my Ror
App works quite fast with 2003/IIS 6, credits to ISAPI_FastCGI and
Rails contributors for docs.

The most critical point is : “What damned checkbox, in what setup
screen, I’ve clicked for making that stuff working now.”

I’m still busy to fix some minor things like ?page=3 pagination
parameter is not recognized…

If you like to post your symptoms, I would help if I can.

Cheers,

W2003/IIS 6.0 (P4 w 512mb)

Ruby 1.8.2 (One Click installer)
Rubygems 0.8.11 installed from tgz
Rails 1.0 via Rubygems

ISAPI_FastCGI
ISAPI_Rewrite (i bought the full version, but eval works)

RubyforIIS

The step by step is covered in the link posted in this tread. The most
detailled is “Rails on IIS Revisited”.

Very important is the patch for request.rb in the actionpack lib, you
ca found it in this document.

Cheers,
