Due to the dramatic differences between Windows and Unix(s), porting the
whole LSWS product is a not a easy task, however, a dedicated Rails
application server is possible, if the demand is high enough.
Would a VMWare image be a good way of giving Windows users something to
work with? It could contain a configured and running LiteSpeed/Rails/DB
setup on Linux or BSD.
I am currently using mongrel + apache 2.2 with mod_proxy_balancer.
The LSAPI stuff got me a little confused, is it that if i use LSAPI of
Litespeed and remove mongrel, it will be faster? Or it is meant to be in
conjunction with mongrel?
I was just wondering, what is the best configuration with Litespeed?

Litspeed is independent of Mongrel if you use their LSAPI setup. If you
use their proxy config then you need to use Mongrel.

Justin,
Thanks! Thatβs a pretty good idea, and pretty easy to do. It is good
solution for someone familiar with Linux to try it on a windows machine.
LiteSpeed can be used together with Mongrel or Ruby LSAPI, LSAPI will
give a little bit better performance according third party benchmarks,
but the difference is not that big. http://wota.jp/ac/?date=20060608
