Hi All,  
Presently i have implemented an application using rails 2.2.2.  
It has :  
1.mongrel 1.1.2  
2.apache 1.3  
3.rubygems 1.3.1  
4.ruby 1.8.6

But i am not using apache so far because i am not worried about load.  
Using single mongel i am running my application.

Now i want to deploy it to apache with mongrelclustres.

Can any one suggest how to implement this feature?

Thanks  
Srikanth

Honestly you’d be better off using apache with mod\_rails.

Mongrels are just a pain to manage…

It’s not a matter of being worried with load only… it’s a matter of  
deployment simplicity.

I agree. Dump mongrels and look at Phusion’s Passenger instead  
([modrails.com](http://modrails.com)  
).
