How can I determine which server is used

Rails
#1

Rails 2.3.15
The system may be run using mongrel or apache/passenger. Some functions
are not supported in mongrel 1.1.5 but work in apache/passengertherefore
I want to know what server is being used so I canalter behavior as
needed.

How can I determine in a controller which server is serving the system?

Thanks

I suppose you could check the environment from within the relevant
function.

Pretty crude but you could check defined?(PhusionPassenger)

Thanks Frederick and Joel. Turns out SERVER_SOFTWARE is defined as
“Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu)” in the environment so I can use that and also
PhusionPassenger is defined when running under passenger so that would
work also. Both are fairly crude but they work and that is what I
need. I would prefer to know mongrel is running but that does not seem
as easy and this will work.
