Are you asking if webrick can serve up php (the answer is no), which operating system would work nicely, something else ? Fred ---

We use Linux (Fedora, but Ubuntu would be better) and have Apache proxying requests to a mongrel cluster. Requests to files that actually exist don’t go to mongrel, and if you have php installed on the server, apache will route them to the php interpreter. We needed this because we use a PHP based WYSIWYG editor in our rails app, nice and complicated! Brendon On Apr 17, 10:17 pm, Frederick C.
