I think many here may be using Instant Rails, hence my question. One one  
client’s server, running instant rails, which is on a Windows 2003  
Server  
box, set to start up automatically when the server is restarted, Apache  
keeps shutting down.

I have checked the logs and can find no reason therein for this. Has  
anyone  
experienced a similar problem? Thanks, R. Vince

Hard to tell what’s going on without more information.

Also, remember that Apache is only bundled with InstantRails to serve  
phpmyadmin (when I last checked), which you don’t even need to use  
(and was questionable to include in the first place). Migrations are  
wonderful.

I certainly wouldn’t recommend trying to use an InstantRails install  
as a production server!
