InstantRails problem

Rails
1

I am using InstantRails, and i have the webrick server running on port
3000. when i run the rails app, i cannot run another instance of it.
So only 1 person can use the app at a time.

how do i allow multiple instances?

More than one person can use it, however Webbrick is single threaded so
is not efficient.

You should use mongrel cluster, with a load balancer in front of it.
Apache or Pound are two load balancers that can be used.

  1. Pound:

    (the apache & lighttpd stuff is not nessessary but interesting as a
    sidenote)

  2. Apache:

The latest InstantRails use Mongrel as the server, and can be started
on different port for different applications. Not good enough?
