Thanks! I’ve already added something equivalent, but haven’t checked it in; I’ll get to it soon. For anyone else who needs this, just apply Ivan’s patch for now.

But I still wasn’t able to run my rails app from IIS. I modified my IronRuby.Rack version to have web.config etc in the public folder but [config.ru](http://config.ru) in the rackup folder. That’s the way passenger does it too and that makes absolute paths for images, stylesheets etc will work out better. But regardless of what I use the original code + the earlier sent patch. Or the one that starts in public I get this error when it’s trying to run a rails app [http://gist.github.com/328343](http://gist.github.com/328343) ## [http://gist.github.com/328343](http://gist.github.com/328343)Any help/pointers you can give me would be greatly appreciated Met vriendelijke groeten - Best regards - Salutations Ivan Porto C.

Ivan, did you ever figure this out? The problem is that rails-2.3.5 ships with a private copy of rack-1.0.1. However, if you have the latest version of rack installed too (rack-1.1.0), IronRuby.Rack by default will load the latest version \>=1.0.0 (meaning 1.1.0), but then rails will fail to load its own copy when booting. To prevent this, install rack-1.0.1 and force it to be loaded by IronRuby.Rack by specifying the “RackVersion” in web.config’s appSettings: WRT the public folder, I prefer a slightly different solution: [config.ru](http://config.ru) and web.config in the same directory, but web.config will have an option for telling IronRuby.Rack what folder it should serve static content out of, and by default it will be “public”. I wouldn’t consider web.config static content, so I’d prefer keeping it out of the public folder. In fact, the version of IronRuby.Rack in GIT does not support requesting static files at all, as all requests are routed through IronRuby.Rack and nowhere does it say “if requested file exists: serve it and finish request”. If you’ve run a rails app through IronRuby.Rack and haven’t seen images, that’s why, but will be fixed once we push new bits to GIT. ~js From: [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) [[mailto:removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)] On Behalf Of Ivan Porto Carrero Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2010 1:05 PM To: [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] ironruby.rack patch But I still wasn’t able to run my rails app from IIS.
