Anyone have IronRuby running rails in IIS7 on server 2k8?

I followed the following links:  
[http://ironruby.net/Documentation/Real\_Ruby\_Applications/Rails](http://ironruby.net/Documentation/Real_Ruby_Applications/Rails)  
[http://github.com/ironruby/ironruby/tree/master/Merlin/Main/Hosts/IronRuby.Rack#readme](http://github.com/ironruby/ironruby/tree/master/Merlin/Main/Hosts/IronRuby.Rack#readme)

I can run the app with script\server yet I am getting the error “Could  
not  
load file or assembly ‘IronRuby.Rack’ or one of its dependencies. The  
system  
cannot find the file specified.” I’m wondering if anyone has came  
across  
this issue. I’m working on creating a picture tutorial for setting up  
rails  
to run on IronRuby and this is causing a snag 🙂 Any advice or links  
would  
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,  
-CJ

Hi Chris,

Don’t know if you still need the help, but I put together a screencast  
this  
week that basically lays out what you need to do to get up and running  
under  
IIS7.

hope it helps.

Glad you dig it.

Yeah I should have mentioned the download link. I have run into weird  
path  
and security issues with the prog files directory. I rebuilt the  
solution  
because I actually tried using the project converter stuff and it was  
simply  
more of a pain in the ass than creating a proj for what I wanted.  
Especially  
seeing as how I wanted to build against the 1.0 assemblies. The compile  
issues were a snap infact i think I found a better solution that you  
posted  
a while back than my silly hack it till it works approach.

Did you ever figure out what the deal was with Rack 1.1.0?

Awesome! I added a link to it in the  
documentation[http://ironruby.net/Documentation/Real\_Ruby\_Applications/Rails#webserver-production](http://ironruby.net/Documentation/Real_Ruby_Applications/Rails#webserver-production).  
Some notes on the presentation if you care:

1. 

```
  Rather than download the bits with GIT (implying someone needs 

```

to install GIT), you can just use the zip file download:  
[http://github.com/ironruby/ironruby/zipball/v1.0-rtm](http://github.com/ironruby/ironruby/zipball/v1.0-rtm).

1. 

```
  What's the headache with IronRuby installing to "C:\Program 

```

Files (x86)" ?

1. 

```
  Interesting that you rebuild the sln and csproj files =P I 

```

think the project converter would have done that for you … but  
never-the-less what you did works too…

1. 

```
  Sorry about the sources being slightly out of date. Being that 

```

our internal source repo has been out of commission for some time, only  
the 1.0 branch was getting updated … and I did all the fixing to  
IronRuby.Rack in our main branch.

FYI, there ended up being no changes that were specific for Rack 1.1.0  
– just bug-fixes to IronRuby.Rack in general.
