LiteSpeed Web Server 2.2 with Ruby Rails integration

Rails
1

Fellow Rail users and developers,

Right now the easiest way to run Rails is in combination with Mongrel.
However, it may not be a good idea to expose Mongrel directly to the
outside world in a high-load production environment. In-addition,
Mongrel_cluster + proxy + load balancer have to be used even for a
single server deployment making the unified setup more complicated than
needs be.

Yesterday, we released LiteSpeed Web Server 2.2 with major enhancement
on Rails configuration. With 2.2 release, you only need to tell LSWS the
Rail application’s root directory and URL bind paths. LSWS will take
care of everything else. No more manual configuring of FCGI, 404
handler/rewrite rules, proxy, load balancing, and etc.

Our new wiki for Rails Easy configuration:
http://www.litespeedtech.com/support/wiki/doku.php?id=litespeed_wiki:ruby_rails_easy

We believe we have created the easiest way to deploy Rails in a
production level environment with a track-record for scalability and
reliability.

Best Regards,
Xing Li

Sorry Xing, I think your buddy George already beat you to the post.

No need to apologise - ways to deploy Rails applications seem to be
evolving as fast as Rails itself, and everyone needs to know!

Hi,Xing
Does LiteSpeed support such function as mod_deflate in apache2.2 that
can compress javascripts/stylesheets which have a large size in ajax
based web application?

Frank,

LiteSpeed has builtin gzip compression, like mod_deflate, for your
dynamic ruby output or static text/css/javascript files. Check the doc:

Gzip compression is configurable at server or vhost level and you also
set which mime-types to compress.
