Hi! I’m deploying a RoR app under Apache with Phusion Passenger (aka’ mod\_rails), but i rode at [Support](http://www.modrails.com/documentation.html) that isn’t good idea use it for a producction server. I was searching, and i got a lot of opinions about use/not use for production, the most negative opinions are around 2007/2008. I want to know if Phusion Passenger give the needed stability and security for use it at production server. - The only situation where is not recomendable to use, it’s at VPS/Share hosting because that: “mod\_ruby uses a shared interpreter per Apache process, which means that multiple Rails applications on the same Apache setup with mod\_ruby would share the framework classes. This doesn’t work well with the Rails model of using class-level configuration attributes, so it’s considered unsafe to use mod\_ruby and Rails with more than one application running per Apache setup, because different applications may start sharing the classes.” [http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/mod\_ruby](http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/mod_ruby) But thisn’t a problem for me, because i’m going to run only one app at the server. I aprecite all help. Thank you. ---

Mod\_Rails (Phusion Passenger) is different than Mod\_Ruby. You’ll enjoy using Mod\_Rails.

You misread that page. That page correctly states that mod\_ruby is not suitable for production hosting of Rails apps. However, mod\_ruby has absolutely nothing to do with Passenger (mod\_rails). > I was searching, and i got a lot of opinions about use/not use for > production, the most negative opinions are around 2007/2008. > > I want to know if Phusion Passenger give the needed stability and > security for use it at production server. Yes, absolutely! I recommend Passenger very highly. ## Best, Marnen Laibow-Koser [http://www.marnen.org](http://www.marnen.org) removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid
