Hi There, I am facing with this problem where I am trying to install mongrel in my dev env having developed an application with Ruby 1.9.1, rails 2.3.5 and in Windows. When I use WeBrick the aplication works perfectly. But I wanna try running this app with either mongrel or thin. But bad luck, none of them is working. I wil try to explain all the thins I did to finally arrive at the error. Please do help me in this. Installation on Mongrel : 1. Googling enlightned me that Ruby 1.9.1 supports only mongrel-1.1.6 version. So I had downloaded the mongrel 1.1.6 version from [http://github.com/radar/mongrel](http://github.com/radar/mongrel) URL. 2. Running the gem install mongrel-1.1.6.gem gives me the following error. =================================================================== I:\Technology\RoR\gems\radar-mongrel-c39b9a4\radar-mongrel-c39b9a4\>gem instal mo ngrel-1.1.6.gem --local --platform=ruby Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit… Building native extensions.

Hello, For either mongrel or thin to install, they need a Ruby installation capable of compiling extensions. The error you’re receiving is clearly that, the inability of your installation to compile. I would suggest you use RubyInstaller version of 1.9.1 in combination with our DevKit. You can find more information and even details of this in our website along with tutorials: > **[RubyInstaller for Windows](https://rubyinstaller.org/)** > > The easy way to install Ruby on Windows This is a self-contained Windows-based installer that includes the Ruby language, an execution environment, important...

Something to note: that specific repository is not the oficial Mongrel one. Version 1.1.6 never existed, and fauna holds the official codebase, which is compatible with Ruby 1.9.1 but not newer Rails: [http://github.com/fauna/mongrel/](http://github.com/fauna/mongrel/) ---

Hi Luis, Thanks verymuch for the lead. I got them installed and things are going on well. But I am still in a fix. I am thinking of using THIN server for my production mode. But I think it would be good if I have a cluster of servers running so that it will be easy to reproduce a linux env. But the bad thing is that I am using a WINDOWS machine, (in this case) so no demonization, no clusters or any useful things which we can do in the wonderful linux. So please can you suggest a way of acheiving this in the WINDOWS machine. Or is it possible to use the Apache + multiple (Thin / Mongrel) servers combination in the WINDOWS machine. Regards, Sandy.

You’re right and I was wrong: [http://nginx.org/en/docs/windows.html](http://nginx.org/en/docs/windows.html) I remember back in 0.6 only cygwin support was available.

Hi All, Going through the NGINX documentation, I learn that “…nginx/Windows runs as a standard console application, not a service …” So I feel that both thin and NGINX server the same purpose in the windows environment. Please do correct me if I am wrong. By the way I am facing an error when I am trying to proxy the thin server via the Apache server. I am getting the DNS failed # ====================================================== [Tue Aug 24 23:14:34 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] proxy: DNS lookup failure for: www.sssmh.org:3000javascripts returned by /javascripts/jquery.js, referer: [http://www.sssmh.org/](http://www.sssmh.org/) Like this the same error is repeated for all the public folder renderings (Images, Javascripts, css).
