Hi there!

I’m a newbie in ruby and this is my question:

I have to put the all the apps files in the same root directory (like  
‘c:\ruby’)?

'Cause my projects have a fairly complex structure (they’re not only  
apps/websites), so I have a structure that looks like the following:

C:\Projects\Project1  
C:\Projects\Project2  
an so on…

And, for example, I have “[http://localhost/project1](http://localhost/project1)” pointing to “C:  
\Projects\Project1\Web”

And I want to put the ruby app INSIDE the project directory, like  
‘Project1\ruby’, ‘Project2\ruby’, and so on, rather than ‘ruby  
\Project1’, ‘ruby\Project2’, etc.

Is that possible?

PS: My intention is to put Ruby to run under IIS, not Apache. I  
already work with ASP, [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) and PHP pages under it, so I really  
don’t want to have another web server running.  
Nothing against Apache, really. It just is far easier to put PHP to  
run under IIS than to put ASP/ASP.NET to run under Apache. =)

Thanks in advance.
