I’m looking into using IronRuby.Rack  
([http://github.com/tenball/ironruby/tree/master/Merlin/Main/Hosts/IronRuby.Rack/](http://github.com/tenball/ironruby/tree/master/Merlin/Main/Hosts/IronRuby.Rack/)  
) to deploy a Ruby on Rails app on an IIS server. However there  
appears to be a project file missing in github for the  
Microsoft.Dynamic project, because when I open the solution, it cannot  
load the project because the file is missing.

Also, if anyone has experienced deploying Rails apps on IIS, I’d  
really appreciate any insight/lessons learned you may have.

Thanks

Matt

I’ve been trying too. The file isn’t missing for me but I have other  
issues.  
I think I’ve submitted bugs for those.

I still have 1 issue I need to deal with and that is the fact that  
currently  
it won’t work in a virtual directory. But I’m actively looking at making  
ironruby.rack working again. I need it for my last chapter

## It would be great to get this working end to end.
