Hi all,

I’ve greated a rails application and i want to deploy it right now.  
I have to use a windows 2003 server… So i installed

i’ve used the following tutorial:

[http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/RailsOnWindows](http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/RailsOnWindows)

My application is running at : [http://loc.iwsweb.nl](http://loc.iwsweb.nl)

But everytime i connect it opens a ruby process but at the end it won’t  
kill it.

As you can see the loading speed is horrible, but it’s a fast server  
with a 100mbit connection.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance,

Daan

Are you using Apache or Lighty?

Please post your .htaccess and the part of your httpd.conf that you  
modified

IMHO Seems to be ok.

Ive readed that there are some issues with apache and fcgi. Search  
google about that.  
Lighttpd has better performance. Try lighty have you?  
I used ligthy on my w2000 box.
