Rails is slow on Apache!

Rails
1

Hi ,
I have rails running on my development machine. I have installed
mod_ruby
and set up the httpd.conf file to add handlers for .rb files. But the
speed
I get is still slow compared to webrick which is blazingly fast.
I have 2 questions

  1. How do I determine if mod_ruby is loaded and is being used to run my
    ruby
    scripts ?
  2. Which of these fcgi /mod_ruby is faster ?
    Thanks

  1. Don’t know, but mod_ruby is no choice if you want a fast responding
    app, at all.

  2. See 1.

If you have a Debian System, you may want to follow my quick HowTo to
setup Fcgi.

Vivek,

Not to confuse you but here is another good looking debian way, with
apache2
and lighttpd and scgi. (I wrote looking because I want to pursue it
myself,
but haven’t yet). Links about the latter two:

http://www.zedshaw.com/projects/scgi_rails/index.html
http://brainspl.at/rails_stack.html

I’m a hoster and very fond of apache2. Since I use a lot of apache’s
features
I’m not able (and probably willing) to completely replace (read kick
out)
apache2. The plan is to see how a proxy works. That way rails apps are
redirected to an internal higher prot number, and I get to keep apache
running as is.

An finding you might have are welcome … :slight_smile:

Regards,

Gerard.
