The site describing how to set up IIS on Windows 2003 for Rails appears to be down: [http://www.bitslapped.nl/articles/2005/06/05/rails-on-windows-2003](http://www.bitslapped.nl/articles/2005/06/05/rails-on-windows-2003) Does anyone know anywhere else where this information can be found? ---

I’ve found this from the the RubyforIIS wiki page: [http://rubyforiis.sosukodo.org/rubyforiis/documentation/installationinstructionsforversion01](http://rubyforiis.sosukodo.org/rubyforiis/documentation/installationinstructionsforversion01) and am working my way through it. ---

I stuggle all day with it and could not get it to work. Installed Apache 1.3.x (using port 8080) and used that instead. Seems to be working fine. ---

My sysadmins wont ear about Apache, so I fall into IIS 6.0. I was new to that http server, and after fighting some hours, my Ror App works quite fast with 2003/IIS 6, credits to ISAPI\_FastCGI and Rails contributors for docs. The most critical point is : “What damned checkbox, in what setup screen, I’ve clicked for making that stuff working now.” I’m still busy to fix some minor things like ?page=3 pagination parameter is not recognized… If you like to post your symptoms, I would help if I can.

Any help would be appreciated. thanks! W2003/IIS 6.0 (P4 w 512mb) Ruby 1.8.2 (One Click installer) Rubygems 0.8.11 installed from tgz Rails 1.0 via Rubygems ISAPI\_FastCGI ISAPI\_Rewrite (i bought the full version, but eval works) RubyforIIS The step by step is covered in the link posted in this tread.
