Rails on IIS

Rails

Hi Zed
I have seen various tutorials on setting up ror on iis - I havn’t tried
any
at this stage. However, in a month or so I need to roll out a re
written
jboss/j2ee(running through iis isapi tomcat redirector) application in
ror
on windows/iis. It is only going to be supporting 20 users max so I’m
confident iis/mongrel or fcgi would be ok.

I would like to use mongrel (its functioning well on our dev server) but
do
not have much of a clue where to start. Is it possible? I think its
fair
to say windows will not provide the performance of linux but a simple
install process would go a long way. Unfortunately IIS is widely used!!

Is it possible to run mongrel with iis?

Cheers

Frazer

My experience with this is don’t bother. Apache is easy to set up behind
IIS. You can forward requests using ISAPI Rewrite and nobody will know
the
difference.

We are using this now and we are a windows shop. Eventually we’ll
implement
ISA server as our proxy.

can you run virtual hosts with mongrel or webrick? I know how to setup
virtual host in Apache2 but no clue how to setup mongrel. Let me know
please.
Thank you,
