I am wondering if Rails has been ported successfully to run on Ruby 1.9,  
and  
what web-servers run Ruby 1.9 without issues, at least for playing  
around with.  
On the Rails website I don’t see any mention of Ruby 1.9 support.

Would others please share links they’ve found good write ups on related  
to Ruby 1.9.

Kind Regards,

Rails 2.3 work does without issue on Ruby 1.9 (well, Rails 2.3.4 has a  
newly introduced bug, but :). I know Passenger has no issues with  
Ruby 1.9, and the FastCGI handler has no problems either, but I  
haven’t tested with anything else yet. Of course, not all gems or  
plugins may be compatible with 1.9, but I personally haven’t run into  
issue in those regards. You might get some more thoughtful answers on  
the Rails list though.

Was able to install Passenger/Nginx from source, looked a bit daunting  
but  
panned out really well, thanks for the tip.

Next step is running a test Ruby 1.9/Rails app.
