Just a couple of thoughts:

- Any reason why, when someone says they want to turn off the  
pluralizer, Rails doesn’t just

- Any reason why ActiveRecord::Errors, which has an each() method,  
shouldn’t “include Enumerable”?

Best,

This is true. However, we turn off table name pluralization, not all  
pluralization. A minor distinction, but some users may rely on these  
semantics. I’d prefer to turn the valve at the source, as you  
suggest, after 1.0. Care to post an enhancement?

Nope! Changeset 2981.

You might also try SCGI: [http://www.zedshaw.com/projects/scgi\_rails](http://www.zedshaw.com/projects/scgi_rails)

Fast and Ruby-based, with a module for Apache 1.3 or 2.0. That’s what  
I’m using for developing all my new apps. They’re deployed on  
Linux/FCGI, but my dev environment is fine with that.

Hello all,

I’m having a hell of a time getting Rails running under Apache for  
Windows. I’ve created a rails app- myapp - and run it under webrick and  
it works fine. I’ve followed the instructions on

[http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/Fast+CGI+and+Apache2+for+Windows+XP](http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/Fast+CGI+and+Apache2+for+Windows+XP)

and I simply can’t get it working at all. Does anyone have any pointers  
to alternative setup instructions or have any suggestions? Basically it  
works to the point of:

"Now open a browser and type in ?\YourRailsAppName?

you should load the default Welcome to Rails page with blazing \FastCGI  
speeds."

but if i was to do \MyApp\friends\view - for example, it can’t find the  
file which leads me to believe that the rails side of things is not  
working and it was simply loading the default welcome page as an  
ordinary html page.

I’m going absolutely nuts over this… any help would really really be  
appreciated!

Thanks,

Alastair
