I think you still might be better off using Mongrel for you little
experiment. This is the path I chose, I setup a very small app using
InstantRails that has maybe 5 very low volume users and am hosting it on
a Win XP workstation running Mongrel as a service in production mode.
If you are using the latest InstantRails package, Mongrel is already
included but is just not the default so you really don’t have to do
anything special to start using it. If the company is really that open
source adverse, then I would think that Rails itself might be an issue.

Subject: Re: [Rails] Re: Rails in a Windows World
Thanks for the help on this everyone. I know that webrick isn't
meant to be a heavy duty production web server, but if we had an
application with only a few (less than 5) users and a not very complex
application would it be acceptable?
I think getting something like MySQL into my company wouldn't be
too difficult. But they are EXTREMELY open source adverse. So Apache
and mongrel and solutions like that could be difficult. It’s too bad
that IIS isn’t really an option (not that I like it, but some people are
kind of forced into it).
From all the comments it sounds like trying to force a Rails app
into something like IIS and/or MS SQL Server would be a bad choice for a
first Rails app. I would hate for my little experiment to fail because
of infrastructure problems. Thanks.

No, Apache 2.x will be in Instant Rails 2, which is a
