I’m getting ready to deploy a Ruby on Rails application on a Windows
server using Apache 2.0 and FastCGI. However, I’m having trouble
compiling the ruby-fcgi bindings for Windows. Does anyone know where I
can find some pre-compiled binaries, or at least a guide on how to
compile the bindings? If no binaries are available, is there a way to
use a pure ruby version, and if so how?
First off, don’t bother. It’s not going to give you what you want. Get
Apache 2.2, install Mongrel on Windows, and configure your system to use
that setup. Let me know if you need help. I do have instructions on my
site at
http://www.napcs.com/howto/rails/deploy/index.html
including one on FastCGI, but I really really don’t recommend that one.
Let me know if I can be of more assistance.
