Hi Sazima,

I have never heard of any activity progressing in this direction.

All i see and have read is Demanding for this support.

Can you kindly point me to few sources on which you have made this
statement.

This willcomeas a big sense of relief for many of us.

Maybe you weren’t looking hard enough? It’s been about 4 weeks since
the initial release, and there are already several hosting companies
offering Rails support through Passenger:

Dreamhost, one of the largest shared hosts in the world, is deploying
and testing Passenger as we speak.

Shared hosts tend to have lots and lots of servers (hundreds), and
they can’t switch their infrastructure over night. So 4 hosts adopting
Passenger in 4 weeks is already quite fast.

Hi,

I’m not talking about any specific solution, but the general progress
rails has done so far. Did you ever wonder how deployment was done in
the early days? Mongrel cluster, capistrano, mod_rails are all
progresses. This trend makes me believe good solutions will exist for
rails in the future. Do you remember running PHP as CGI back in
1998? :slight_smile:

Cheers, Sazima
