Hello everybody,
because I have to setup radiant&rubyworks installations again and again,
I made a step-by-step instruction list for setting up debian, mysql and
rubyworks (in a vmware) and how to install radiant on top of this.
I hope you like it:

p.s. feel free to comment and suggest improvements.
p.s.s. I’m looking for new rails projects (bay area) - please contact me

What kind of experience have you had with rubyworks? Are there any
valid
reasons to consider changing from a load balanced mongrel setup?
Chris,

My experiences with rubyworks was 90% positive. It’s a very reliable and
easy to install enviroment.
some minor issues:
- not everything is available for all distributions, especially I
couldn’t
get rmagick running on debian 64bit (should be fixed soon)
- monit supports sending email when server are being restarted (because
they don’t respond anymore). But the (stable) version used in rubyworks
doesn’t support smtp authentification.
- for a high load enviroment there should be an additional webserver
which
delivers the static content. This is missing in rubyworks right now (but
one developer told me that they plan this for the next major release)
The pro and cons of haproxy for load balancing are discussed here:
http://rubyworks.rubyforge.org/manual/haproxy.html
But even with these minor issues, rubyworks is still an pleasure to work
with. Everything works out of the box and is preconfigured in a good
way.

J.F.
