Hi All
I am having difficulties setting up the lighttpd.conf file for running
Ruby
on Rails on my windows 2003 server. I have actually managed to get it up
and running by trial and error, but it is very slow.
Not fully understanding the lighttpd.conf file I suspect that maybe it
is
not running fastcgi, but only cgi since I have heard that this would be
slow.
Maybe it it is not necessary to include the mod_cgi at all ?
My lighttpd.con file i pasted below. Any ideas are most welcome.
lighttpd.conf
lighttpd configuration file
use a it as base for lighttpd 1.0.0 and above

You need to let Ruby handle .rb, .cgi and .fcgi files
cgi.assign = ( “.rb” => “E:/ruby/bin/rubyw.exe”,
“.fcgi” => “E:/ruby/bin/rubyw.exe”,
“.cgi” => “E:/ruby/bin/rubyw.exe”)
5 .fcgi spawns seem to work fine for a reasonable load
fastcgi.server = (
“.fcgi” =>
( “appname” =>
( “min-procs” => 1,
“max-procs” => 2,
“socket” =>
“E:/apache2triad/htdocs/appname/public/tmp/ruby-railsapp.fastcgi”,
“bin-path” =>
“E:/apache2triad/htdocs/appname/public/dispatch.fcgi”,
“bin-environment” => (“RAILS_ENV” => “development”)
)
)
)
