RE: Anyone have Ruby for IIS installer?

Yes. I can… very soon. I’m about 90% done with the tutorial.

here’s the basic concept:

IIS (80) Apache (8080)
================= ========================
/
/blog /blog
/wiki /wiki
/code /code
/about

Each rails app is configured as an Alias all on one VHOST

Apache conf :

Alias /code “e:/rails/blog/public”
FastCgiServer e:/rails/blog/public/dispatch.fcgi -idle-timeout 120
-initial-env RAILS_ENV=production -processes 1
<Directory e:/rails/blog/public>
Options ExecCGI FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride All

ISAPI rewrite rule: (one for each rails app)

RewriteProxy /blog(.*) http://internal.server.com:8080/blog$1 [I,U]

You need to do this for each app.

You also need to modify RewriteBase in your Rails .htaccess file.

Calls to “url_for” can sometimes reveal the backend server. My way
around that has been to make sure that Apache runs on the SAME BOX as
IIS. I then wrote a simple plugin which I will be sharing that you can
place in your production app to remove the :8080 proxy when url_for is
used. (requests then route back through IIS).

That’s the summary. I’ll be publishing the full howto later today or
tomorrow.

/thumbsup

That RewriteProxy line was what I needed to most.

Which ISAPIRewrite are you using?

Thanks for the tip, looking forward to the full tutorial,

This is exactly what i need! Where can I find the howto? (sorry if
this comes out twice)

Hi Brian,

 Good day, Have you published your Apache IIS howto? where can we

find it? If you happen to have even the simple text info. please can you
send it to me. I really need it badly. I’ve been struggling to make it
work. Any help would be appreciated.

regards,
Erwin
