    Ruby and Ruby on rails support on IIS 5.1 IIS 6.0

    Hi,

    Currently  Ruby and Ruby on Rails is facing lots of limitation while working with Mongrel, WebRick and up to some extent on Apache. The Ruby community is also facing the hosting problems without the proper support from Windows.

    Working and configuring Ruby on rails perfectly with Windows XP is also not Possible.

    Now since this FastCGI has arrived as a sign of big relief, we expect the IIS Team to look more deeply in this matter and offer us a working solution as soon as possible. This support will also boost IronRuby developers, who are currently busy learning Ruby on Windows.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I request the moderators to make this thread sticky as a single solution to find everything pertaining to Ruby and Ruby or rails under one thread, making it easier to find the solutions as a single junction only.

    Attn Ruby and Ruby On rails Developers:-

    Please Post all your common problems as well as Solution under this thread only. Helping all to find a quick solution as well as preventing a duplicate post for common threads.

    Thanks

    Hello,

    We are very interested in getting Ruby on Rails to work great with IIS and FastCGI.

    Our challenge is that we just are not well educated on Ruby in general.  We would love to have your help in this area.  If you can provide specific technical problems that we need to address, we would be very happy to investigate.  Please feel free to post them here.

    As for making this thread sticky, I would rather keep the thread near the top by having some good dialog.  Once we've addressed the problems and have specific guidance on making Ruby work in general - or making specific Ruby apps work - we will write up articles dedicated to the subject and post them on this site so that everyone can get them.

    Thanks,

    -Wade

    Note, Mike posted some steps to get Ruby working on the TechPreview...I assume they still work.  They may be of use to the Ruby community reading this thread:  http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2007/02/18/10-steps-to-get-Ruby-on-Rails-running-on-Windows-with-IIS-FastCGI.aspx

    As Wade says, it would be great to get some help from the community experts! thanks!
