I have been away from Rails for a year now, but I have been maintaining a site which runs on rails. It's still hosted on textdrive served by lighttpd with fastcgi. There's something inherently wrong with fastcgi and file uploading. Something about an end of line issue, but mongrel kept dieing too.
The site keeps on crashing, so I have scripts running that basically restart the webservice every so often, but that's just unacceptable for more serious work. I can't go to a client and explain what the error was. They don't care. The site uses RMagick to resize images and does some basic file uploading. I have been in the PHP world for a year now, and I feel that PHP is much more stable and portable than Rails. I am at a loss at finding any good reasons to choose Rails, other than I like the Ruby language. Rails is not as portable as PHP. The sites are generally slow because they require a bunch of CPU and shared environments don't have the resources. My compromise so far is that Rails is very demanding for small projects. Do you know of any reasons that makes Rails well suited for small projects and I don't mean microsites or brochure sites. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
