That's how Rails works in production mode. All classes are cached. Views, because they are not classes, are not cached. On 10/20/07, Elliott Blatt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi Jeff, > > Thanks for your swift reply. > > If I kill this dispatch.fcgi, the updated controllers will be reloaded?

nginx + mongrel_cluster is a really good solution if you don't need apache OR don't want to / can't install Apache 2.2. Apache 2.2+mongrel_cluster is great if you need to use Apache, but nginx is lighter and easier to configure (it does less stuff). Stay away from mod_ruby or fastcgi. mod_ruby wi

Depends on how paranoid you are :) Even if you set up your own, there's no telling how theirs will be set up. I've seen people's sessions get goofed cos the sysadmin had cookie caching turned on. It's been my experience that the app runs the same with apache+mod_proxy_balancer as with nginx. That

I wrote a chapter for "Deploying Rails Applications" that will help you out. It should be included in the beta book any time now. I also presented on this at RailsConf back in May. It's surprisingly easier than you think it is. I actually published several articles on this but with the book pending

Those instructions work great, but if you read the OP, you will see that he needs help with Windows. While helpful, those instructions do not work for Windows deployments because mongrel_cluster doesn't work. starting port 3000 c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel_cluster-1.0.2 /lib/mongrel_clus

+1. Mongrel can install as a service on Windows. There is no clustering support for Mongrel on Windows (though I hear it's coming...) and so you just install mongrel as a service once for each port. You can then use the mod_proxy_balance approach in Apache 2.2. I'll be talking about deployment on

You'll need more than one instance of Mongrel. The articles I wrote are all being redone and will be in the Rails Deployment book, so I can't update those on the web. Install Apache 2.2 with mod_proxy_balance, make that balance your multiple Mongrels on Windows, and point ISAPI_REWRITE to Apache
