It works. Phusion mod_passenger (http://www.modrails.com/) works in the very same way. Just copy your files, load web browser and bam. It works. Need to reload application? No problem. Create empty restart.txt file in the tmp folder. Apache will reload the application. No need to restart Apache. No SSH needed. Simple FTP access is all you need. mod_passenger works also with others Ruby frameworks which use Rack,e.g. Merb. It even works also with Python... :) You also forget mention Ruby Enterprise version which uses 33% less memory... It works fine with mod_passenger and lowers the memory footprint. http://www.rubyenterpriseedition.com/ mod_passenger is _the easiest option_ for deployment Rails applications (including Typo). But, there is also another, 4-th deploy option: JRuby. It is also brain dead simple to deploy. Just create WAR file and copy it into webapps Tomcat's folder. That's all! sudo jruby -S gem install warbler, activerecord-jdbc-adapter jruby -S rails my_app For developing use: jruby script/server; jruby script/console etc. For production, just create ROOT.war file (with "warble war" command) and copy it into webapps folder in Tomcat, Jetty or another Java servlets container. This WAR file contains ALL gems (including JRuby interpreter) so it works fine in all platforms. -- Jaroslaw Zabiello http://blog.zabiello.com _______________________________________________ Typo-list mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/typo-list
