<p>I've been running my Ruby on Rails apps using <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/">Apache</a> and a load balancer to <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html">proxy</a> to <a href="http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/">Mongrel</a>. It all works very well, but when I heard about <a href="http://www.modrails.com/index.html">Passenger</a> (formerly mod_rails) I was very interested. I love it when things get simpler and having Apache run Rails directly seemed like a great idea. Passenger runs the Rails app with appropriate permissions in its own sandbox.</p> <p>My next step is to setup SSL and see how well that works together. It always annoyed me having to setup Apache and Mongrel on my development machine in order to test SSL - I'm hoping this is going to get easier now.</p> 2008-05-08T10:54:02+00:00 Phusion's Passenger module for Apache makes deploying Ruby on Rails a little easier. 10 /home/logical/rails/shared/images/post/image/10/logo-trans.png 2008-05-08 2008-05-08T10:57:08+00:00 1
