Now, there's no real difference with Mongrel/Webrick if you run

hanging around using up 140megs of memory).
Um, no. It is NOT well documented, or, if it is, those documents
are not easy to find.
I'll certainly agree with that. Getting mongrel working with
mod_proxy was essentially an exercise in Google and reading blogs.
Why is mod_proxy working with mongrel such an exercise?
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / http://localhost:4485
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:4485
ProxyPreserveHost On
That's it as a whole, 7 whole lines. Add that to your apache
configuration in a Virtualhost area for your blog and startup typo and
you should be golden.
It doesn't make it better, or worse or anything. (It scales
horribly also for those of you who are talking about scaling).
Actually, "easy to deploy" DOES earn an app significant points with
pretty much any administrator I know. I consider that "better."
Yes. And, frankly, Ruby + gems on most Linux distros is in such a
state that I end up maintaining my own Ruby install from source.
Given the pain of the recent security holes (for example), I find
that this is actually driving me to think I should can it and go for
the same suite of PHP apps as everyone else.
I will agree with that, as Debian Etch currently has Ruby 1.8.4(2? i
forget) with Rubygems 0.92. However is that Ruby's problem? or the
Linux distribution you chose? If they are willing to give you that
old of Ruby, what makes you think the PHP is any more recent?
... Now I agree they should update that to at least 1.8.6, and
Rubygems 1.2.0, however they have their release cycle and unless it's
a critical security fix you will never get it until the next release.
Ubuntu's way of handling Ruby is quite odd to say the least. I tried
CentOS 5 out of the box, got Warehouseapp running for a customer in a
matter of minutes however. yum worked perfectly for me, and I had 0
issues with it. I've tried Gentoo and it's worked excellent also, so
perhaps some research is in order?
