[Rails-deploy] Re: Win32 deployment

[Brian Hogan]

Yeah... well lighttpd as the balancer is crappy anyway. It just doesn't
perform well cos there are serious bugs in the proxy system.  Apache +
mod_proxy_balancer is the way to go.

 Hey Brian,

 I must say that I definitely gleaned a lot of knowledge from your site.  I
 ended up going with an Apache front to several mongrel processes.  This
 really is an easy way to deploy.  Luckily our last asp app is on it's way
 out and I think I'll be able to replace IIS with Apache.  I just need to
 figure out how to do ssl client certs with it now.

 I had first tried to use Lighttpd as the balancer with your instructions,
 but I guess they've changed up the syntax of the configuration file.

 I also found some additional information here:

   I have run Apache on W2K, it is really easy to install, and stable.
   Its configuration is the same than linux so it should not be a
   problem. Putting IIS behind is a very good idea.

 As for the reverse proxy, that would only hit 1 mongrel process
   right?
   
Apache (2.2) has a proxy balancer, so you could proxy several
   mongrel
instances.
   
Here is a blog post that I just found from a quick google search.

You'll want to look at these sections.
   
Proxy balancer://mongrel_cluster
   BalancerMemberhttp://127.0.0.1:8000
   BalancerMemberhttp://127.0.0.1:8001
   BalancerMemberhttp://127.0.0.1:8002
/Proxy
   
and where it's using rewrite to talk to the balancer.
   
Putting Apache on port 80 and hiding IIS behind it might be a good
solution for many of your hosting needs in your all-windows
   environment.
   
Good luck!

 My bad :-)
 
 I knew about Planet Argon a long time ago actually, it was one of the
 first Rails hostings (and I heard you were the first brave person
 running Typo on PostgreSQL :-). I was turned down of it because of
 cheaper offers (then went with HostingRails, hehe, sorry but I'm just
 being honest).
 
 Pre-judging by the price, Planet Argon seems to be driving more on
 overall quality and customer happiness (not just satisfaction) rather
 than impressive space/storage/etc. Is this true?

Exactly. Rails hosting shouldn't fall into the same cheap php hosting 
environment. Tons of storage isn't going to solve your Rails deployment 
problems. If you need more disk space, we can always customize a 
package... but actually recommend that you find yourself a cheap host 
(amazon s3 for example) for tons of disk space. If you need it for your 
database... you shouldn't be looking at shared hosting anyways.

  I'd like to know
 what sets Planet Argon apart from [cheaper] services.. I'd love to add
 your service to my list, so you'll help inform our community better.
 :-)
 

I haven't used the other services, but I know that we have many 
customers that have. Almost all of our employees are developing Rails 
applications on a daily basis... so we think like developers. Most of 
our customers... are developers. They want more control over their 
deployment solution, so we give it to them... because it's what we want. 
as well. ;-)

* http://docs.planetargon.com/Getting_Started

We're also huge PostgreSQL fans (I've been working with PostgreSQL for 
several years before Rails was even around...) and we let you run your 
own private instance of it. I don't think most of the other rails 
environments give you that flexibility (currently).

But, like I said. I haven't used any other rails hosting company because 
we started offering hosting for Rails just over two years ago now... and 
I'm happy with my current provider. ;-)
