So I just wrote a long post describing my path to getting Ruby on Rails running on windows. Then within 5 minutes of writing the post I found an update in one of those links describing a new webserver designed specifically for rails. It’s called Mongrel, it takes one gem call to install, and then one command line to run, and right now, it seems to be running like a champ. I’d really like to learn more about it. From what I’ve read so far they seem to call it a production environment. If it’s really up to speed then it’s going to be huge for the rails windows devs.(all 10 of us)
UPDATE: Yes, it looks like this may be what I was looking for after all with some great comments on my previous post by David Sissitka.

Jeff, thank you so much.
I have been trying to jump into Ruby on Rails for the best part of a couple of years now. The one thing that has been stopping me is the fact that it I could not get a production speed (ie. FCGI+Apache) server running in a stable configuration.
I decided to do a quick late night search that lead to this post (I had heard some mutterings about Mongrel) and hopefully a solution!! Finally!
I will make time this week to try out an installation and a quick and dirty application.
Hopefully this will be it! I’ll let you know how I get on
p.s. make me number 11

Mark,
I’m so glad that this has helped you. I’ve been using Mongrel for about a month now and I’ve been 100% happy. It’s fast, reliable and easy to setup. I’m not doing anything overly complicated in terms of a server environment, but for what I need it completely rocks.
