[xxcavemanxx]

Anyone know of a VPS that offers ruby on rails and fastcgi installed or as an option? Or does anyone have a VPS with these installed and can vouch that they work/possibly help if I run into kinks? I've tried installing on two of my VPSs and cannot seem to get it to work. WEBrick works fine, but I want to use it on a production Apache server.

We spent several days setting up ROR for a new customer and now have it running with FastCGI.  The two support engineers who spent the time working through it are writing up step by step documentation and should have it complete within a couple of days.

If I remember correctly the implementation we configured works with cpanel.

Hey Thomas, did your engineers find that FastCGI was *required* to get ROR working?

We have successfully installed FastCGI on a Virtuozzo VPS of one of our clients before as well.

No, but it is available in our customer forums which are open to all.

Hey jmesam, per WHT forum rules you cannot link to your own site.

I'm starting to look at ruby on rails as well as nitro (which runs on ruby).
Considering managed/semimanaged VPSs with experience with supporting ruby...
with DirectAdmin and 128+ mb, 8-10 gig, 50 gig+ transfer. Wanting to stay below $30 mth if possible.....
