The ability to configure and deploy a Rails site now has its own configuration page in the administration GUI. <br/><br/> <img src="http://i.nfectio.us/images/litespeed.png"> <br/><br/> Once you define the defaults for RoR applications on your webserver, you can setup and deploy a site in just a few clicks. Prior to the 2.2 release you had several options for getting LiteSpeed to redirect requests to dispatch.lsapi, you could use rewrites or 404 redirects. Now in 2.2 you can just use the new Rails context feature. LiteSpeed will handle the connections to dispatch.lsapi. <br /><br /> <img src="http://i.nfectio.us/images/litespeedcontext.png"> <br /><br /> Speed plus agility, what a great combination. Check out their <a href="http://www.litespeedtech.com/support/wiki/doku.php">Wiki</a> for some <a href="http://www.litespeedtech.com/support/wiki/doku.php?id=litespeed_wiki:ruby_rails_easy">quick start instructions</a> on getting up and running with Ruby on Rails on their platform. I'm interested in seeing what performance benefits I will receive with their Enterprise Version running Rails on the new SMP server, hope they offer educational discounts. <br /><br /> Wed, 30 Aug 2006 14:22:00 -0700 urn:uuid:16afcdc5-ccaa-4a51-9477-314c34e98b6d Bob Silva http://i.nfectio.us/articles/2006/08/30/litespeed-2-2-eases-rails-configuration Ruby on Rails rails litespeed
