Zed Shaw’s PDF Book on Deploying,Serving and Extending Ruby apps with Mongrel
I’ve just found out Zed Shaw (Creator of Mongrel) has released a PDF book about setting up/deploying Ruby applications with Mongrel.
Check it out: http://www.awprofessional.com/bookstore/
In case you haven’t used or heard of Mongrel before, I’ll have to say its the best Ruby server out there and I definitely recommend you try it out if you’re deploying Ruby or Ruby on Rails web apps.
The thing is just FAST and from what I’ve seen much more stable and secure than FastCGI. We’re using it for SugarStats (along with Nginx as the webserver/Rails request proxy) and the combination with Nginx is pretty much unbeatable.

Hi,
I also use mongrel+nginx in the same way you do.
I have a problem now that cracks my mind – HTC files.
Mongrel shows the menu on mouse over on INTERNET EXPLORER @
http://maoz.octava.co.il:3000/x/test.html
While when going through Nginx to the Mongrel @
http://maoz.octava.co.il/x/test.html
it doesn’t
both mongrel & ngnix are configured to support ”.htc”s
nginx even comes HTC ready from the beginning.
any idea?
Hey Dor,
Hrm, it sounds like your Nginx config file isn’t setup properly. From the looks of it, the reason it works fine on port 3000 is because its being served directly to Mongrel and not proxying thorugh Nginx at all.
Though I don’t have much experience with H T C files, that would be my first guess. Good luck.
