Phusion mod_rails and Railsplayground Update: It’s Back On
After writing my last post about Phusion’s mod_rails and Railsplayground I felt I should to provide an update. According to the Railsplaground forum (specifically this thread) users can once again opt for mod_rails as one of their Rails-serving options (as of May 24th 2008). It sounds like the Phusion team did a good job of addressing whatever stability issues Railsplayground was experiencing.
I’m not sure if I’m going to request mod_rails on my applications because everything is running smoothly now and I’m afraid to monkey with it. Still, memory is such a premium on these shared servers that I may want to eventually try it out, especially if I hear that the memory requirements are less than a mongrel setup.
