Ruby Rack adapter request

[aemadrid]

I can attest that it works because I have a small test app running but it surely isn't as easy to deploy like a normal rails app. You basically have to adapt this http://www.litespeedtech.com/support...iki:ruby_rails to make it work for oyur rack script. These days I'm using thin or Ebb for my non-rails projects so I don't have the time for it but the real solution would be to generate a template similar to the Rails template but to deploy Rack scripts. That would actually make more sense and go a long way to make things easier.

It feels like more of a hack than anything (although it does offer remarkably good performance) so I'd like to be able to serve it via lsapi/rack but after playing around with the configuration used in here and trying numerous other things I've yet to have any success.

Thanks for the reply, I might experiment with it a bit. The solution I have currently is fairing quite well , the only thing that's bothering me is that I can't get litespeed to reliably serve the static assets and cached pages in my merb app, doubtless something I'm doing wrong though.

What you need is static contexts for your static assets (/images, /stylesheets, etc).

Would you mind re-post the instructions step-by-step? It's kind of hard to follow with all the threads going on

What need to be done:
1. Rack Litespeed handler - {rack_path}/lib/rack/handler/litespeed.rb - i tryed to patch the CGI handler with:

def self.run(app, options=nil)
        while LSAPI.accept != nil
          serve app
        end
      end

but for some reason it not worked.

2. {lsws}/fcgi-bin/RackRunner.rb , similar to the RailsRunner.rb one. It will call the Rack::Handler::Litespeed directly or via {project_home}/start.rb

3. EasyRackWithSuEXEC VH Template

Any chance anyone has step-by-step directions for how to do this on the latest revs of LiteSpeed / Rack? I'm having trouble following the instructions documented earlier in this thread and have been unable to find any other examples.

Bump! Any tips on this? Rails 3 is coming soon and this tutorial would be nice to have.

Any pros/cons on using rack vs. the default lsapi?
