Deploying a rails application in Apache using mongral

Running mongral through apache

Install mongral service

Windows has a slight difference since it seems that the win32-service doesn’t get picked up for some people as a dependency. You’ll need to do this instead:

$ gem install win32-service (pick the most recent one)
$ gem install mongrel (pick the win32 pre-built)
$ gem install mongrel_service

Install service for our application

mongrel_rails service::install -N <Servicenme> -c <pah/to/rail/project> -p <port> -e development
