Rob Smirtin sent in (our first!) tip with another detailed Rails installation guide. This one, written by the same person who wrote the Ubuntu guide, is for installing Ruby on Rails on a Redhat Enterprise Linux box.
Here’s a quick guide (written on scratch paper, but now published in this blog, so packages may be newer now) how I got Ruby on Rails and FastCGI for Apache2 running in Redhat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 2) on a production Dell PowerEdge server.
He also posted his Apache2 benchmarks at the end of the post, so we can see what kind of performance he's getting with this setup.
