What is Mongrel? - -Mongrel is a fast HTTP library and server for Ruby that is intended for hosting -Ruby web applications of any kind using plain HTTP rather than FastCGI or SCGI. -It is framework agnostic and already supports "Ruby On -Rails":http://www.rubyonrails.org, "Og+Nitro":http://www.nitroproject.org/, -"Camping":http://camping.rubyforge.org/files/README.html, and -"IOWA":http://enigo.com/projects/iowa/tutorial/what_is_it.html frameworks. - -h2. Getting Started - -The easiest way to get started with Mongrel is to install it via RubyGems -and then run a Ruby on Rails application. You can do this easily: - - $ sudo gem install mongrel - $ cd myrailsapp - $ mongrel_rails start -d - -Which runs Mongrel in the background. You can stop it with: - - $ mongrel_rails stop - -And you're all set. There's quite a few options you can set for the -start command. Use the *mongrel_rails start -h* to see them all. - -h2. Win32 Support - -Win32 is fully supported by Mongrel with services and CPU -affinity support. You should read the "Win32 HOWTO":docs/win32.html -for information on getting started. - -The main thing with Win32 support is that there is no *fork* -API for Ruby, so you have to use the services features to -get persistent servers running. You can get this services -support by doing: - - > gem install mongrel_service - -And then just run @mongrel_rails@ to see what @services::@ commands -are available. - - -h1. Next Steps - -Now that you're a Mongrel user, there's some thing you should -do to educate yourself: - -* "Join the mailing list":http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users -* "Read the documentation":docs/index.html -* Learn to use --help when you want to know what Mongrel commands can do. - -The last one is important. A lot of effort went into making -Mongrel as self-documenting as possible. Before you hit the -mailing list asking how to do something, try passing that -command --help and see if it tells you. If it's still not -clear then ask away. - |
