Forget IIS, and if you can forget Windows. If you can't forget windows check out InstantRails. If you /have/ to deploy on Windows, use Apache. @Ben – Agree with johnB.

If you /have/ to deploy on Windows, use Apache.

The majority of folk will be developing rails on a mac in text mate and deploying on some flavour of nix. Ruby performance is known to suffer on Windows so you probably don't find too many people hosting on Windows. Besides, once on nix that deploying to ubuntu/apache with Phusion Passenger (formerley mod_rails) is just too easy. john. Ben,

I've been Googleing and Googleing and what I can't find are any directions on how to use Ruby to serve up web pages via IIS? I've seen stuff on how to get it to install using Rails things, but I figured I wanted to take a look at it without Rails first, just to get an understanding. Can you point me in the direction of any tutorials on hooking Ruby into IIS? Thanks. Neil,
