Mongrel_rails

To use mongrel_rails in production, you need to create a service to run in your Windows Server.

Navigate to the directory where rails app are located.

Replace (service name) including bracket with your service name .

Here is the command:

Install service:

mongrel_rails service::install -N (service name) -e (environment. e.g. production) -p (port to be used)

Remove the service:

mongrel_rails service::remove -N (service name)

That's all. Then you can configure lightttpd to point to the mongrel web app.

To start the service from command line:

net start (service name)
