In a previous post I talked about the movies web site I’m building in Ruby on Rails with MySQL as the backend database. A buddy of mine is now helping me build the site, and it is coming along quite nicely. I continue to be amazed at how easy it is to get things done and pump out code and features.
So far our environment looks like:
- Ubuntu 8.04.1
- nginx 0.5.33
- Rails 2.2.2
- Ruby 1.8.6
- MySQL 5.0.51a
We’re using WEBrick in development, but in production we’ll likely switch over to a combination of:
- nginx for static files (css, images, js, etc)
- Apache with modrails for the backend dynamic stuff
- Ruby Enterprise Edition for scalability
I’ll post some updates as we move along and find anything worth mentioning.
