    <p>I've been searching for a way to reliably deploy a Rails 3 application on Windows. I'm quite shocked that it seems like there isn't currently any way to do this. The Apache + few Mongrel services solution don't work currently because Mongrel cannot run in daemon mode therefore I can't install it as a mongrel_service.</p> <p>The requirements I guess should be:</p> <ul> <li>A web server compatible with Rails 3.</li> <li>Must be able to run as a Windows service, daemonized.</li> <li>Must be able to restart automatically in case something goes wrong.</li> <li>Must be production quality: no memory leaks, etc.</li> <li>Should be able to scale, and accept multiple requests concurrently.</li> <li>Less hacks possible.</li> </ul> <p>I found out these things:</p> <ul> <li>Mongrel is not production ready for Rails 3 (1.2.0pre), I experience memory leaks quite fast from a console window. The app just exits.</li> <li>Mongrel doesn't run in daemon mode (<code>-d</code>) with Rails 3.</li> <li>Therefore Mongrel cannot be installed as a service.</li> <li>Phusion Passenger is not available on Windows (would be the best solution).</li> </ul> <p>These are the possible solutions I came up with:</p> <ul> <li>Get a Linux box, install Apache + Phusion Passenger and roll.</li> <li><a href="http://www.dixis.com/?p=140" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Using thin</a>, however, the author says the thin process is not 'guarded'.</li> <li><a href="http://www.beechtreetech.com/ruby-on-rails-thin-and-nginx-on-windows" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Using Ngnix</a>, however, the author says he just ran a default app, not a full run app.</li> <li><a href="http://misterdai.wordpress.com/2009/10/16/nginx-windows-service/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Using Ngnix</a>. I think this solution suffers the same problem as above.</li> <li>Using a virtualization of Linux, but I must solve problems like auto-start, etc.</li> <li>Run on JRuby within Tomcat.</li> </ul> <p>This might be a handy tool: <a href="http://projectkenai.com/projects/winsw" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://projectkenai.com/projects/winsw</a></p> <p>I hope we can find a real solution to this issue.</p> <hr> <p>Update:</p> <p>I agree that JRuby + a j2ee container is the best bet. Some problems must be resolved like gems with extensions, etc. There are lots of valuable ideas here: <a href="http://rails-nutshell.labs.oreilly.com/ch14.html#production_r259035_id35801805" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://rails-nutshell.labs.oreilly.com/ch14.html#production_r259035_id35801805</a></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
