Thin server on Windows?

Added by Ivan Cenov about 13 years ago

Hello,

It seems that Thin server is a successor of Mongrel server.

From the site of Thin:

Thin is a Ruby web server that glues together 3 of the best Ruby libraries in web history:
    the Mongrel parser, the root of Mongrel speed and security
    Event Machine, a network I/O library with extremely high scalability, performance and stability
    Rack, a minimal interface between webservers and Ruby frameworks

So i have questions:
Has Mongrel development stopped?
Does Thin server work in Windows environment?

It seems the development of mongrel had been merged into Thin.

And the usage here of mongrel failed on my windows server 2008 r2.

I am trying using thin to register redmine as a service now.

I want to repeat my configuration:
Apache (load balancer) -> three mongrel services at ports 3001, 3002, 3003 -> Redmine 1.4.x
This way Apache listens at port 80 and this is convenient to the users.

Is it possible to do this with Thin and Redmine 2.x.x ? And how?

I don't see why it wouldn't be, Thin allows built-in clustering... why not spin up a VM and try it out?

Actually it seems Bitnami runs Thin now too, so it should work.

Maybe pull Bitnami and check their configs and scripts if you want to roll your own setup.
