In the last post I showed you a configuration for serving Ruby on Rails applications with Mongrel cluster and Apache in a *nix environment (Ubuntu).
With this post I will reproduce the same configuration in a Windows environment.
The main difference in Windows is that you cannot use the mongrel_rails command with the cluster option (provided by the mongrel_cluster gem) that relies on daemonize functionality, only available on *nix platforms.
What you will need to do is to manually create n mongrel services for the n clusters you will need. Let’s see how to do that.
