Which is the most reliable web server to work with RoR in production or development? [closed]

Question

Mongrel, Thin, Webrick, Passenger... Which one is the most effective solution to put a RoR application in a production environment? Which one is the most flexible, and easier to install and setup under Windows for development environment?

Answer 1

The easiest to set up for production will probably be Apache and mod_rails (passenger). If you want to be using the new hotness, you could give nginx and passenger a whirl.

For development mongrel is usually the easiest to work with. Most Windows IDE's (RadRails, Netbeans) give you the choice to use Webrick or Mongrel for development work and let you control the servers from the IDE itself.
