Question

Can I deploy a Ruby on Rails webapp to an IIS webserver?

Is there any solid support for this somehow?

Answer 1

Have a look at Fast CGI for Ror. You can also find instructions here.

Answer 2

Microsoft's Ruby Implementation for the .NET Framework, IronRuby contains the IronRuby.Rack adapter, which lets you run any Rack-based web application, including Ruby on Rails apps, but also Sinatra, Merb, Camping and others on IIS.

Unfortunately, there's no pre-compiled binary yet, but here's a nice screencast that walks you through compiling the Rack adapter and deploying a simple app on IIS.
