Best Reaper Approach ??

[Arco]

i have a question re: using the reaper script

i'm deploying a new app for the 1st time, using the newest version of
rails and capistrano

should i use the 'old style' reaper (I saw a plugin for this)

or is there a better replacement for the old style reaper ??

Honesty deploy on Passenger or something else now, Mongrel is out! (We're actually removing support in the new year, it'll be available as a plugin after that)

If you are goig to use the reapers (I have no experience) - but I suspect you need that plugin (otherwise, the scripts don't exist)

OK I'll give passenger a try.

From the passenger docco, i see that you can run passenger with either
apache or nginx.

Which one is better ??

[Lee Hambley]

That depends on about a million factors. Apache is easier (read: better documented) - don't optimise by experimenting with nginx until you see what your performance problems are.
