Hi Luis, Thanks verymuch for the lead. I got them installed and things are going on well. But I am still in a fix. I am thinking of using THIN server for my production mode. But I think it would be good if I have a cluster of servers running so that it will be easy to reproduce a linux env. But the bad thing is that I am using a WINDOWS machine, (in this case) so no demonization, no clusters or any useful things which we can do in the wonderful linux. So please can you suggest a way of acheiving this in the WINDOWS machine. Or is it possible to use the Apache + multiple (Thin / Mongrel) servers combination in the WINDOWS machine. Regards, Sandy.
