Ruby on Rails in Plesk ?

[mlnospam]

Hello

Is Ruby on Rails integrated in Plesk for free ? If not is it maybe available as an extension which one has to buy ?

It would be nice to be able to offer PHP/PERL and Ruby in the same time for hosting...

Regards

Yes, Ruby is integraated with Plesk. But in order to use you should buy Plesk Plus package (which includes Plesk Power Pack)

AFAIK you don't need Plesk Plus or an additional license to use Ruby on Rails with Plesk.

I'm confused. Is Ruby on Rails actually part of the default through the interface?

You can install 'Ruby on Rails support' (under Plesk hosting features) using the autoinstaller or install 'Ruby on Rails support' using the Plesk Updater.

What exactly does the "Ruby on Rails support" give you?

Does it just install Ruby, RubyGems and Rails for you or does it also install launch tools (Mongrel/Pound or FCGI), so launching a rails app is simple?

As far as I deduce it's a very basic function given.

1. It doesn't install Ruby Gems.
2. It installs FCGI.
3. It's a nightmare to get working and Parallel's documentation on their web site does not work.

I'd love Mongrel/Pound support.
