Passenger and RubyEnt updates
Aug 11th
Updated my web server with Ruby Enterprise Edition 1.8.6-20080810 and Phusion Passenger 2.0.3 successfully. Both releases feature bugfixes for security issues and the like. My web server currently powers this blog, a Redmine instance for my own projects, and some “production” servers for a few Rails apps I’m writing right now.
I’d highly recommend Passenger and RubyEnt for low-volume or even high-traffic production Rails servers. It has greatly simplified my deployment and performance on a VPS with, say, 540MB of RAM is stellar. If you set the idle timeout to something huge, you can get almost Nginx+Mongrel/Thin level performance even on a low-traffic server; otherwise you have to wait a brief time (10-15 seconds) when the app has been idle for a while.

I had been having a lot of trouble using libxml-ruby on Ubuntu Hardy for a hobby project of mine. Any task including libxml calls via require 'xml/libxml' fails with the message:
no such file to load -- libxml_so

MySQL ruby gem with MacPorts MySQL
Jun 13th
sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-include=/opt/local/include/mysql5 --with-mysql-lib=/opt/local/lib/mysql5 --with-mysql-config=/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql_config
This worked for me with mysql installed via macports by the command:
sudo port install mysql5 +server
