While I've been using PHP with Sambar very successfully for many years, I've recently been bombarded with info about Ruby on Rails. Would it be simple enough to run Ruby on the Sambar server?
Any tips much appreciated |

A Rails web application can run under virtually any web server, but the most convenient way to develop a Rails web application is to use the built-in WEBrick web server.
So you can try to run it as CGI under sambar, but that seems not so fast.
Also you can Sambar's Revrse proxy against WEBtrick. |

| Would that mean I would have to set up the WEBrick server for the other domains I host as well? |

As test I installed Ruby on Rails and tried to run the example application under sambar.
No go  because Rails uses some redirection that takes place in a .htaccess file located in the public folder and that kind of redirection is not possible with sambar, because (again) Sambar lacks Apache's mod_rewrite features. So on Apache it was running wright away.
Maybe there is a trick to run it under sambar, when I have time I shall investigate.
