Hi All
I am having difficulties setting up the lighttpd.conf file for running Ruby on Rails on my windows 2003 server. I have actually managed to get it up and running by trial and error, but it is very slow.
Not fully understanding the lighttpd.conf file I suspect that maybe it is not running fastcgi, but only cgi since I have heard that this would be slow. Maybe it it is not necessary to include the mod_cgi at all ?
My lighttpd.con file i pasted below. Any ideas are most welcome.
lighttpd.conf

# lighttpd configuration file

# use a it as base for lighttpd 1.0.0 and above
