Question

I have an option to help setting up a server but at the moment I’m not
sure about the gems to be installed.
I want to ask you about the best gems you suggest.

I know they have FastCGI so multiple versions are supported.

The 2.3 Rails version list with ruby 1.8.7.:

actionmailer 2.3.8
actionpack 2.3.8
activerecord 2.3.8
activeresource 2.3.8
activesupport 2.3.8
cgi_multipart_eof_fix 2.5.0
daemons 1.1.0
fastthread 1.0.7
gem_plugin 0.2.3
mongrel 1.1.5
rack 1.1.0
rails 2.3.8
rake 0.8.7
rubygems-update 1.4.2
sqlite3-ruby 1.3.2

Do you accept it?
What else?
What versions for Rails 3.1 and 1.9.2 Ruby?
What gems for multiple database support, I mean for MySQL or else.

Yours,
Czakó, Előd

Well, usually you would just add gems as you need them, depending on what you’re trying to do.
