Question

I’m currently trying to get Thin webserver running on Windows, to form a basic cluster behind a NGINX proxy, but this is proving to be rather difficult.
I was wondering if anyone actually succeeded in getting this up and running?

To give some examples of the things I have tried:

C:\Users\arne.de.herdt.TENFORCE2\RubymineProjects\ESCO>thin start
C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:926:in `report_activate_error': Rub
yGem version error: thin(1.2.11 not >= 0) (Gem::LoadError)
        from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:244:in `activate_dep'
        from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:236:in `activate'
        from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:1307:in `gem'
        from C:/Ruby/bin/thin:18:in `<main>'

I really don’t get this error message. I’ve included below the environmental output of my system that I’m trying this on (my development system)

RubyGems Environment:
  - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.7.2
  - RUBY VERSION: 1.9.2 (2011-02-18 patchlevel 180) [i386-mingw32]

Hoping someone has been experimenting with this.
Also I must say that it’s starting to annoy me that the lack for Windows support is such a serious issue with Ruby on Rails. I really enjoy the language and programming in it, but it’s a pain getting things to work on Windows machines because of uncompilable dependencies…

Answer 1

Thin ain’t supported under Windows…..
