[Brug-talk] rails deployment issues with Dreamhost

You should also be aware that Dreamhost will kill any FastCGI processes 
that use more than a certain amount of memory. Any users that were being 
served at that time will get a "Server 500" error. Some people have come 
up with solutions, take a look at this:

And keep if possible the memory footprint of your apps small. Also make 
a seperate user account for every app. The memory usage is counted per user.

Personally I'm a bit disappointed in DH. They should give better Ruby 
support considering they use it as a selling point.


Oh and hello everyone!  This is my first post here, very glad there is a 
Belgium Ruby user group now.
