通常来说，比较一下上面的表格，我们会很自然地选择lighttpd-fcgi这种方案来部署我们的应用。

接下来我们给出Rails应用在Linux服务器上部署的基本过程：

• 所需要的软件包：

• • lighttpd-1.4.10.tar.gz
  • fcgi-2.4.0.tar.gz
  • ruby-1.8.4.tar.gz
  • rubygems-0.8.11.tgz
  • ruby-fcgi-0.8.6.tgz

• 安装Ruby
• 安装rubygems
• 安装ruby-fcgi
• 安装rails，用命令行命令 gem install rails
• 安装lighttpd(创建用户www和组www, 创建目录/var/lighty作为文档根目录, /var/lighty/logs作为日志目录)
• 最关键的步骤：在lighttpd的配置文件(默认是/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf)中配置rails应用支持。这里 给出一个配置文件的完整例子(用Virtual host 方式配置，容易支持一个主机上多个rails应用)：更详细的信息可以参考这里。
