I keep on searching for this topic, so I guess it’s time I put it on my blog.

First of all, let’s get one thing straight. This is not a guide for those who are trying their best to not use Unix like environment in develop Rails application. This is more like a guide to do almost everything in Linux without replacing your Windows.

I was trying to deploy a Rails application using Apache and got into some problems when I tried to configure the app so that Apache will be the one that serves the precompiled assets (javascripts, css, images and others). Since I’m on tight deadline (yeah, I should’ve tested production mode much more earlier), I tried my luck with Nginx and it worked easily without any hassle. So, this is how I did it.

This guide will help you (mostly will help me in the future) to configure your Ruby on Rails to support connection to Sybase.
