I am working for university and there are nearly a hundred of sub-
websites under my host.
Running ruby server instances and maintaining config files of that
amount may not be feasible for me.

Actually, we are currently using ColdFusion which has a admin console
to handle the application server settings.
I want to keep the practice as similar as possible.

Oh, yeah! Phusion Passenger is useful. I've heard of it.

But (very) unfortunately, our server config is Windows-base, using IIS
as web server, and database is MS-SQL...
It seems to be quite a tough job to introduce RoR to my workplace
under this environment.
I have to make it!

Cheers,
