PHP5 (as fastcgi w/ lighttpd and sqlite3)

What is your experience with FastCGI??? I am running ROR off it, but lighttpd throws quite a lot of 500 Internal Server Errors.

Hmm, I haven't used my current setup in production yet. Development has been fine, only time will tell. Hopefully I don't get the errors you experienced :(

FastCGI is super lightweight and very powerful. If you're seeing errors like that you likely have a problem that requires fixing. Judging from your post it might involve excessive question marks in a regex.

I am running some basic stuff ... but notice the occasional 500's ... IRC / Web states that Pound with Lighttpd and Instances of Mongrel is really the best solution ... however, mongrel's site states that Lighttpd's mod_proxy still has issues....so I am really baffled with what is a proven solution... I am just gonna run some tests before I conclude...

Ruby and Java

Are u considering JRuby ??

I might be. but for the mean time I'm exploring Rails :-) and gettng my Ruby skills up to match. Although I can't seem to shake Java's verbosity out my system and it reflects on my Ruby programs. :-)
