Deploying from Windows: ruby 1.8 vs 1.9

Rails Deployment
1

i once deployed one of my first rails apps from a Windows machine to a
linux and found because of binary differences, there were obscure errors
all over the place. I then switched to a mac.

i’ve typed so much on macbooks that there is some electro magnitism that
my nerves in my fingers can’t stand. i am typing on an old thinkpad
right now, and i’m actually pain free.

i’ve installed 1.9 rails 3.1 on windows again.

Has anyone deployed a rails app with ruby 1.9.2 from windows to linux
and had smooth sailings?

I develop with Ruby 1.9.3 with Rails 3.2 on windows and then deploy to
linux. I use the thin server on development, and some other windows only
gems, but have had no real problems.

What is the exact issue you’re having? There is no getting around the
fact that you will need some specific windows versions of gems for your
development machine. But once you get that squared away you should have
no issues.
