Why does InstantRails include Apache?  One uses Mongrel
through the 
Manage Applications menu or WEBrick if you run Ruby
script/server, so 
what does Apache do for InstantRails?
Thanks,
Bill

Three things come to mind:

1) When you're almost ready to deploy into production, you can test you application in an environment that more closely approximates the production environment.

2) You can use IR as a lightweight production server. In this case Apache is necessary if you are serving multiple Rails apps, each with its own domain (
i.e., you need virtual hosting, which mongrel doesn't provide).

3) Apache is needed to run the included MyPhpAdmin for administering your MySQL database.

Well, really, it doesn't do much of anything for a single
app, but  
it's there as a placeholder to show that rails works with
apache;  
Apache can host several sites (virtual hosting), whereas
mongrel  
can't...

It's also a placeholder until we get apache 1.3 replaced
with apache  
2.2, which can do the the load balancing to multiple
mongrel.

If you use IR for development and for a single app,  just
use mongrel.

Now that SQL yog is open source and free I for one don't see
the need
for phpmysql.   I suppose it's useful in those circumstances
where you
only have the MSQL listening on a local socket but in most
dev
environments that's not the case.

Having said that if one was to be truly minimalist one would
use
sqlite for development and mysql (or whatever) for
production and
testing and use migrations for all the schema changes so it
would all
work autmagically thanks to activerecord. In a perfect world
of
course.

Just my $.02

We are planning to have IR be multiplatform; SQLyog is only
for windows.

IR Developers,

Have you looked at the Mysql tools ( 
http://www.mysql
.com/products/tools/ ).  They are cross platform and are

available with same licensing as Mysql itself (and are
generally more 
powerful than MyPhpAdmin  IMO)...

rgds,
Dave L.

I have personally used them, and find it almost unbearably buggy on Linux.&nbsp; It's useful in a pinch, but I've found myself diving into the mysql command line to avoid using that tool.

If you are going to include a mysql tool then I would think
phpmysql
would be one that has the smallest footprint and still be
cross
platform.

Is there something like phpmysql written in rails? That
would be ideal
I would think.
