Ive read about so many apps coming into play...

can anyone out there write a small server which is like apache for the iphone running rails and much more...

that might be good as i knw there might be some app on its way which looks like text mate...

webdev on the move... just an idea... lookin forward to its implementation...

lighttpd is already compiled its on installer.app

Lighty doesn't do much really, without fastcgi. It's just a web server. Unless I missed some compiled options somewhere?

There is no rails on the iPhone, nor is there any way to get it on there far as I can see. The rubythat is available is very limited. No gem support so no webrick or a million other things you'd need. Heck, even irb doesn't work. I've been messing around with it a bit, but don't really have any free time to port it over (baby expected in october).

I agree it would be insanely cool, but nothing doing yet. Maybe when apple releasesa blessed dev environment.

on the plus side, since it seems you're a mac guy- I guess leopard will have rails installed by default. Looking forward to that, although I wonder what it'll do to my existing sites. I doubt they'll include it in an iPhone update though, nice as that would be. It'd be killer to do widgets running locally with a rails back-end.

widgets running locally with a rails backend... now i knw what they by the true potential of Web 2.0 apps... i mean, this would be great, no need for an actual sdk or anything. just a plain and simple ruby or rails app... nice...
