deploying ruby on rails applications on solaris 10

Question

Is there anyone out there that is currently deploying rails applications on a solaris 10 box? If so can you give me a brief run down of what you had to do to get it up and going?

I am a web developer and I am working in a closed environment where they are using sun solaris servers, all of which are for internal use only behind firewall. I am by no means a solaris admin type and the solaris admin type here have no knowledge, nor the care to learn, of ruby/rails.

I have had no issue getting ruby on rails development environments up and running in OS/X, Linux(OpenSuse, Ubuntu, Fedora), and Windows.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It looks like Phusion's Passenger module for Apache 2 supports Solaris.

There's a tutorial written by Johannes Fahrenkrug from March 2009 which covers deploying Ruby on Rails to Solaris 10 with Passenger and Ruby Enterprise Edition.

There's also this article which discusses deploying to Open Solaris. Whilst Open Solaris and Solaris are not the same beast, it might have some pointers you need.
