Web Hosting Solutions Provider Virtualmin Boosts Ruby on Rails Support

Virtualmin, a systems management startup developing Open Source and commercial administration products for the Web hosting industry, announced they’ve improved support for Ruby on Rails

Sept. 17, 2007 – (TopHosts News Brief) - Virtualmin, Inc. released version 3.46 of Virtualmin Professional and Virtualmin GPL, a next generation Web server control panel. The new release addresses the needs of Web 2.0 developers and the Web hosting providers who serve them.

The new version improves support for Ruby on Rails – the first product of its kind.

Virtualmin Professional Ruby on Rails support includes: a comprehensive UI for installing and managing Ruby Gems; several easily installable Ruby on Rails applications; an instant Ruby on Rails skeleton creation tool; safe deployment of Ruby on Rails applications.
