Hi,

loading pages from another PC is really slow because of WEBrick (the built-in development web server). There are two ways out of it: Set-up a real production system, or replace WEBbrick and continue with the development set-up.

1. A real production set-up can be done with the passenger gem . Passenger/Apache replace WEBrick and are way faster. Don’t forget to also set-up backups and monitoring.
2. The easy and fast way is to leave your set-up as is and just replace WEBbrick. “Thin” is a good replacement - to integrate it, do the following:

• edit (or create) the Gemfile.local file. Insert the line

gem ‘thin’

• do bundle install to install thin and its dependencies

• start your server with bundle exec thin -e production start (which uses some production settings, omit the -e production if you actually want to develop OpenProject)

The startup of the server should now look like this:

bundle exec thin -e production start

Thanks.
