Ruby/ROR with Apache 2.x ?

I’ve been drinking a bit of the RUBY coolaide lately… and want to try out ROR on my server I have setup that is already running Apache 2.x/PHP5/Mysql5 .

Can anyone point me to a good HOWTO set this up? I know a bunch of people use ROR with different web servers… I just don’t hear a lot about people using with Apache.

From what I understand, people using Rails and Apache are using something called “Passenger”, which is basically mod_rails for Apache.

See:

I think that more Rails sites are fronted by nginx than Apache. An example nginx.conf is here:

Zamt, maybe also take a look at these links. They’re probably more along the lines of what you’re looking for:
