I’ve spent maybe 4-6 hours trying to get Ruby on Rails running on Apache, using mod_fcgid under Ubuntu Dapper Drake and I was about ready to kill someone. I’d edited apache.conf, the site confiuration, mod files, .htaccess files ruby files, pretty much everthing in /var/www and /etc/apache2. The problem? I owned the files in the Rails application instead of the www user. Bah!!!
