Apache HOW-TO?

Can anyone please recommend a good tutorial on how to deploy a rails app
on apache?

My system info is:

linux (non-debian)
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i686-linux]
gem -v 1.2.0
rails -v Rails 2.0.2
apachectl -v Server version: Apache/2.0.59

Thank you for any help!

You could use the passenger gem. It’s fairly popular right now and
works exceptionally well. Very easy to set up too.

and because Apache 2.0.x does not do the proxy type necessary for
mongrel, passenger would be the better option.

Thank you. Let me give it a shot.

I followed through on the gem passenger installation and now when I type
the full website address I get the Apache2 Test Page.

It’s a positive step forward at least.
