Sir, Thanks a lot for you reply.  
But, I am using Windows 7 and the tutorial that you provided is about  
using RoR with apache on Debian.  
Can you please tell me how to use it on Windows.

The most common method for using RoR with Apache is Passenger (aka mod\_rails) but it is not implemented on Windows.&nbsp; I think you could try fastcgi but I think that is not a desirable option.&nbsp; Could you run Linux as a guest on your Windows system to give you the ability to use a good solution.&nbsp; The majority of RoR users use either Linux or the Mac so that is where the tools are.
