The WIKI has an example of someone integrating RoR into PHPBB. It may  
provide some useful information.

We have setup rails web host to run as the default, however if a PHP  
file extension is found or the index of a folder under /public contains  
an index.php file then the server will run PHP instead of ruby.

Can you supply details on how you configured your server to do this?

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,
