Through all the way I try to configure apache for ruby on windows. I  
made changes in httpd.conf for fastcgi as :

LoadModule fastcgi\_module modules/mod\_fastcgi.so

LoadModule ruby\_module modules/mod\_ruby.so

FastCgiServer e:/web/cookbook/public/dispatch.fcgi -initial-env

RAILS\_ENV=production -processes 3 -idle-timeout 60

So after doing this when I check the httpd.conf it give error as connot  
load mod\_fastcgi.so and mod\_ruby.so

So can any body give the solution for that

Are the files mod\_fastcgi.so and mod\_ruby.so in your apache /modules  
folder? It looks like it isn’t finding them.
