Hi Antony,

if you want to go with Apache2, there are a few ways to get Ruby on  
Rails going. Apache2 + fastcgi, Apache2 + fcgid or Apache2 + Mongrel.  
The last option is the most popular at the moment. I have a couple of  
links up at

that point to some good tutorials that should get you up and running  
very quick. And the setup for kubuntu should be very similar to any  
other Linux distribution.

Kind regards,

Nick S.

I’ve got a tutorial on installing Rails on ubuntu dapper server here:  
[http://blog.wilf.me.uk/articles/2006/11/20/the-ultimate-server-ruby-on-rails-with-lighttpd-apache2-with-php-mysql-postgresql-on-ubuntu-dapper-server](http://blog.wilf.me.uk/articles/2006/11/20/the-ultimate-server-ruby-on-rails-with-lighttpd-apache2-with-php-mysql-postgresql-on-ubuntu-dapper-server)  
This will work on kubuntu as well. My tutorial shows how to use  
lighttpd for rails while keeping apache2 around for other sites - this  
solution may or may not fit your needs but you should find most of the  
article relevant.
