So I have been trying to follow the instructions on  
[Wayback Machine](http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/329) to get rails to be  
running properly on my Debian machine, but I have been running into  
several issues. The first one just being the version of RubyGems in the  
Debian repos doesn’t seem to work while it does if I just install from  
the tarball downloaded right from the RubyGems site. However, now I  
have a different issue.

I am just trying to get WEBrick running so I can test this demo app and  
I get errors spewed at me. I’ll paste the errors below. I am just  
wondering if it is possible that WEBrick and Apache are fighting for  
port use and how I should change my configuration to make everything  
work correctly, even if it means abandoning WEBrick and using only  
Apache.

PS: I am also using Apache2 so even though I said I was following the  
guide I posted the link to, I used all package names with apache2  
instead of apache.
