Rail under Apache on Windows

Rails
1

I am trying to configure Apache 2 under XP to run my rails app using
CGI. I have modified my httpd.conf as follows but it seems apache
doesn’t know I am invoking a Rails app and it gives me errors that it
cannot find the resource.

Is there anything else I need to do to get rails integrated into Apache
using CGI?

Thanks,

-John

I’m assuming that your rails app is in C:\Development\test. The
DocumentRoot for your virtual host should be C:\Development\test\public
(where the dispatcher cgi programs and the .htaccess with all the
necessary rewrite rules lives). Your directive should also
point down one more level to public, as opposed to the root of the rails
app (<Directory C:/Development/test/public>).
