Okay…here’s what I’ve got:

Linux Server running:  
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3  
Apache 1.3.33

It’s a dedicated server that I have root access to.

I want to install RoR and access the things I program directly from a  
URL (ie [http://www.example.com/something/another](http://www.example.com/something/another)) without having to  
attach the port (like :3000) to it. I’ve been told I need to install it  
for Apache but can’t really figure out what all needs to be done to do  
that.

Any direction would be great.

Just start the server like that:

./script/server --port=80 -d

Well some guys I talked to over on IRC strongly suggested not using  
./script/server for production…
