Hi, I downloaded Ruby(Version:1.8.2-15) from [How No-Code Tools Can Automate Your Small Business? | AppMaster](http://apacheguide.org/ruby.php) and followed the instruction given there. Everything went fine till creating the Rails application. But when I ran the command ruby “C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\myfirstapp\script\server” ,I get an error. Iam unable to start WEBrick HTTP server. But on the other hand when I click start-\>programs-\>ruby-\>ruby182-15-\>ruby gems-\>startrubygemsrdocserver Iam able to start the WEBrick HTTP server. I could see the port number as 8808. so I just went to the browser and type [http://localhost:8808](http://localhost:8808) I don’t get “congrulations,you’ve put ruby on rails” rather I get “RubyGems Documentation Index”. Iam using apache 1.3.29 version. Added the below set of lines to hhtp.conf 1)I added LoadModule fastcgi\_module modules/mod\_fastcgi.dll 2)I added AddModule mod\_fastcgi.c 3)\ ServerName rails DocumentRoot “E:\Projects\myfirstapp\public” \ Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks AllowOverride all Allow from all Order allow,deny AddHandler cgi-script .cgi AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi Afer doing this and when I type [http://localhost/](http://localhost/) I get “Welcome aboard You’re riding the Rails! Getting started Here’s how to get rolling:” Iam not sure how to proceed next. Can anyone suggest me if iam in the right direction and where I gone wrong. Thanks Janakiraman
