Can anyone please recommend a good tutorial on how to deploy a rails app on apache?

My system info is:

linux (non-debian) ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i686-linux] gem -v 1.2.0 rails -v Rails 2.0.2 apachectl -v Server version: Apache/2.0.59

Thank you for any help!

This is a SHORT thing, showing my configuration.

You could use the passenger gem. It's fairly popular right now and
works exceptionally well. Very easy to set up too.

---- and because Apache 2.0.x does not do the proxy type necessary for mongrel, passenger would be the better option.

Thank you. Let me give it a shot.

I followed through on the gem passenger installation and now when I type the full website address I get the Apache2 Test Page.

It's a positive step forward at least.

Or you could use nginx... i installe dit on top of a cluster of mongrels in 10 minutes. and Oh my god its fast!
