Sir, Thanks a lot for you reply. But, I am using Windows 7 and the tutorial that you provided is about using RoR with apache on Debian. Can you please tell me how to use it on Windows. ---

I think you could try fastcgi but I think that is not a desirable option. Could you run Linux as a guest on your Windows system to give you the ability to use a good solution. The majority of RoR users use either Linux or the Mac so that is where the tools are. Norm
