Subject: Help configuring apache2 + mod_ruby :) from a newbie

Just getting started with apache, ruby, mod_ruby, and trying to do it
all at once.

I can't seem to get any of my .rbx files to be recognized, they keep
getting spit back at me as plain text.  I assume there is some
configuration detail that I am missing, but I have not a clue.  It
doesn't complain about loading the module, so I assume it's working
right

If anyone can help me it'd be much appreciated.  Everything I can
really find referst to apache 1.3, or don't seem to work for me.

The basic info :

Server version: Apache/2.0.53
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i686-linux]

// in /etc/conf.d/apache2 ------------------
APACHE2_OPTS="-D SSL -D RUBY"

// modules.d/20_mod_ruby.conf -------
<IfDefine RUBY>
  <IfModule !mod_ruby.c>
    LoadModule ruby_module    modules/mod_ruby.so
  </IfModule>
</IfDefine>
# taken from the example file
# If the ruby module is installed, this will be enabled.
<IfModule mod_ruby.c>
  # for Apache::RubyRun
  RubyRequire apache/ruby-run

  # exec files under /ruby as ruby scripts.
  <Location /ruby>
    SetHandler ruby-object
    RubyHandler Apache::RubyRun.instance
    Options ExecCGI
  </Location>

  # exec *.rbx as ruby scripts.
  <Files *.rbx>
    SetHandler ruby-object
    RubyHandler Apache::RubyRun.instance
  </Files>
  # the rest is commented out

Thanks for any help,
Andrew
