Subject: mod_ruby and Rails configuration files

I walked through Curt Hibbs' tutorial
(http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html?page=1) for
Ruby on Rails and was very impressed.  So far though, I've only gotten
my Rails web site running through WEBrick.  I'd like to get it running
through Apache.  I have mod_ruby installed, and Apache's configuration
files now get Apache to correctly handle *.rhtml pages through eRuby.
But I haven't been able to figure out the Apache configuration to get
my Rails cookbook/recipe app to run from within Apache.

Below is the configuration section relevant to the discussion.  Can
anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong, and how I can get Rails
running through Apache?  (I believe I'm running the latest ruby and
rails available--from Gentoo Portage)

Thanks in advance.  Configuration follows.

LoadModule ruby_module	../apache2-extramodules/mod_ruby.so

# Ruby scripts (.rbx) support
<IfModule mod_ruby.c>
	RubyRequire apache/ruby-run

	# Execute *.rbx files as Ruby scripts
	<Files *.rbx>
		SetHandler ruby-object
		RubyHandler Apache::RubyRun.instance
	</Files>
</IfModule>

# eRuby (.rhtml) support
<IfModule mod_ruby.c>
	RubyRequire apache/eruby-run

	# Handle *.rhtml files as eRuby files
	<Files *.rhtml>
		SetHandler ruby-object
		RubyHandler Apache::ERubyRun.instance
	</Files>
</IfModule>

Alias /cookbook "/home/ala55/rails/cookbook/public"

	Order allow,deny
	Allow from all

	Options ExecCGI
	SetHandler ruby-object
