Subject: apache2 + eruby problem


I can get Apache2 on Ubuntu Edgy to execute ruby (.rb) files. But I'm having
trouble getting it to recognize .rhtml files. Here is the sites-available file.

/etc/apache2/sites-available/www.site.local:

<VirtualHost *>
	ServerAdmin webmaster@site.local
	ServerName  www.site.local
	ServerAlias site.local
	AddHandler cgi-script .rb
	AddType application/x-httpd-eruby .rhtml
	DirectoryIndex index.php
	DocumentRoot /var/www/site
	ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/site/
	<Location />
		Options +ExecCGI
	</Location>
	ErrorLog  /var/www/site/logs/error.log
	CustomLog /var/www/site/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

I installed eruby and have /usr/sbin/eruby in my path. I'm trying to get a
ruby hit counter embedded in html format files, so I think that I'd need
eruby to do that. If I try opening test.rhtml the browser wants to open it
as text or download it. Here is test.rhtml:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>eruby test</title>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<h1>eruby test</h1>
<p>
<% print "hello world" %>
</p>
</center>
</body>
</html>

Can someone explain how to get .rhtml files working with Apache2?

thanks,
Sam
