Subject: Ruby + Apache, scripts not being interpreted

I am trying to get Ruby running on Apache. I may or may not have a
problem. What do you think?

I have a test site called ruby-test set up with a vhost. When I go to
rails-test/ I see the "Welcome Aboard" page. But when I click the
"About your application's environment" link the script doesnt get
interpreted ... I just see it as text. I havent gone any further than
this, as I have been trying to get that script to run.

rails-test/public/.htaccess looks like:

AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
ErrorDocument 500 "<h2>Application error</h2>Rails application failed
to start properly"

The vhost .conf for the site looks like:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/var/www/webroot/rails-test/public"
    ServerName rails-test
    <Directory "/var/www/webroot/rails-test/public">
        Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride all
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Is the problem that the .rb file that the link points to is in a
directory that doesnt have +ExecCGI set? What must I do to fix this?
Am quite stuck.

I guess one solution is to get mod_ruby working right? But I cant
figure out how to check if it is working already, or find a set of
instructions how to install it.

Help greatly appreciated, thanks.
