Hi,

as I have written, I haven't read your full post ;-) So, after your
questions, I guess there's a problem with rights somewhere.
You may try to simplify your tests to a simple http request, although
it won't help much (except it might be faster to check).

Vista's rights are tighter than XP. Some hints what you can try:

1. shutdown firewall if you have any
2. running apache under normal user if you run it as a service
3. run rhtml under webrick to see if it makes a difference
4. run your standalone script as a cgi. it won't get any input, but
the error should be logged somewhere in the apache logs
   (don't forget proper shebang line)
5. examine apache and system logs (sorry if it's too obvious)

I haven't use eruby on windows, so these are just guesses.
