mod_ruby hasn't been maintained since 2006, and people generally avoid 
it. FastCGI is in a similar situations: people tend to avoid it because 
its implementation has all kinds of problems.

Maybe you should consider using Rack [1] in combination with Phusion 
Passenger [2] instead?

Do 'require "config/environment"'. This will load the Rails environment 
and initialize plugins, but you will retain full control over how the 
application processes HTTP requests.
