Usually not ...

The packages are available in Debian/stable and as .rpm packages.

The file
	/usr/share/doc/libapache-mod-ruby/examples/httpd.conf
contains all necessary configuration code which can be included nearly
unmodified in the /etc/apache/httpd.conf. The only necessary changes are
to uncomment the ruby features you want to offer :-)
(eruby, ...)

Probably you should add "index.rhtml" to the DirectoryIndex, but that's all.

The only issues I see are possibly security problems when trying to
configure it using suexec and different rights per vhost etc.

Is there anyone who knows more about it?
