Rails tutorial runs on WebRick but not Apache??

[sixside]

I'm pretty new to apache, I just installed it on Windows and listening on port 8080, I tested it with HTML and it works. Also added/tested PHP support. I went through the steps of installing ruby, then rails, added FCGI support. I then tried to start building my first app, I am walking through this http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2...ls.html?page=2 cookbook tutorial.

I can get things to work while running the WEBrick server, but I cant for the life of me seem to get it working on Apache.

I've got the cookbook rails files installed under the htdocs dir underneath Apache's program dir.

If I navigate to the localhost:8080/cookbook directory I get an error:

Routing Error
Recognition failed for "/cookbook"

Same thing if I try localhost:8080/

Routing Error
Recognition failed for "/"


I would greatly appreciate any help so I can get this running!

The webserver underwhich RoR runs for that tutorial should not matter. I did the cookbook on my local RoR install under Apache without incident.

Check to make sure your Apache rewrite engine is enable in the .conf file, as well as turned on, and check to make sure the rewrite rules are in fact within your .htaccess file.

Did you look at any of the access/error log files from apache or the development.log file in the log folder of your rails app?

They should be able to point you in the right direction to determine if your requests are being passed correctly to the dispatch.fcgi script.

Any tutorials on making it running on apache instead of WebRick?
