Trouble with Rails installation process on my linux server

[Shpigford]

Okay...here's what I've got:

Linux Server running:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3
Apache 1.3.33

It's a dedicated server that I have root access to.

I want to install RoR and access the things I program directly from a
URL (ie http://www.example.com/something/another) without having to
attach the port (like :3000) to it. I've been told I need to install it
for Apache but can't really figure out what all needs to be done to do
that.

Any direction would be great.

You'll probably find your answer here:

Specifically:

Does it matter that I'm running Red Hat Enterprise Linux and not Red Hat Linux 9 and I'm running Apache 1.3.33 not Apache 2.

It shouldn't... there is a doc for enterprise linux there too though jsut to let you know.

Okay, I've done the one for Linux and I ran ./script/server on http://www.sabotagemedia.com but it would only start the server on http://www.sabotagemedia.com:3000/....when I would just want it on the domain w/o the port number. I tried forcing the port to 80 but it would just say it's already running. Do I have to quit the webserver and restart with --port=80? Or how would that work? I'm basically just wanting to get rid of the port number.

This is still lighttpd, but it might give you some ideas about ports and document roots:
