Can we run ruby codes (Heatmap) in PHP/Apache running server?

[Raju Gautam]

Hello ruby users,

I have a project in PHP/MySQL installed in *NIX server with Apache. Now I have prepared the heat maps using Ruby on my local system. It is working properly in my local system. Now i want to install this heat map creating facility for my PHP project pages. Is it possible to install ruby in my server so that i could upload the ruby files to create heat map? If possible, please let me know what should i do for this.

Actually how can i manage that problem? Can i install ruby, ImageMagic and others in my apache running server?

Please help me or suggest me how i can do this. If you are not getting what i mean please ask me.

Thanx you all in advance.

With Regards
Raju Gautam

Thanx for the response. Can you elaborate that what and how i should exactly install in my server if i have permission? As I have run my ruby script here with InstantRails, how can i deploy the .rb files in my server?
