= README for mod_ruby == What's mod_ruby? mod_ruby embeds the Ruby interpreter into the Apache web server, allowing Ruby CGI scripts to be executed natively. These scripts will start up much faster than without mod_ruby. == Required environment * Ruby version 1.6.x or later. (Recommends version 1.6.4 or later.) * Apache version 1.3.3 or later. You can use Apache 2.0 also, but there are some restrictions. * You should build mod_ruby as a DSO module. (Please use --with-apxs option instead of --with-apache option when running configure.rb.) * Some methods are not implemented for Apache 2.0 because Apache 2.0 API is different from Apache 1.x API. == Installation (1) Type `./configure.rb' to create Makefile. (Type `./configure.rb --help' to get a help message.) (2) Type `make' to compile mod_ruby. (3) Type `make install' to install files. (4) Edit `httpd.conf'. (see examples/httpd.conf.) (5) Restart Apache. == Official Web Site ((<URL:http://modruby.net/>))
