It was very hard to install eruby, I had to install erb, and then I did
the same for eruby. I was not able to install mod_ruby on my tiger the
first time. and I can't install it this time either.
./configure.rb --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs
works on tiger,
but the make gives an error.
Where is this documentation on ruby CGI modules and classes?
I am actually eager to see something emerge that will be the next twist to Rails (adopting it's developments
and findings but then with proper components, interresting sesson persistence etc.)
I am sure it's possible to get some mileage out of Rails components by themselves as well.

I've been shipping and supporting commercial applications in
Ruby-without-Rails for three years now. There are tutorials out there for
getting eruby and mod_ruby to work with Apache. Also, if you read the
documentation for Ruby CGI modules and classes, that's a big head start.
Performance can be a problem, but it's vastly better than Rails at any rate.
And some newer approaches are starting to emerge as well.

And I am /delighted/ to hear that there are aspects of
Rails I can use without a database (thanks, Asenchi).Thinking I had to install a database is one of the things
that has kept me from taking a look at Rails...
Even if you do find you need a database eventually, you should take a look at sqlite (if you haven't already). Drop dead simple, especially with Rails' migrations.

But recently I've made good progress getting mod_ruby and eRuby
working together to produce a lightweight web environment much like
PHP (where I came to Ruby from). Althought I understand mod_ruby
has some speed issues.
However, get, post, and cookies are still a bit of a headache. I'm
hoping to make some progress on that shortly.
-MatI've used Rails so much, that now I just install Rails, and use it
without a database. I really like the whole environment and since I
am used to it (testing, webrick while designing, etc.) it works really
well. Just a suggestion. Good luck.I've considered this option as well and I kinda like it. My main drive for creating a PHP-like Ruby web environment is evangelism, I think. Lowering the barrier to entry so that (so long as it's installed on the server) all a user has to do to start coding is open a .rhtml file. That and possibly pairing it with a PHP->Ruby translation package to get my old apps working in Ruby (albeit, ugly Ruby).
Hopefully I'm not grossing out anyone too much here, but _I_ think it's worthwhile.

ruby CGI docs are in the rdocs.
Might be easiest for you to build apache from source. I'd do it in a
non-privileged user directory (./configure --prefix=/Users/you/some_dir)
while you're figuring it out, and make sure you throw the switches to give
you an so-enabled build with apxs.
