You can, it's called webrick. No other framework or language I've worked with has a built-in application server. Maybe java does, but PHP and perl certainly don't. Two web servers is really not a big deal. Honestly, it seems like you're simply opposed to doing what it takes to get rails running. Either recompile php with fastcgi (not hard), get apache working with fastcgi (hard), or proxy lighttpd through apache (not hard). You're not going to deploy on your home machine, so I'm curious why the resistance to using webrick. Personally, I don't use it because it's too slow, and that's a totally reasonable thing. But at the point of this much frustration I'd deal with it being slow to get it working.
