I really recommend the use of lighttpd and FastCGI. It's almost
trivial to set up.
I use the spawn-fcgi program to start the rails app with the user's
permissions, then just point lighttpd to the socket file I create. The user
that lighttpd runs under will need wr access to that socket.
If you want, I can send you the little ruby script I use to spawn the
fcgi process and a snippet of my lighttpd config. This is the only
configuration I have been happy with.
