Did that, but got the same results.

Here it goes. It's just the default .htaccess that rails installs, with
dispatch.cgi changed to dispatch.rb:

AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.rb [QSA,L]

I tried adding "AddHandler ruby-script .rb" but that didn't change
anything.

Thanks, I'll look into that as soon as I get mod_ruby to work :)
