Problems with getting started, part 2

Hi All,

After the last attempt back in November, I have installed up to date 
(and compatible) versions of ruby and rails. Ruby on rail now runs as 
CGI, but I still can't get it to  run with mod_ruby. I've changed the 
dispatch.rb to include the full path for dispatcher. However I get 
"Rails application failed to start properly" as output. The apache error 
log gives the errors pasted below this e-mail. If I would have to guess 
I would say that there are still some compatibility issues. However, a 
simple hello world app processed with mod_ruby, works fine.

I have also seen that I might need to add some configuration to make 
mod_ruby work with Rails. Can some tell me some more about this?

Thanks a lot for any information.

Best regards,
Arnold

PS. I don't see that much activity around mod_ruby (mailinglist, 
releases), nor do I see this being used as a common solution. Is this 
module not really good and there for abandoned or is there some other 
reason? Please give me a reassuring word for choosing mod_ruby.

-------------

Apache 2.0.55
ruby 1.8.6
Rails 2.0.2
mod_ruby 1.2.6
