Setting up Apache for Ruby

[ScottInTexas]

I hope someone can help with this. I have recently installed Ruby and Ruby on Rails. I already have Apache, MySQL and PHP running. After reading Roy Thomas Fielding's Disertation on Architectual Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures I decided to learn Ruby. So I have to get it working on my machine  (Windows XP, SP3). The problem: When I navigate to my test program called blog, I get the index of the directory. It seems to me this happened when I installed php a few years ago. It is obvious I am not executing the cgi. Information on the web keeps talking about the .htaccess file which I don't have. I don't want to create a new problem. Other information on the web is mostly Linux setups and don't seem to fit my system enough to figure out where to look for the answers.

My hosts file;
127.0.0.1   localhost
127.0.0.1   blog

My httpd file:

Code:

Apache is running and MySQL is running. I can navigate to phpMyAdmin without a problem.

I am sure there is something simple going on here, but I don't know what, so my assurances may just be BS.

Thanks for looking.

first, you don't run a CGI at all. Your PHP is configured to be an Apache SAPI module, apprently.

If you get the directory list in accessing http://localhost/ or http://blog/ it's normal. You probably don't have an index page... (index.html or index.php). You could also pay attention to the httpd.conf settings about index page' allowed extensions.
