Ruby on Rails with Xampp

I have 开发者_Python百科a xampp installed on my windows 7 machine. Now i want to work with Ruby on Rails. For that i have installed Ruby and then installed rails using the command prompt.

Now the problem is that i do not know how to integrate my existing xampp installation with ruby on rails so i can use the Apache server and MySQL databases.

I do not want to install MySQL and some other webserver as it will cause a lot of problems for me. So please guide me about any fixes i should use which will make the apache and MySQL from xampp to work with Ruby on Rails.

You could use this method or try out something like Passenger.

You can just develop using Webrick or Mongrel and worry about Apache in production. Your MySQL installation should work fine with rails as-is. You will just need to configure your database.yml file appropriately based on your MySQL database settings.
