Rails - Jul 2006 - apache cgi error

Good day.
First of all sory for my english, it isnt well.

I have my first ruby on rails application.
When i use WEBrick my app works fine.

But when i tried to run it under apache, i have the following message in 
browser:
__________________
Application error
Rails application failed to start properly
__________________

The message in apache error log:
__________________
malformed header from script. Bad header=58: dispatch.cgi
__________________


And the most unintelligible fact is the message in rails development 
log. In this log i see that the app gets the request from apache and do 
its work, as it runs from WEBrick.

My httpd.conf is

<VirtualHost myservername>
   ServerName rails
   DocumentRoot /path/to/my/application/public/
   ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/rails.log

   <Directory /path/to/my/application/public/>
      Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride all
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
   </Directory>
</VirtualHost>


and all necessary modules has been loaded.

Thank you.

This could be happening if you have an extra line break added to the
first line of dispatch.cgi. This could happen if you have uploaded the
files using windows.
Run ''cat -v public/dispatch.cgi | head -1'' and see if there is
a hidden
''^M'' at the end of the line, if so remove it and try again.
