WEBrick is still best for development. Transitioning to Apache is good when
you are moving closer to production deployment and you want to develop in an
environment that is similar to the eventual production environment.
Your setup look good to me (I just skimmed it quickly). You could try it
with an empty (blank) password, temporarily, just to make sure there
isn''t
some sort of problem there.
I''m going to be in meetings all day today, so hopefully someone else
can
help out if you''re unable to figure it out.
