John,

I''m not sure if/how I can help, but Rails runs on my box with MySQL
4.1.10, Apache 2.0.53, Ruby 1.8.2 and Rails 0.10.0. I haven''t tried
FastCGI on Windows, but it seems that creating C:/tmp might be the only
thing it needs. I want to try lighttpd in Cygwin next.

If there''s a question I can answer, feel free to ask.
