I have the same configuration above as well on Win XP/SP2.  FastCGI works
fine, as does mod_ruby, SQLite2, and SQLite3.  No problems whatsoever here.

You wouldn''t happen to have been running Windows Apache2  with the

BTW, Webrick can be installed as a service using the cygrunsrv utility under
cygwin with cygwin ruby or with the srvany utility windows using windows
ruby.
