The web server simply looks at the information you submit ( a page for
example) and routes it to the proper destination in rails. With me
it''s frequently error pages though.

Rails comes with a web server named webrick which works nicely enough
for learning about Rails. Mongrel is a separate, higher performance
web server that you can install via gem.

Keep plugging away at it with sample apps untill you feel confident
enough to write something of your own.

And - don''t stop asking questions
