# sudo gem install -y rails

# sudo mkdir -p /var/run/fastcgi
# sudo chown webservd:webservd /var/run/fastcgi

Apache 2

apache2.conf 

LoadModule fastcgi_module     /usr/pkg/lib/httpd/mod_fastcgi.so

<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
  AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
</IfModule>

virtual-host.conf 

<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
   FastCgiServer  /var/www/demo.asyd.net/roradius/public/dispatch.fcgi -processes 3 -initial-env RAILS_ENV=development -idle-timeout 120
</IfModule>

<Directory /var/www/demo.asyd.net/roradius/public/>
   AllowOverride all
</Directory>

<VirtualHost *:80>

If you want use SQLite3,
