I am NO ruby expert but the solution most likely is in the missing addhandler configuration for your ruby extensions hence you may be MISSING one or several of below lines: AddType application/x-httpd-ruby .rb AddType application/x-httpd-ruby .rbx Action application/x-httpd-ruby /cgi-bin/ruby.cgi in the PROPER apache configuration file - depending on your distribution typically in the default apache configuration where you find your: DefaultType text/plain AddType text/html .htm .html you may Google for something like: AddType application .rb ruby site:apache.org or AddType application .rb ruby to find some more help instantly if needed NOTE that the addhandler line requires the file extension INCLUDING the preceeding DOT = .rb instead of your rb !! then TEST your apache config file with the existing apache config test scripts in my opensuse this would be: rcapache2 configtest rcapache2 extreme-configtest your dist may have similar test scripts and if OK restart your apache hope this helps you a step further on your solution good luck
