Windows/Apache2/MySql/RoR Help? (Plus rant!!)

I have a pre-existing installation of apache2.2/php/mysql on
Windows
Server 2003.  I just want to install rails to work with it. 
Does anyone
know of any decent information about how to do this?

<RANT>
It doesn't inspire confidence in Rails when I search the web
for a way
to get RoR working with a pre-existing installation of
Apache and all I
can find is a million people telling me to "go get
InstantRails!"
Instant Rails is, apparently, for people who don't already
have a server
and who just want to open a folder and be done with it... in
other
words, it is for unserious developers with no established
business in
web development.  And apparently, these are the only people
using Ruby.

As someone with no established business in web developent, I
can say
firsthand that this makes me question why
"serious" people aren't using
Rails or asking questions about how to get it working with
their php
servers... why aren't they migrating?
</RANT>

Okay... thanks for any info!

Every one I know that's doing this is running their
installations on  
some iteration of linux, which is why you're probably not
finding a  
lot of Windows information.

First install Ruby:

http:
//rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl

Then install Rails

gem install rails --include-dependencies

Then mongrel and mongrel_cluster

gem install mongrel -y
gem install mongrel_cluster -y

create a rails app:

rails appname

type ruby script/server

bam it's running.

Now configure Apache server with mod_proxy

http://bl
og.codahale.com/2006/06/19/time-for-a-grown-up-server-rails-
mongrel-apache-capistrano-and-you/

All this was available with the help of google. ;)

If you need to know how to add gems, libraries, language
syntax, etc -
there is a wealth of information out there, plus books.

I use rails on XP, Win2003 server, Ubuntu and Fedora.
Some things are naturally Linux based but there is lot, or
sufficient,
information for windows deployment.
