You might also find that FastCGI (or even CGI) is a pain:

If you've successfully run a Rails controller via CGI, and you use Oracle, and you're finding that you get a lot of the following messages in your Apache log when you try to switch to FastCGI via dispatch.fcgi:

[warn] FastCGI: (dynamic) server "/rails/msproj/public/dispatch.fcgi" restarted (pid 2327)
[warn] FastCGI: (dynamic) server "/rails/msproj/public/dispatch.fcgi" (pid 2327) terminated by calling exit with status '0'
[warn] FastCGI: (dynamic) server "/rails/msproj/public/dispatch.fcgi" has failed to remain running for 30 seconds given 3 attempts, its restart interval has been backed off to 600 seconds
[warn] FastCGI: (dynamic) server "/rails/msproj/public/dispatch.fcgi" has failed to remain running for 30 seconds given 3 attempts, its restart interval has been backed off to 600 seconds

Then you probably need the following in your httpd.conf file:

SetEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/oracle/lib
SetEnv ORACLE_HOME=/usr/local/oracle
SetEnv ORACLE_SID=orcl
FastCgiConfig -initial-env CPATH=/usr/include/oracle/10.1.0.3/client -initial-env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/oracle/lib -initial-env ORACLE_HOME=/usr/local/oracle -initial-env ORACLE_SID=orcl
