If you are attempting to set up a Rails framework development set-up you have a large choice of options. For PHP, Python, and PERL you could realistically if using Apache use the XAMPP install.
For SCGI you can use the mod_scgi provided by the SCGI Ruby on Rails Runner. What if not using Apache but Lighthttpd?
Keep the same XAMPP install and configure Lighthttpd to use the same XAMPP install directories of the scripting language you are using. This way no matter what hosting solution you have one nice development set-up instead of a big mess.
Plus, when devlooping a production site you may find that you actually need to switch from regular CGI to FCGI or SCGI and thus need a good set-up that allows you make those changes fat.
