These were the additional steps needed to make this work (note:
it doesn't seem to be worth the effort trying to get 64 bit mysql
to work with ruby since it would seem that you'd have to build
a 64 bit ruby to do so)):

Up and running! But if I add new pages in one HTTP session,
another http session doesn't seem to see the changes unless I
restart the mini web server. It seems like WEBrick 1.3.1 is
somehow caching pages so that updates don't make it so you
have to keep restarting it. I would test it with mongrel (which
worked fine with another RoR application) but:

However I need to run it as CGI because of hosting complications
(my ISP doesn't support Ruby yet) 

Now it gets messy

./public/dispatch.cgi and ./public/dispatch.fcgi both start out with

#!c:/ruby/bin/ruby^M
^M

not good start :-)

This isn't working. Has anyone been able to get instiki to run as
CDI on any platform? It looks like it needs vendor/rails, which
doesn't compile...

Back to Perl, I guess :-(
