[Rails] problems with apache

[Dylan]

thanks for your suggestion.
it didn't fix it but it's handy to know all the same.

for anyone else in the same boat, I was using WAMP5 with the apache 2 
add-on (wampserver.com), and it was playing up despite a few clean 
installations.  I've run just the standalone apache2 installer from the 
apache group and the problems have dissapeared so I can think we can 
safely say wampserver doesn't play nice with rails.
