Hi, A quick look at google hinted that, as mentioned, your ruby version could be causing this problem. Rails recommends 1.8.6 and I'm pretty sure actually warns against 1.8.7. I found this http:// www.bluehostforum.com/showthread.php?t=13893 which isn't exactly the same but sounds familiar.
As far as making apache work with ROR, there are a ridiculous amount of tutorials out there. The main problem is deciding which one you want to go with. I think you'll find that your local development version is working because it's getting served by either webrick or mongrel and never touching apache. Like you said, make sure your shebang lines are correct in your dispatch.fcgi and dispatch.rb files and make sure your .htaccess file is set up properly. For the css, make sure that the SITE = RAILS_ENV == 'production' ? 'lovdbyless.com' : 'localhost:3000' line in your global_variables.rb file reads SITE = RAILS_ENV == 'production' ? 'mypublicfacingurl.com' : 'localhost:3000' so that the browser can find the css file.
