I started rails by reading Beginning Rails from Apress. It will take you through most of what you need to know to start Rails. Being a .NET developer, it was quite easy to pick it up but I believe it is accessible to non web developer.
With Rails, you don't need to learn SQL (unless you have very specific tasks to achieve). JavaScript is nice to have (I would recommend you to use jQuery, a JavaScript framework) but you can have a full web app running without JavaScript. Apache? No need, Rails comes with Mongrel. Ruby ... of course but you'll just need the basics and learn as you go.
