This is a good starting point:
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/ruby-on-rails-2.1/index.htm

You can find lots more by Googling "Ruby on Rails Tutorial".
You should delete your existing installation and upgrade, as well. There is
an all-in-one installation that includes Apache, Ruby and Rails, all
configured to load and go. There's also a good book by Aneesha Bakharia
called "Ruby On Rails Power! The Comprehensive Guide".

The thing about RoR that amazes me is how much you get done with how few
commands. Years ago, I tried a similar approach with a product called
Artful.Lib and its successors. Never did get it as slick as RoR, though.
