Ruby on Rails 403 Not Found

I am trying to get a simple demo of Ruby on Rails working on my local version of Apache (Mac OS X 10.6). I have a folder in the localhost linked to the public folder (/Users/david/Sites/demo/public to localhost/demo), I have permissions set to read write execute for the group and the group set to _www. I have the directory set to:

<Directory "/Users/david/Sites/demo/public">
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

When I try to go to the site (http://localhost/demo) I get a 403 Permission denied error.

Turns out I needed to add:

LoadModule passenger_module /Users/david/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.15/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /Users/david/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.15
PassengerRuby /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby

To my httpd.conf file.

Alright, I may be misunderstanding your question, but the problem is that you need to have something to handle the server-side code, not just a pointer to the directory - this isn't a static set of html pages, you know? You need to set up some sort of Rails webserver to run on top of Apache: mongrel is one of these, probably the easiest in my opinion if you're an apache man is Passenger.

Unless I just totally missed your question....
