It depends what you want to achieve. There is the LAMP style of server (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl) that performs a specific role with direct database access (sort of) through the web-server or you may prefer to go for the 3-tier model. One server with the web-server/application, one with the database and one with 'the middle tier', typically a message queuing service, (e.g. IBMs MQ, Oracle's AQ) and worker processes to move messages and trigger processing according to the messages passed.
The latter works best where there are multiple databases to be queried, typically after company merger where a single front-end is required. it takes more to set up but is more flexible afterwards.
What is you eventual goal?

NAME
camping - small Ruby web framework for MVC type applications
SYNOPSIS
camping app1.rb app2.rb...
DESCRIPTION
Camping is a web framework which consistently stays at less than 4kb of code. The idea here is to store a complete fledgling web applica-
tion (written in Ruby) in a single file like many small CGIs, but to organize it as a Model-View-Controller application like Rails does.
You can then easily move it to Rails once you've got it going.
Specific options:
-h, --host HOSTNAME
Host for web server to bind to (default is all IPs)
-p, --port NUM
Port for web server (defaults to 3301)
-d, --database FILE
SQLite3 database path (defaults to ~/.camping.db)
-C, --console
Run in console mode with IRB
-s, --server NAME
Server to force (mongrel, webrick, console)
Common options:
-?, --help
Show this message
-v, --version
Show version
FILES
~/.camping.db
The default database file.
