I usually just use whatever is the most robust, stable open source choice for Rails app. Sphinx for search, etc. and Apache for the web server. Doing SSL is well documented and pretty much everything is possible and documented and supported by webmin too. I have a virtual host sending all non-ssl requests to ssl. It doesn't have to be Ruby, especially if I won't be programming for it anyway.
