debug rails with rdebug

When logs doesn't help to troubleshoot and you need to use an interactive debugger with rails and ruby (1.8.5)

install ruby-debug gem
in your controller/library/etc... put a line
```
  debugger if defined?(Debugger)
```
start you server
```
  rdebug script/server -n
```
Hit the browser and controller will stop in debugger right on a line next to debugger if defined?(Debugger)

Keywords: rdebug, mongrel, ruby
