Use these steps instead of making configuration with web server level and editing plugin:

#The steps need to be performed to use resque-web with in your application

#In routes.rb

ApplicationName::Application.routes.draw do
  resources :some_controller_name
  mount Resque::Server, :at=> "/resque"
end

#That's it now you can access it from within your application i.e
#http://localhost:3000/resque

#To be insured that that Resque::Server is loaded add its requirement condition in Gemfile

gem 'resque', :require=>"resque/server"

#To add  basic http authentication add resque_auth.rb file in initializers folder and add these lines for the security

Resque::Server.use(Rack::Auth::Basic) do |user, password|
  password == "secret"
end

#That's It !!!!! :)
