Please help me to configure apache with mongrel\_cluster.  
I have followed all the instructions but I can’t access any page  
except index.html.

My httpd.conf:

NameVirtualHost \*  
\<VirtualHost \*\>  
#ServerName 127.0.1.1  
DocumentRoot /home/test1/cookbook2/public

\<Directory “/home/test1/cookbook2/public”\>  
Options FollowSymLinks  
AllowOverride None  
Order allow,deny  
Allow from all

This is a question best asked on the Rails deployment list. Could you  
also post your mongrel\_cluster.yml configuration and double-check that  
you can access your Mongrels on the 8000 and 8001 ports (why is the 8000  
one commented out)?
