Cannot get progress bars to work w/ Apache Progress Module

Rails
1

I am following this screencast
http://railsillustrated.com/screencast-file-uploads-progress-in-rails-passenger.html
as well as comparing this against all the other rails Apache Progress
Module progress bar examples and I can’t figure out why I am always
getting a 404 routing error:

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches “/progress”):

I have a feeling that it’s something centered around my apache
configurations but everything seems to check out.

in my httpd.conf I have these relative configs:

LoadModule upload_progress_module libexec/apache2/mod_upload_progress.so

Include /private/etc/apache2/other/.conf
Include /private/etc/apache2/passenger_pane_vhosts/.conf

in /private/etc/apache2/other/phusion.conf, I have this:

LoadModule passenger_module
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-3.0.7/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-3.0.7
PassengerRuby /usr/local/bin/ruby

in my passenger_pane_vhosts/file_upload_progress1.local.vhost.conf I
have this virtual host set up:

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName file_upload_progress1.local
   DocumentRoot
"/Library/WebServer/Documents/ROR_tests/file_upload_progress1/public"
   RailsEnv development
   #RailsAllowModRewrite off

   <directory
"/Library/WebServer/Documents/ROR_tests/file_upload_progress1/public">
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
       # AllowOverride all
   </directory>

    # needed for tracking upload progess
    <Location />
        # enable tracking uploads in /
        TrackUploads On
    </Location>

    <Location /progress>
        # enable upload progress reports in /progress
        ReportUploads On
    </Location>
</VirtualHost>

in /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf I have:
NameVirtualHost *:80

Another off the hand problem I’m having, and might be a clue is w/ my
Passenger Pane. I installed the Phusion Passenger Pane and every time
I try to add an entry, I get this error: Your changes couldn’t be saved
See the Console log for details.

Please help! I’ve spent days trying to figure this out and it’s driving
me crazy.

You need to tell passenger not to pass /progress to your rails app -
eg by sticking PassengerEnabled off in that location block

Frederick,
Thanks for your help as always.

I adding the PassengerEnabled directive inside the location block as
such:

<Location /progress>
# enable upload progress reports in /progress
PassengerEnabled off
ReportUploads On

I restarted apache and passenger and I’m still getting the 404:

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches “/progress”):

Hmm, that works for me. I’d check apache’s error logs (and the console
log and /var/log/system.log) to see if the upload module is
complaining about anything

I tried all of these:

tail -f /var/log/system.log
tail -f /private/var/log/apache2/error_log
tail -f /private/var/log/apache2/access_log

as well as the console and, so far, I’m not seeing anything relevant.
