Hi,
I’m pretty sure what you’re referring to is pointing Apache (the A in
XAMPP) to your rails server. If this is your development environment,
there isn’t really a point in doing it. It would simply forward requests
from port 80 and pass it over to port 3000, where you’re likely running
your rails server.

I’d keep 'em separated, but that’s just me.

SET up a virtual host in apache with passenger gem

Check the permissions on the folder containing your Rails app
(wherever XAMPP requires the Apache root to be). Did you generate the
application there directly, or did you copy it over from another
folder on your PC? I have no idea what user XAMPP runs as, or what
user its Apache daemon runs as, but that user will need permission to
execute folders and read files within the Rails root (and write log
files), and the /public stuff will naturally need to be 755 (folders)
and 644 (files) for “world” access, even if it’s just you looking at
it on the same PC over a localhost URL.

I’ll repeat (again) what I’ve heard so many times over the years on
this list: this is all orders of magnitude easier on Linux (boot or
VM) or a Mac. Engine Y. has a very nice setup to allow Rails dev on
a PC in Windows, you might want to check that out as well.
