Mongrel-modproxy Issue

I am trying to setup typo using mongrel and apache2 on Ubuntu Linux
(Dapper). Following the tutorial at
http://www.ridaalbarazi.com/blog/2006/06/21/local-development-environment-part-3/

  1. I set up typo, mongrel-rails to start it – verified by going to
    http:/192.168.2.18:3000
  2. I’ve also tried to set up mod_proxy but that doesn’t seem to be
    working, my VirtualHost configuration:

    ServerName podcast4charis.prolificprogrammer.com
    DocumentRoot /home/hdiwan/charisBlog/public/
    ProxyPass / http://localhost:3000/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:3000/
    ErrorLog /home/hdiwan/charisBlog/log/server.log

    When I restart apache and try accessing the
    http://podcast4charis.prolificprogrammer.com/, which is listed in DNS,
    I get a welcome page (presumably from mod_proxy) which states that
    “You were looking for something else, weren’t you?” I have no clue
    what the problem is and could use some help. Thanks a bunch.
