I installed Passenger successfully . After installing I have added below  
three lines in apache2.conf.

LoadModule passenger\_module  
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.11/ext/apache2/mod\_passenger.so  
PassengerRoot /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.11  
PassengerRuby /usr/bin/ruby1.8

Then I restarted the apache2.

then I have added the below line in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default  
\<VirtualHost \*:80\>

ServerName ipaddress  
ServerAlias [www.domain1.com](http://www.domain1.com)

DocumentRoot /var/www/testapp/public

Then i restarted the apache2.

Then i run the url in browser . I didn’t get any response . But I have  
seen the apache error log,  
I got below errors are flowing in apache error log
