Passenger problem

Rails
1

I’ve used the Slicehost Intrepid instructions (http://
articles.slicehost.com/ubuntu-intrepid) to install a new Ubuntu server
with Ruby, Rails and passenger.

Everything seems to be working OK, save for one thing: my application
only service up the files that are in its public folder.

The Passenger gem is installed. I’ve done this whole process before
without any problem. Any thoughts on how I can go about figuing how to
fix this?

Thanx in advance.

Any troubleshooting help is greatly appreciated.

If you look in the Apache error_log what does the log say when the
server restarts?

Something like this maybe?

Apache/2.2.11 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.11 OpenSSL/0.9.8k DAV/2
Phusion_Passenger/2.2.4 configured – resuming normal operations

Do you get an error?

A couple questions that might sound dumb, but just to be sure:

  • Even though the passenger gem is installed, did you run the
    passenger install script for apache? (passenger-install-apache2-
    module)
  • Is there a line that says PassengerEnabled On; in your vhost?
  • Do you get a 404 or 500 when you go to a Rails url? Is there
    anything in the rails log file that indicates that it’s receiving the
    request?

I should not that this has been resolved.

My problem? I was trying to create another virtual host, when really,
I needed the app to run on the default host for the server.

I added the RailsBaseURI to the default vhost config file, and then it
worked just fine. Thanks for your help!
