Please Help: Accessing Ruby app brings up Apache test page

Rails

Hello.

I finally got Ruby, Gem and Passenger installed without any glaring
errors.

ruby 1.8.6 (2010-02-05 patchlevel 399) [x86_64-linux]
gem 1.3.5

I added the following lines to my httpd.conf:

LoadModule passenger_module /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/
passenger-2.2.10/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.10
PassengerRuby /usr/local/bin/ruby

(confirmed the files/folders are present)

and for the virtual host we have:

<VirtualHost 69.69.69.169.80>
SuexecUserGroup “#528” “#529”

A lot of the stuff I commented out above came from Virtualmin so I cut
it down to the basics that Passenger guide suggested.

When I hit the site I am getting the default “Apache 2 Test Page”.
When I put a test index.html in “public” for this app (the app is
called clockingIT) the index.html is loading as expected, as if Ruby
doesn’t exist.

So I’m guessing something is missing… How can I check if Passenger is
loaded correctly? I don’t get any errors when I start Apache, so…

Thanks for any help!!

Any ideas? Thanks for any advice.

Shouldn’t the virtual host be

<VirtualHost 69.69.69.169:80>

Note the colon?

Cheers

I’d cd into your app dir and run
ruby script/server
then try to hit your app on port 3000, if that works, rails is set up ok
and it’s your apache/passenger setup that is wrong

Oh, yes it is colon in the actual httpd.conf, I typo’d when I was
removing my actual IP address. The website is accessible without
problems, except Ruby is not loading up.

Is there any way I can test if Ruby is indeed installed correctly?
What could I be missing?

Thanks.
