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: \ SuexecUserGroup “#528” “#529” ServerName [clockingit.mywebsite.com](http://clockingit.mywebsite.com) ServerAlias [www.clockingit.mywebsite.com](http://www.clockingit.mywebsite.com) ServerAlias [webmail.clockingit.mywebsite.com](http://webmail.clockingit.mywebsite.com) ServerAlias [admin.clockingit.mywebsite.com](http://admin.clockingit.mywebsite.com) DocumentRoot /home/mywebsite/domains/clockingit.mywebsite.com/ clockingit/public ErrorLog /var/log/virtualmin/clockingit.mywebsite.com\_error\_log CustomLog /var/log/virtualmin/clockingit.mywebsite.com\_access\_log combined #ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/mywebsite/domains/ [clockingit.mywebsite.com/cgi-bin/](http://clockingit.mywebsite.com/cgi-bin/) #ScriptAlias /awstats /home/mywebsite/domains/clockingit.mywebsite.com/ cgi-bin #DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php index.php4 index.php5 \ Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks -MultiViews allow from all AllowOverride All RailsEnv production PassengerHighPerformance on #\ #allow from all # #RewriteEngine on #RewriteCond %{HTTP\_HOST} =[webmail.clockingit.mywebsite.com](http://webmail.clockingit.mywebsite.com) #RewriteRule ^(._) [https://clockingit.mywebsite.com:20000/](https://clockingit.mywebsite.com:20000/) [R] #RewriteCond %{HTTP\_HOST} =[admin.clockingit.mywebsite.com](http://admin.clockingit.mywebsite.com) #RewriteRule ^(._) [https://clockingit.mywebsite.com:10000/](https://clockingit.mywebsite.com:10000/) [R] # #AuthName “[clockingit.mywebsite.com](http://clockingit.mywebsite.com) statistics” #AuthType Basic #AuthUserFile /home/mywebsite/domains/ [mywebsite.com is available for purchase - Sedo.com](http://clockingit.mywebsite.com/.awstats-htpasswd) #require valid-user # #Alias /dav /home/mywebsite/domains/clockingit.mywebsite.com/ clockingit/public #\ #DAV On #AuthType Basic #AuthName [clockingit.mywebsite.com](http://clockingit.mywebsite.com) #AuthUserFile /home/mywebsite/domains/clockingit.mywebsite.com/etc/ dav.digest.passwd #Require valid-user #ForceType text/plain #Satisfy All # 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!! ---

Shouldn’t the virtual host be \ Note the colon? Cheers Simon ---

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.
