Hello everybody.

I’m trying to run an app with passenger, but having some problems…

In apache2.conf I’m using:

ServerName 10.10.2.15  
Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/[^.#]

Then at /etc/apache2/sites-available/cadamostras I have  
 ServerName 10.10.2.15 DocumentRoot  
/home/cassio/web/cadamostras/public RailsPoolIdleTime 650 ErrorLog  
/var/log/cadamostras/error.log LogLevel info

I ran a2ensite cadamostras to enable it.

But when I point my browser to [http://10.10.2.15](http://10.10.2.15) or at  
[http://10.10.2.15/cadamostras](http://10.10.2.15/cadamostras) I get this error:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was  
unable  
to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [no address given] and inform  
them  
of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that  
may  
have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error  
log.  
Apache/2.2.3 (Ubuntu) Phusion\_Passenger/1.0.5 Server at 10.10.2.15 Port  
80

Looking at /var/log/cadamostras/error.log I can see this:

‘/home/cassio/web/cadamostras’: Could not write ‘spawn\_application’  
command  
to the spawn server: Broken pipe (32)

does anyone knows what can be the problem?

thank you!

Their forum is probably best place to get help…
