Yesterday I took the time to install everything to run both PHP and Rails applications on a clean build of Ubuntu linux. However when I'm trying to navigate to my rails dummy app,I see an index page of the public folder.

This is the link: http://rails.kreatude.com/

Whenever I try to run the passenger-status command I receive a:

ERROR: Phusion Passenger doesn't seem to be running.
My passenger configs are (these are in a separate file called passenger.conf):

LoadModule passenger_module /repositories/passenger/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /repositories/passenger
PassengerRuby /usr/local/rvm/wrappers/ruby-1.9.2-p290/ruby

RailsEnv production

I include these settings in the general conf file (apache2.conf)

...
#
# Define an access log for VirtualHosts that don't define their own logfile
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/other_vhosts_access.log vhost_combined

# Passenger specific configuration:
Include /etc/apache2/passenger.conf

# Include of directories ignores editors' and dpkg's backup files,
# see README.Debian for details.

# Include generic snippets of statements
Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/

# Include the virtual host configurations:
Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/

and my application conf file:

<VirtualHost 178.79.166.172:80>
    ServerName rails.kreatude.com
    DocumentRoot /srv/www/rails.kreatude.com/current/public
  <Directory /src/www/rails.kreatude.com/current/public>
    AllowOverride all
    Options -MultiViews
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

As an experiment I already tried cd-ing to /srv/www/rails.kreatude.com/current/ and ran rails s. Then I could access my site at: http://rails.kreatude.com:3000 without problems.

I have the lists of all commands I prompted to setup this machine, if you need these for finding a solution feel free to ask. Any help would be appreciated.

PS: I also posted this question at serverfault without any luck. Feel free to aswer where you prefer. [/url]

There isn't a document there like 'index.html' for apache to server, as configured with 'DirectoryIndex', so apache is generating a server side index of the directory. I believe the 'Options' setting controls this.


If your application works there, then you could redirect traffic to it or proxy it.

Of course there isn't an index.html, otherwise the rails app would load that particular file, instead of the specified root route.



Afaik you shouldn't run the rails s command to run your rails app in production, instead passenger should do this.

Thanks anyway
