Passenger 5 is listing public directory - ruby-on-rails

I'm using Centos cPanel with Passenger, the app is working when I access in to the sections for example /home or /login but it displays the files when I access directly to the page /.
This is my .htaccess config
PassengerEnabled On
PassengerLoadShellEnvVars On
PassengerAppRoot /home/claude/rails/claude
PassengerRuby /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p648/wrappers/ruby
RackEnv production
PassengerResolveSymlinksInDocumentRoot on
I already tried disabling autoindex
#LoadModule autoindex_module modules/mod_autoindex.so
but it doesn't let me restart apache.
Does anyone have resolved this issue before?
Thanks.

Done!
So the issue was that I installed first passenger-5.0.10 but for some reason Apache was trying to load passenger-5.0.30 but I was including the other version in httpd.conf so I reinstalled again passenger 5.0.30 and that was it.
Thanks.

What have I done wrong in setting up Passenger/mod_rails?

I am attempting to get a Rails development environment up using a CentOS virtual machine. It will run Apache with Phusion Passenger, and I will access it from the host OS by entering the VM's LAN IP (eg 192.168.0.5).
I have been able to run Rails apps perfectly using WEBrick, and I have been able to serve static pages and PHP perfectly from Apache. But getting Passenger set up is proving to be a baffling nightmare of endless problems for me, and I would absolutely love some help from someone who knows what they're doing here.
So here's what I've done.
Booted into a fresh CentOS 6.3 machine. Using yum, installed httpd (Apache 2.2), sqlite-devel, all the other good stuff you need.
Installed RVM (to /home/vagrant/.rvm/), and Ruby 2.1.2, which I can confirm is working perfectly.
Installed Passenger with rvmsudo passenger-install-apache2-module.
Added the following to my httpd.conf.
.
LoadModule passenger_module /home/vagrant/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/gems/passenger-4.0.45/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
<IfModule module_passenger.c>
PassengerRoot /home/vagrant/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/gems/passenger-4.0.45
PassengerDefaultRuby /home/vagrant/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/wrappers/ruby
</IfModule>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/dangerzone/public
<Directory /var/www/html/dangerzone/public>
Allow from all
Options -MultiViews
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Finally, in /var/www/html, I executed rails new dangerzone to create the app.
Initially, trying to access my app gave me a Passenger error 'no JS runtime', which thrilled me because I'd spent 5 or so hours trying to get Passenger recognised at all. I installed Node-JS through Yum, and my current error is a 500, Internal server error.
I see nothing in /etc/httpd/logs/error_log.
I've followed the instructions on the RVM and Passenger websites to a letter. I've Googled this problem until I'd read the entire top 30 results. I've wiped the VM and started from scratch in case I did something wrong -- same problem. So I'm kind of baffled. Have I screwed up something really obvious?

Need advice on deploying my first rails app to a mediatemple (dv)

I'm trying to deploy my first rails app on a mediatemple (dv) and i'm not having any luck.
I'm trying to use phusion passenger so i went over to http://www.modrails.com/videos/passenger.mov and watched the tutorial on installing this. I did everything with no issues and I'm when i point to my ip, i see an apache page and not my rails app.
I noticed that on mediatemple, I had to create a vhosts.conf file and run a command to reconfigure my project to look at this vhosts.conf file. Reference - http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/1621/Why+is+my+vhost+file+not+being+used+by+Apache%3F#dv_40 For the last step I did /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-domain xxx.xx.xx.xx instead of reconfigure all.
Here's what my vhosts.conf file looks like:
LoadModule passenger_module
/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p125/gems/passenger-3.0.11/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p125/gems/passenger-3.0.11
PassengerRuby /usr/local/rvm/wrappers/ruby-1.9.3-p125/ruby
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName xxx.xx.xx.xx
DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/myProject/httpdocs # <-- be sure to point
to 'public'!
<Directory /var/www/vhosts/myProject/httpdocs>
AllowOverride all # <-- relax Apache security settings
Options -MultiViews # <-- MultiViews must be turned off
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Anybody have any luck deploying a rails app on a mt (dv) that can shed some advice to a rails noob?
I've just go this done on my dv server so here is a quick walk through. I will assume that you are working with Ruby 1.9.3 and Rails 3.2, and running all of the commands below as root.
You also have the latest version of rake and passenger install on your server. If not, try:
gem update --system
gem install rake
gem install passenger
Next step is to login to your MediaTemple admin panel. Click on the Admin button (not the Plesk one) for the domain you are interested and choose "Root Access and Developer Tools" option. Install the developer tools (this will take about 10mins).
Once that's done, ssh into your server and do the following:
passenger-install-apache2-module
There is a pretty good guided installation so I won't go into details here. You may need to install some additional dependencies here via yum so check the output of this script carefully.
Once that's out of the way, go and edit your httpd.conf file. This is saved under /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. You will want to add the following lines to the end of it (please note the paths may vary as I am using rvm to manage my ruby installations and gemsets).
# Passenger Module for Apache (For Rails apps)
LoadModule passenger_module /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p125#rails32/gems/passenger-3.0.11/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p125#rails32/gems/passenger-3.0.11
PassengerRuby /usr/local/rvm/wrappers/ruby-1.9.3-p125#rails32/ruby
PassengerDefaultUser root
At this point you should be ready to create a new rails app so remove everything from your httpdocs folder and issue the following command while logged in as the domain user (not root!)
rails new /path/to/httpdocs
Edit your vhost.conf file (or create a new one) in /var/www/vhosts/www.domain.com/conf (you will need to do this as root).
ServerName domainname.com
ServerAlias domainname.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/domainname.com/httpdocs/public
<Directory "/var/www/vhosts/domainname.com/httpdocs/public">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
RailsEnv development
RailsBaseURI /
And finally, issue
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-domain xxx.xx.xx.xx
And restart apache
/usr/sbin/apachectl -k restart
That should be it!

Rails Passenger problem with Apache2

I'm trying to setup a ruby on rails server on ubuntu10.10 with apache2 and mod_rails (Phusion Passenger).
I already installed ruby 1.9.2-p0 and rails 3.0.8 and installed Passenger with the passenger-install-apache2-module and the passenger gem (v3.0.7).
It then tells me to add 3 lines to my Apache config file. So I added these lines to '/etc/apache2/apache2.conf':
LoadModule passenger_module /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-3.0.7/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /usr/local/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-3.0.7
PassengerRuby /usr/local/bin/ruby
And I edited my '/etc/apache2/httpd.conf' and added:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName 192.168.0.2
DocumentRoot /var/www/webop/public
<Directory /var/www/webop/public>
Allow from all
Options -MultiViews
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I also found out that the file mod_passenger.so in /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-3.0.7/ext/apache2/ actually does not exist, its name is mod_passenger.c. But I don't get any errors from that.
The server should only be accessible through a LAN. When I access the server I see all the files and directories in the public folder of my app but the app itself does not get started.
When I restart apache it tells me that mod_rails is already loaded so I guess that passenger is running but I can't figure out why it doesn't start my app!
Thanks in advance!
The reason mod_passenger.so does not exist is because you haven't installed the Apache module. Execute:
passenger-install-apache2-module
This will create the mod_passenger.so file inside your gem directory, and give you three lines to copy into your apache2.conf file.
The passenger module is installed in your current gemset so you shouldn't get any conflicts between projects. You can use any compatible version of Ruby, and any gemset you like, via RVM, and possibly also RBENV. This makes for a nice easy upgrade path from one version of Ruby to the next.
I finally figured out what the problem was: I messed up my ruby installation.
In /usr/local/ I had ruby1.9.2-p0 installed (which was the version I wanted to use) but in /usr/ i had ruby1.8.7 installed.
Passenger was confused which ruby version to use so I changed the LoadModule, PassengerRoot and PassengerRuby paths within apache2/mods-enabled/passenger.load and .config to the correct paths and it finally worked! Both files were created automatically which also caused the problem of a redefinition: On apache startup there was a warning 'mod_passenger already loaded'. So I removed
LoadModule passenger_module /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-3.0.7/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /usr/local/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-3.0.7
PassengerRuby /usr/local/bin/ruby
from the apache config and the warning disappeared!
Probably this will help someone else some day!
I have come across a cleaner solution today. This might help future users. The command -
passenger-install-apache2-module
tells me to put these three lines in apache configuration file.
LoadModule passenger_module /home/anwar/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.0/gems/passenger-4.0.59/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
<IfModule mod_passenger.c>
PassengerRoot /home/anwar/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.0/gems/passenger-4.0.59
PassengerDefaultRuby /home/anwar/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.0/wrappers/ruby
</IfModule>
But, where is that configuration file? The answer is the configuration files are seperated into many pieces and they reside in /etc/apache2/mods-available.
So you should do three things -
Create a file ending with .load in /etc/apache2/mods-available folder. I used passenger.load.
Paste the three lines in that file and save the file.
Now in terminal use sudo a2enmod <module-conf-filename> to enable the module. In my case, the file was, passenger.load. So, I used
sudo a2enmod passenger
Now, restart the server and use the command apache2ctl -M to find that passenger module is enabled.
I think they want you to put those three lines in your httpd.conf file, not in your apache2.conf. At least that's how I've always done it.

Can't get passenger to serve pages (steps I used inside)

I have been struggling to get passenger to run my Rails/Rack apps.
Steps I used (as root):
Clean Debian 6 installation
aptitude install apache2, (Ruby
requirements taken from RVM),
git-core, curl, (and some more
packages too I guess)
getting rvm installed (system wide)
installing ruby 1.9.2-p180, and
setting it to be used as default
installing passenger gem, and
running the apache2 module
installation (getting apache2
prequisites along the way)
creating
/etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.load
and placing:
LoadModule
passenger_module ... (the one
printed after apache2 passenger
module got installed)
creating
/etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.conf
and placing:
PassengerRuby ...
PassengerRoot ... (the ones printed after apache2
passenger module got installed)
ap2enmod passenger (and getting apache restarted afterwards)
mkdir /var/www
setting /var/www to be user: root, group: www-data
creating /var/www/testapp and copying my rails app there
creating /etc/apache2/sites-available/testapp and placing in there:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost/testapp
DocumentRoot /var/www/testapp/public
<Directory /var/www/testapp/public>
AllowOverride all
Options -MultiViews
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
ap2ensite testapp
bundle install from within /var/www/testapp
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
After opening in the browser: localhost/testapp I can only see my rails app structure (it didnt fire the page)
I don't know what I have done wrong. It seems to be pretty much okay. I am concerned about file permissions, groups and so on, although I have no clue how should I set these up. How should permissions be structured? Apart from that, anything else that looks suspicious?
Thanks!
ServerName can't have slashes in it. Just make ServerName localhost, and go to http://localhost to visit your site.
If you need multiple websites deployed on localhost, you can do that, but you need to follow the extra steps here:

rails site showing index of / page

My Rails site used to work, but after starting over after doing an OS upgrade, it is now showing only the index of / with the contents of the rails app's public directory.
My PHP site is working fine, so this must be a configuration issue. I have looked at this problem for a long time, so I'm at a loss here. I really appreciate your help.
I followed the instructions on http://library.linode.com/frameworks/ruby-on-rails-apache/ubuntu-10.04-lucid as before.
I have the following setup in /etc/apache2/sites-availabe/mydomain.com:
<VirtualHost ip:80>
ServerName mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /srv/www/mydomain.com/app/public/
ServerAlias www.mydomain.com
ErrorLog /srv/www/mydomain.com/log/error.log
CustomLog /srv/www/mydomain.com/log/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
My app is under /srv/www/mydomain.com/app/.
What is wrong here? This used to work before migration.
The app is on ubuntu 10.4.
I had many troubles starting out with vHosts.
This little quick guide may help.
$ gem install passenger
$ passenger-install-apache2-module
Follow the screen instructions.
Edit your current vHost configuration.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mydomain.com
ServerAlias www.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot "/srv/www/mydomain.com/app/public/"
<Directory "/srv/www/mydomain.com/app/public/">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Restart your Apache server.
$ sudo apache graceful
Add the following to the end of your /etc/hosts file in your favorite editor.
127.0.0.1 mydomain.com www.mydomain.com
Test your domain.
$ ping mydomain.com
You should see something like
PING mydomain.com (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.035 ms
Now you should be able to go into your favorite browser and navigate to mydomain.com and see your application instance.
For future readers, I found the answer here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RubyOnRails#Installing%20rails
I had passenger gem installed.
What was missing was:
sudo apt-get install apache2-dev libapr1-dev libaprutil1-dev
Enable the passenger simply by typing:
a2enmod passenger
Then restart apache. Voila!
By the sounds of it you need to install Phusion Passenger?
If you need any help check out Dan Benjamin's guide.
When you upgraded the OS, you also upgraded Apache. If you were using Passenger, you probably installed it by having it compiled it manually, so that got lost in the process of the upgrade. You may need to re-run through the installation of Passenger again.
