I set up a new RoR project on MAC OS Leopard, created a repository, svn added the whole Rails project, committed, checked out at my site, set up a vhost (see below), and I cannot get to a new controller page I created (/mycontroller/index). I CAN get to the "Welcome Aboard" page. I have another Ruby install (Redmine project management software) running with Apache.
I get this:
Not Found
The requested URL /developer was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) mod_fastcgi/2.4.6 PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.3 with Suhosin-Patch mod_scgi/1.12 Server at colorubooks.chadjohnson.ath.cx Port 8080
Here is my vhost setting:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mysite.mydomain.ath.cx
ServerAdmin email#gmail.com
DocumentRoot /srv/www/mysite.mydomain.ath.cx/public
RailsEnv development
<Directory "/srv/www/mysite.mydomain.ath.cx/public">
Options Indexes ExecCGI FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AllowOverride all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
First:
In DocumentRoot you missed a /
change:
DocumentRoot /srv/www/mysite.mydomain.ath.cxpublic
to:
DocumentRoot /srv/www/mysite.mydomain.ath.cx/public
then you should be able to see static files in the /public directory (like the welcome aboard page)
Now I have a question for you... I presume that you want to use apache to deploy... Have you already installed and setup passenger (mod_rack) apache module?

enjoy!

I have been trying to install a rails app on a box that originally was used for multiple php applications. I installed passenger and created a conf file but I am confused about how it all works together.
What should my ServerName be if i want to access a Rails app? The box is a debian squeeze running apache2 with passenger module installed. Below is my conf file. I currently have to go to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/leoadmin/public to get the application to run properly. I have the following htaccess in the public directory. Which I think is unnecessary if my conf file is configured correctly.
I think my main issue is the misconfiguration of the conf file. I believe the conf file is being loaded but i don't understand why i still need the htaccess for me to see any action.
.htaccess
#PassengerEnabled On
PassengerAppRoot /var/www/leoadmin/
#Options -MultiViews
#PassengerResolveSymlinksInDocumentRoot on
#Set this to whatever environment you'll be running in
RailsEnv production
#RackBaseURI /var/www/leoadmin
vhost config
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName leoadmin
DocumentRoot /var/www/leoadmin/public
<Directory /var/www/leoadmin/public>
Allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /leoadmin /var/www/leoadmin/public
<Location /leoadmin>
SetEnv RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT "/leoadmin"
PassengerAppRoot /var/www/leoadmin
</Location>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/leoadmin-error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/leoadmin-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
I had nothing but pain and more pain trying to get this sorted a few months back, my configuration allows me to do sub URIs, so I'm not sure if that's what you want, but it'll be along these lines. I've never needed a .htaccess file for this setup:
NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.test.co.uk
DocumentRoot /web/rails
<Directory /web/rails>
Allow from all
</Directory>
RailsBaseURI /test
RailsEnv development
<Directory /web/rails_projects/test/>
Options -MultiViews
</Directory>
For me /web/rails is a root directory, from there I have a number of symlinks to my /home/ directory where I store my projects. ServerName is whatever qualified name you're using for the machine that's going to be recognised.
(just in case, I'm running Passenger 3.0.9, and Rails 3.2.11)
The problem:
I have created a Rails project skeleton using rails new TestApp in the /var/www/ directory of my server. The Rails default index.html displays and works properly (i.e., you see the rails logo and when you click on "About your application's environment" you get a correct listing of the environment specifications used on the server) when I access the site from the same network on which the server is running. However, if I access the site from a machine on a different network than the server's, the page displays but I do not get the rails logo image, and clicking on "About your application's environment" results in the following error display on the page:
Not Found
The requested URL /TestApp/rails/info/properties was not found on this server
And that URL shouldn't be found, because it doesn't exist. However, TestApp/public/rails/info/properties does exist.
Configuration:
The site resides in /var/www/TestApp and I access it from a Sub-URI. I have created a symbolic link in /var/www/ called rails as follows: rails -> /var/www/TestApp/public, such that the project can be accessed from www.mydomain.com/rails. My Apache configuration is the following, note that I've omitted,changed, or shortened some parts within the <VirtualHost> tag for brevity:
LoadModule passenger_module /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/gems/passenger-3.0.12/ex$
PassengerRoot /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/gems/passenger-3.0.12
PassengerRuby /usr/local/rvm/wrappers/ruby-1.9.3-p194/ruby
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
ServerName www.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
.

#Rails Configuration
RailsBaseURI /rails
RailsEnv development
PassengerUserSwitching off
PassengerDefaultUser www-data
<Directory /TestApp/public>
Options FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Allow from all
</Directory>
#End Rails Configuration
.
.
.
</VirtualHost>
A couple of things: the appropriate folders are owned by www-data with the appropriate permissions as defined by the Passenger documentation. When setting up the symlink and RailsBaseURI settings I followed the Passenger documentation.
I guess I'm at a loss here since everything seems to be working when accessing the website from the same network on which the server resides. I'm not sure why things aren't working out when accessing the site from a different network, but I feel like paths to certain resources/assets (like the rails logo) aren't resolving properly. Perhaps my symlink is configured inappropriately, or something is wrong with my Apache configuration?
Any help would be appreciated.
The issue of a somewhat broken default Rails page is not totally abnormal, it turns out.
I removed the default Rails page and replaced with another page that included some Rails code and everything worked like a charm.
Trying to get my server to serve my rails apps.
I have a test app installed, apache2 and passenger have been installed have I have added the following to the apache2.conf
# Include the virtual host configurations:
Include sites-enabled/
NameVirtualHost localhost:80
<VirtualHost localhost:80>
ServerName 192.168.1.67
DocumentRoot /home/john/Public/test-app
</VirtualHost>
Clearly, I am misunstanding something, because I think that should redirect calls to my local IP to my rails app. It is not. It is going to the default apache index.html.
What am I doing wrong?
UPDATED answer:
I think you are missing the "Directory" node. try using this config code:
(assuming your project path is: /home/john/Public/test-app)
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /home/john/Public/test-app/public
RailsEnv development
<Directory /home/john/Public/test-app/public>
AllowOverride all
Options -MultiViews
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
This is how I usually do it:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mysubdomain.betamaster.us
DocumentRoot /var/www_home/mysubdomain/
</VirtualHost>
After applying these changes make sure to execute
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload
in order to reload the server configuration.
I had the same symptoms in this question but it was a different problem. My apache install already had a Virtual host enabled, so I had to disable it and enable my own with the commands
sudo a2dissite default
sudo a2ensite myapp
where default was the name of the Virtual Host file included by default in sites-avaliable/ and myapp is the file i added.
Hopefully this helps someone.
I am trying to deploy Redmine on my web server.
I have chose to use passenger to deploy the ruby app.
I have tested with the rake's demo app, but when I pointed my VitualHost to the red mine public folder I got this error:
Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/redmine/public/
Can anyone help?
Virtual host:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName redmine.myserver.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/redmine/public
ErrorLog /var/www/redmine/redmine-error-log
<Directory var/www/redmine/public>
AllowOverride all
Options -MultiViews
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
IMHO Passenger is missing some configuration in your example. Here is what I've in production :
<Directory /var/www/redmine>
RailsBaseURI /redmine
PassengerResolveSymlinksInDocumentRoot on
</Directory>
Where /var/www/redmine was created as a symbolic link :
sudo ln -s /usr/share/redmine/public /var/www/redmine
You might also ensure that the rights are properly set on your redmine folder (the root one).
I have solved this issue.
The problem was caused by SElinux.
I had to enable the permissive mode.
setenforce 0
Then I have configured the Redmine app and set the correct permissions to the folders again.
In the end I have disabled the permissive mode:
setenforce 1
I'm spinning my wheels... Apache is working and serving static html, png, etc. normally. Trying to get Passenger to serve a rails app out of www.mydomain.com/rails/
as it stands when i try to hit my app: www.mydomain.com/rails/myapp/railsclassname
I get only an Apache 403 Errors. Nothing in myapp's Production Log.
Apache2 access.log:
"GET /rails/ HTTP/1.1" 403 1085
Apache2 error.log:
[Fri Jun 11 22:44:01 2010] [error] [client 10.0.1.41] File does not exist: /Library/WebServer/wwwroot/rails/railsclassname
i've even tried www.mydomain.com/myapp/classname
Passenger, obviously, isn't routing requests made into my sub-folder rails/ to my rails app. not sure where i've screwed up. the most obvious thing is "Passenger doesn't seem to be running"... instructions I've followed just say to sudo apachectl graceful, which i've done (as well as stopped/started). new to this so go easy on me!
Here's some info that might be helpful. happy to provide more as needed...

This last bit from NameVirtualHost on is pieced together from a number of online material i've found...as i've been desperately trying to find something/anything that'll show Passenger at least has a pulse!?!
So, you've got
www.mydomain.com
www.mydomain.com/rails
These both point to different websites (lets call them main and rails), the code for each site might be saved on the file system like so:
/Library/WebServer/main/
/Library/WebServer/rails/
We create a symlink from your rails app's public folder to a folder called rails in your main app:
ln -s /Library/WebServer/rails/public /Library/WebServer/main/rails
Then we create a VirtualHost for the main site (not the rails one, and I'm assuming the main site is not rails) and add the rails app as a sub URI, like so:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /Library/WebServer/main
<Directory /Library/WebServer/main>
Allow from all
</Directory>
RackBaseURI /rails
<Directory /Library/WebServer/main/rails>
Options -MultiViews
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
(If you already have a VirtualHost set up for your main website, you can add the RackBaseURI and preceding Directory declaration to that instead).
Now restart apache and you should be able to go to:
www.mydomain.com/rails
and see the "Welcome to Rails" page, or:
www.mydomain.com/rails/controllername
Hope that helps.
