Ruby: Problem using passenger

when i first installed mod_ruby on my small debian and later on ( after determining it was not fast enough ) i needed to chagne to passenger for my apache

Now i have got the issue, the passenger is effectively loaded through the apache, however is not used, despite the fact that i set up everything properly, like:

<VirtualHost *>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        ServerName xyz
        DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/default/htdocs/
        RailsBaseURI /rails
</VirtualHost>

Instad from the the passenger the cgi - module can be used for exhibiting rails-applications... ( basically unload the cgi.conf and cgi-load in the "sites-enabled" folder, it isn't working any longer... however still it works basically unload the passenger.load and passenger.conf files... )

So, how do i pressure the apache to make use of the passenger to show rails sites?

ruby-on-rails apache passenger

Presuming you've passenger installed and set up properly with Apache ... Your DocumentRoot must point in the public directory of the rails application. Here is a working VirtualHost directive:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName myapp.local
  DocumentRoot "/path/to/myapp/public"
  RailsEnv development
  <directory "/path/to/myapp/public">
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </directory>
</VirtualHost>

In advance, also make certain that named virtual hosts are switched on:

NameVirtualHost *:80

And that you really possess the passenger model set up properly. For instance:

LoadModule passenger_module /path/to/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.5/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /path/to/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.5
PassengerRuby /path/to/bin/ruby

Have you reconfigure the relative_url_root inside your rails application? For instance, in config/environment.rb:

config.action_controller.relative_url_root = "/rails"
