I deployed a Ruby stack on GCE with Passenger. It was the default click-to-deploy option.
Now to serve my app I placed it in /var/www/app-name/
I edited the virtual host file for the same with this
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName app-name
DocumentRoot /var/www/app-name/public
<Directory /var/www/app-name/public>
Allow from all
Options -MultiViews
# Uncomment this if you're on Apache >= 2.4:
#Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I have edited the host file too to include the IP of the project
Apache still can't serve the Rails app. What am i doing wrong? I am new at cloud hosting and Rails and there is no proper documentation for this to follow.
Any kind of help appreciated :)

I've installed vanilla at Ubuntu server with public-ip by the steps at https://www.vultr.com/docs/how-to-install-vanilla-forum-on-ubuntu-16-04
Then config /etc/apache2/sites-available/forum.example.com.conf as below
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName forum.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/vanilla
<Directory /var/www/vanilla>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Then I can access http://public-ip at browser, but the result is Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page.
How can I access the installed vanilla at the browser? Should I make any change to the forum.example.com.conf?
If the request doesn't match a virtual host, Apache will serve files from the top level (not inside a <VirtualHost> block) DocumentRoot config value.
#
# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
I don't know Ubuntu well but I'd guess this is in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf. You can change this to /var/www/vanilla to serve your forum instead of the default page.
Alternatively you could rename / delete the existing /var/www/html and make it a symlink to /var/www/vanilla: then Apache would pick up the forum files without any config change.
Or if you just want to set up access for yourself then you can add the DNS name to your hosts file (/etc/hosts on Linux, \Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts on Windows)
forum.example.com AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD
and then you can use forum.example.com in your browser as normal, which will send the 'Host' header so Apache will match the virtual host, even though this isn't configured as public DNS.
I want that every *.dev Host will be routed to my vagrant machine to /var/www/vhosts/*.dev/public, for example my local development environment project1.dev is located in /var/www/vhosts/project1.dev/public
So when I add a new (sub)project into my box, I do not need to change my config.yaml (Vagrant installed via puphpet.com) and reload the machine.
On my computer, I added the following to the hosts file in /private/etc:
192.168.56.101 *.dev
On my VM, I changed my 10-default_vhosts80.conf in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled to:
# ************************************
# Vhost template in module puppetlabs-apache
# Managed by Puppet
# ************************************
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName default
## Vhost docroot
DocumentRoot "/var/www/default"
## Directories, there should at least be a declaration for /var/www/default
<Directory "/var/www/default">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
## Load additional static includes
## Logging
ErrorLog "/var/log/apache2/default_vhost_80_error.log"
ServerSignature Off
CustomLog "/var/log/apache2/default_vhost_80_access.log" combined
## Custom fragment
ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/var/www/default/$1
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *.dev:80>
ServerName dev
VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/%0
</VirtualHost>
Unfortunately, this doesn't work. Any ideas? I am a beginner in this subject.
I use a proxy auto configuration file. This works on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Easy, flexible and no additional software required. The following example routes all *.dev traffic to your vagrant box:
function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
if (dnsDomainIs(host, ".dev")) {
return "PROXY 127.0.0.1:8080";
}
return 'DIRECT';
}
When needed, replace 127.0.0.1:8080 with the IP and webserver port of your vagrant box. Store this file somewhere. You can store it locally or let the webserver on your Vagrant-box host the file.
Windows: See here how to use the PAC file on Windows.
MacOS: See here how to use the PAC file on MacOS. You can link to the file using file:///Users/username/path/to/proxy.pac.
Linux: For linux it depends, but I'm sure linux users will be able to Google for their specific situation.
Unfortunately hosts files do not support using wildcards. You have to manually define each and every host to redirect.
Also, your hosts file is at /etc/hosts
In the end, I use dnsmasq to route all .localdev Domains to 127.0.0.1. Note that I am using .localdev instead of just .dev or .local as this seems to cause problem (OS X 10.10) because .dev is a proposed gTLD and .local is used by Apple's Bonjour.
Then I configured Apache by creating and enabling this site:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAlias localhost *.localdev #wildcard catch all
VirtualDocumentRoot /hosts/%1/public
UseCanonicalName Off
<Directory "hosts">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I'm trying to get a simple Rails 4 app deployed on my server which already has Apache2 and is hosting several other sites and services (ie there are several vhost configs under sites-enabled). I've had some problems doing this on my local machine as well as my test server so I'm trying first to get it working on an AWS t1.micro instance with only one vhost config. I've written a script to do most of the heavy lifting for me which is on my github at rails-apache-passenger.
I have two vhost config files in the repo and have tried to get one or the other working. The script just copies over and enables one at a time.
Using the my-ruby-app-basic or the my-ruby-app vhost config I navigate to http://54.xxx.xxx.xxx/my-ruby-app/ but all I see is "The page you were looking for doesn't exist. You may have mistyped the address or the page may have moved." When I go to ttp://54.xxx.xxx.xxx/ I just get the default apache2 page ("It works!").
My /var/www/my-ruby-app/log/production.log shows
I, [2014-01-24T10:47:36.900542 #9612] INFO -- : Started GET "/my-ruby-app" for 80.81.17.94 at 2014-01-24 10:47:36 +0000
F, [2014-01-24T10:47:36.902169 #9612] FATAL -- :
ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/my-ruby-app"):
So clearly I need to modify my routes.rb file, but what am I supposed to change? As you can see from the script in the git repo, it's just the default routes.rb from rails new. I just want to see the default rails app landing page at this point so I'm not sure what to do to the routes.rb file.
Here are the vhost configs
my-ruby-app-basic
#This is the config suggested by the passenger module after it finishes compiling, modified for 'my-ruby-app'
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.my-ruby-app-host.com
# !!! Be sure to point DocumentRoot to 'public'!
DocumentRoot /var/www/my-ruby-app/public
<Directory /var/www/my-ruby-app/public>
# This relaxes Apache security settings.

# MultiViews must be turned off.

Using Apache and Passenger is a short term solution but I want to know how to do it in any case (The long term view is that I want to maintain compatibility with Jruby and just run our app through Tomcat or Glassfish, which will no doubt be another Apache config debacle ;-) )
I've problem to run redmine with vhost_dbd_module from apache. Redmine was installed under /var/www/redmine/ directory. My apache config look:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName HOSTNAME
DocumentRoot "/var/www/" # THIS IS NOT WORKING
# DocumentRoot "/var/www/redmine/public" # THIS WORKS WITH REDMINE
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks -MultiViews -Indexes
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
DBDriver mysql
DBDParams host=localhost,user=test,pass=test,dbname=test
DBDocRoot "SELECT document_root FROM vhosts WHERE server_name = %s" HOSTNAME
</VirtualHost>
Field document_root from database return '/var/www/redmain/public' - so it should works. It works for php projects where index file is under '/var/www/project/public'. Besides the page return 404 because in /var/www/redmain/public there is no index file. I want universal config
Any suggestions?
Best regards, Peter
Not havng a index.html is ok :) Check your config/routes.rb.
If rails service is running then your redmine rails check your routes.rb and deliver the default page there (view).
Passenger as an apache module is not compatible with about all modules used to define "dynamic" document roots (including mod_vhost_dbd). For passenger, you have to statically configure your apps in the Apache configuration.
Generally, you will have a hard time emulating your PHP setup with any Ruby app server, as they expect to be started once and run continuously, unlike PHP "apps" which act as scripts resolved and started new for each request. You should rethink your setup for persistent application server processes.
I created .htaccess with content below and it working :)
RailsBaseURI /
PassengerAppRoot /var/www/redmine
I'm trying to run a rails app on a shared hoster.
I create the app in the directory /home/rails_projects/jens_blog and the document root is /home/www/jens_blog.
In the /home/www/jens_blog dir is a symlink public -> /home/rails_projects/jens_blog/public/
I created a scaffold posts. But when i run the mydomain/ or mydomain/posts in the browser I get always an 404 error.
File does not exist: /home/www/jens_blog/public/posts
<VirtualHost ip.port>
ServerName www.mydomain.de

DocumentRoot /home/www/jens_blog/public

if I put a index.php file into the /home/rails_projects/jens_blog/public/ dir the file content will be show.
Can anybody help me?? I am desperated.
I have only a shared web hosting.
Update: I added "PassengerResolveSymlinksInDocumentRoot on" to the apache config. But now I get Exception LoadError in PhusionPassenger::Rack::ApplicationSpawner (no such file to load -- bundler)
:-((

My question was quite similar to yours Deployed rails site on ec2 using capistrano, but it doesn't show up on the browser, here is the site -> http://passionate4.net/
I would say place your site in this directory /var/www/myapp/public.
Use these settings.
ServerName www.passionate4.net
DocumentRoot /var/www/capi_app/current/public
RailsEnv production
Allow from all
Options -MultiViews
I have written couple of blogs on how to successfully deploy the site on Ubuntu. I believe you problem is quite similar to mine. http://recipe4developer.wordpress.com/
