get 404 with passenger and rails - ruby-on-rails-3

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
ServerAdmin webmaster#www.mydomain.de
DocumentRoot /home/www/jens_blog/public
LoadModule passenger_module /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-3.0.7/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so

CustomLog /home/log/access_log mesos2

Allow from all
Options -MultiViews
Options FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
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/

Xampp apache virtualhost

I have two "htdocs" folder for two websites. I named the folders "website1" and "website2".
As you can see, both folders are inside C:/xampp.
When I type "website1.com" on my browser, I want xampp to serve the files on folder "website1" and its subfolders/subfiles as needed.
When I type "website2.com" on my browser, I want xampp to serve the files on folder "website2" and its subfolders/subfiles as needed.
For simplicity, let's say the landing page is index.php (think of sign-in page). This is the page called when I type "website1.com" or "website2.com".
Then after I hit submit button on index.php, it will call main.php.
I edited two files.
For hosts file, I add the host name that I wanted to be resolved into my localhost. Since I want to serve both website1 and website2 on my local computer via xampp, I added the following lines on hosts file located on C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc
127.0.0.1 website1.com
127.0.0.1 website2.com
I also edited the apache config file which is httpd.conf
I added the following after the line: Listen localhost:80
<VirtualHost website1.com:80>
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\website1"
ServerName website1.com
<Directory "C:\xampp\website1">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost website2.com:80>
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\website2"
ServerName website2.com
<Directory "C:\xampp\website2">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
The current behavior with these configs is that:
Typing "website1.com" or "website2.com" directs me/loads the page properly. For simplicity, the index.php of website1 has just different text compared to website2.
The problem is, once I hit submit button and it tries to load main.php (DIFFERENT folder locations depending if website1 or website2 but SAME file name), I get the following error:
Any help would be appreciated. I am new to web development.
I am also new to this topic (virtual hosts). I happen to search for this because I am getting tired of renaming my htdocs folder. RIght now, when I want to test website1, I rename website1 folder to htdocs. I am thinking that if what I am trying is possible, it may save me time in the long run.

Ruby on Rails on Google Cloud Engine

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 :)

Rails: Vhost config for Apache and Passenger

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.
AllowOverride all
# MultiViews must be turned off.
Options -MultiViews
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
my-ruby-app
#Based on Apache section of Passenger documents
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.my-ruby-app-host.com
# !!! Be sure to point DocumentRoot to 'public'!
DocumentRoot /var/www/
<Directory /var/www/>
Allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /my-ruby-app /var/www/my-ruby-app/public
<Location /my-ruby-app>
PassengerBaseURI /my-ruby-app
PassengerAppRoot /var/www/my-ruby-app
</Location>
<Directory /var/www/my-ruby-app/public>
# This relaxes Apache security settings.
AllowOverride all
# MultiViews must be turned off.
Options -MultiViews
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
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 ;-) )

redmine and mod_vhost_dbd

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

Magento not accessible since tried to move to multi website setup. Apache issue?

I wish I had never seen this article:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/tutorial-multi-site-multi-domain-setup
I have Apache 2.2 installed on my XP machine and until a while ago I had a Magento site that I could test the development of a custom module on. I decided that I wanted to have multiple websites and multiple stores so that I could test that my modules configuration variables set at the different scopes (global, website, and store) were working as expected.
So I followed the instructions in the above Magento article. I created a website and gave it a name of “paulsplace.com”. I created a couple of Stores under that website. I then went to System/Configuration/General/Web and, with the scope set to paulsplace.com, I set the unsecured and secured URLs to http://paulsplace.com/ and https://paulsplace.com/ and hit Save Config - what a mistake!!
I got a 404 error. And now I can’t get to my magento front end or back end.
I tried a couple of things:
I added these lines to my hosts lookup file:
127.0.0.1 paulsplace.com
127.0.0.1 www.paulsplace.com
I then uncommented this line in my httpd,conf file:
Include conf/extra/httpd-hosts.conf
and added the following to the conf/extra/httpd-hosts.conf file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin me#myemail.com
DocumentRoot "C:/Applications/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"
ServerName paulsplace.com
ErrorLog "logs/paulsplace.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/paulsplace.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
and restarted Apache.
If I browse to “http://www.paulsplace.com” I now get a page that just says “It works!”. Same for “http://paulsplace.com” and “http://www.paulsplace.com/magento/index.php”.
I tried a few more things - I added this line to httpd.conf:
AccessFileName htaccess
(I did this because Windows Explorer didn’t let me create a file starting with a dot; I could do it from the command prompt, but I believe what I have done should be ok).
I changed AllowOverride to All from None:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
<Directory "C:/Applications/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs">
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
and in C:\Applications\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\htaccess (a file that I created), I entered:
SetEnvIf Host www\.paulsplace\.com MAGE_RUN_CODE=pws1
SetEnvIf Host www\.paulsplace\.com MAGE_RUN_TYPE=website
SetEnvIf Host ^paulsplace\.com MAGE_RUN_CODE=pws1
SetEnvIf Host ^paulsplace\.com MAGE_RUN_TYPE=website
(pws was the value I used for the “Code” when creating my store).
Please tell me how I can put this right. I feel like I’m taking one step forward and three backward at the moment.
Any help really would be greatly appreciated.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin me#myemail.com
DocumentRoot "Change this to point at your magento install"
ServerName paulsplace.com
ErrorLog "logs/paulsplace.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/paulsplace.com-access.log" common
SetEnv MAGE_RUN_TYPE website
SetEnv MAGE_RUN_CODE pws1
</VirtualHost>
If changing anything in System Configuration borks your system, you can always clear out the bad values in the database directly, and clear your Magento cache. Do a
select * from core_config_data where value LIKE '%paulsplace.com%'
This will give you the two rows that were added when you clicked save. Remove the rows. Next, clear out all the files in
var/cache/*
to clear your cache. Then restore your Apache config to what it was before you started monkeying around. This should restore your site back to its previous state, and you can continue to experiment with things.
