Phusion Passenger

How to configure Apache with Phusion Passenger

Make sure you have the Phussion Passenger enabled. Check if the following line is uncommented in Apache config file /installdir/apache2/con/httpd.conf:

Include conf/bitnami/passenger.conf

Assuming you have your application running in /application location, substitute the content of the file /installdir/apps/application/conf/application.conf with the following:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  RailsBaseURI /application
  <Directory /installdir/apache2/htdocs/application>
    Options -MultiViews
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Then ssh to your machine and create a symbolic link:

sudo ln -s /installdir/apps/application/public /installdir/apache2/htdocs/application

(You should make sure that the 'public' and 'config' application folders and their parent directories are readable and executable by Apache).

Restart Apache server:

sudo /installdir/ctlscript.sh restart apache

  <Directory /installdir/apps/application/public/>
     Allow from all
     Options -MultiViews
