Redmine

Where do you set RailsEnv and RailsBaseURI?

HI, thanks for getting back.

I have now added these lines to my VirtualHost, inside the <Directory> tags;

RailsBaseURI /var/www/redmine-2.3/public
RailsEnv production

I restarted apache, but I still end up in doc root with default apache holding page showing. Is this the correct place for these please?

Oh, just to make sure: What version of rails do you use?
The option RackBaseURI is for rails 3, in rails 2 it was called RailsBaseURI.

According to this page you don't put it inside the directory tags...

My rails is 3.2.13.

I have moved RailsBaseURI and RailsEnv into the VirtualHost directive, outside the <Directory> tag. I have also tried RackBaseURI, same result - default Apache page.

Just to make sure: You restarted apache after changing the config, did you?
What's the actual filename of your configuration?
Does apachectl configtest return "Syntax OK"?
Do you LoadModule passenger_module... somewhere?
Something interesting in the apache logs?

I came across a similar problem. Have a look at:
root@yourserver:/etc/apache2/mods-available# cat passenger.load
LoadModule passenger_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_passenger.so

Does the library /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_passenger.so exist?

If not: search for it. I placed the full qualified path of mod_passenger.so into the passenger.load
LoadModule passenger_module /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-4.0.20/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so

Then also modified passenger.conf accordingly (I suppose a symlink would also have done the trick).

Don't give up

Cheers

Yeah, it depends on how you install passenger in the first place.

We're here to help you so stay calm and keep posting ;-)

So actually I have 4 copies of mod_passenger.so on the server, in these 4 locations.

• /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_passenger.so
• /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-4.0.14/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
• /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-4.0.20/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
• /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/gems/passenger-4.0.10/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so

It is loading in httpd.conf, like this;

LoadModule passenger_module /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/gems/passenger-4.0.10/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/gems/passenger-4.0.10
PassengerDefaultRuby /usr/local/rvm/wrappers/ruby-2.0.0-p247/ruby

I believe it is loading ok because if I try and also load it in my vhost, I get the message that it is already loaded and will be skipped.

I have even more copies of passenger.conf, 8 in all.

which ruby

/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p392/bin/ruby

could this be the problem? The module PassengerDefaultRuby is set to /usr/local/rvm/wrappers/ruby-2.0.0-p247/ruby

I don't know. Maybe have a look at:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6162196/setting-up-rails-app-on-apache-with-passenger-rails-doesnt-seem-to-load

From there I got the hint to try passenger-status, and I am getting:

root@myserver:~# passenger-status

root@myserver:~#

Maybe try passenger-status and post the result?

Just getting a directory listing seems a clear indicator that passenger is not loading or not processing your application.

Hope this helps.

passenger-status gave me this;
