Hi,
I followed the instructions for deploying a site with Passenger from
the screencast that is on the Phusion Passenger site and it didn''t
work. I am using Dreamhost to host my site- could the problem be on
their end? Someone suggested that I do:
passenger-install-apache2-module
on my command line but I already did that when I first installed
Passenger and the Passenger Pref pane and I don''t understand why you
would have to install the apache2 module again when you want to deploy
a site. Here are the steps I followed:
I added this to my configuration file underneath the Loadmodule text
(the same place Ryan Bates pasted it in the screencast):
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.blah.com
DocumentRoot /Sites/work/blah/public/
</VirtualHost>
Then I restarted apache:
sudo apachectl graceful
and when I go to my sites url I get a "Index of /" page. Should I
change the name of the server from www.blah.com to the name of my
Dreamhost private server?
I don''t know if this is relevant but I am using Mac OSX 10.5.7
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
Calvin
Oh- "blah.com" is just placeholder text for what my my servername really is not the actual blah.com site which i did not create and am not involved with.

Just throwing the obvious out there since you didn''t specify if you did it or not: The LoadModule, PassengerRoot, and PassengerRuby lines are in your apache conf file right? If not, that''s your problem.

Yes- the LoadModule, PassengerRoot and PassengerRuby lines are in my apache conf file.

What do your Apache logs say when you restart the server? You should see a line similar to: [notice] Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.7l DAV/2 Phusion_Passenger/2.2.2 configured -- resuming normal operations -Matt On Jun 10, 4:33 am, Calvin <cstephe...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Yes- the LoadModule, PassengerRoot and PassengerRuby lines are in my > apache conf file. > > On Jun 9, 7:39 pm, John Yerhot <joyer...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > > > Just throwing the obvious out there since you didn''t specify if you > > did it or not: > > > The LoadModule, PassengerRoot, and PassengerRuby lines are in your > > apache conf file right?

It turns out that the instructions for deploying a site with passenger are different for Dreamhost. You have to enable Passenger in a domain management panel and then FTP your application. However, Dreamhost admits that their process of deploying and starting up a Rails application does not fully work... I get a Passenger error message when I go to my site''s url: www.pwrpop.com and I don''t know what steps to take to fix the problem.
