Instantrails users - Nov 2005 - Redirect remains from cookbook app

Hi, I''m just getting started with Ruby on Rails, and InstantRails was
the
perfect solution for me to get up and running with Ruby on Rails fast.
However, I''ve run into a small problem: I''ve created a new
app, but whenever
I access it using an invalid URL or just the mysite.com/ (using a virtual
server) directory, apache tries to redirect me to the cookbook tutorial app.
I''ve removed the virtual server settings in httpd.conf, and set the
proper
path in .htaccess, but I still get redirected. What am I missing?

Regards

dapendragon.

Did you set the DocumentRoot & Directory directives in you new
app''s
VirtualHost section?

If you posted your VirtualHost section, it''ll be easier for us to help.

Thanks for responding. Here''s my VirtualHost section:

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName www.myapp.net
    # handle all requests through SCGI
    SCGIMount / 127.0.0.1:9999
    DocumentRoot ${path}/rails_apps/myapp/public
    <Directory ${path}/rails_apps/myapp/public>
        Options +FollowSymLinks
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>
    AddDefaultCharset utf-8
    ErrorDocument 500 ${path}/rails_apps/myapp/public/500.html
    ErrorDocument 404 ${path}/rails_apps/myapp/public/404.html
    # matches locations with a dot following at least one more characters,
    # that is, things like   *.html, *.css, *.js, which should be delivered
    # directly from the filesystem. Also matches the following
    # subdirectories: images, javascript(s), stylesheets
    <LocationMatch
^/(images|javascript|javascripts|stylesheets|[^/]+\.[^/]+$)>
        # don''t handle those with SCGI
        SCGIHandler Off
    </LocationMatch>
    <LocationMatch "^/$">
        # don''t handle just / with SCGI
        SCGIHandler Off
   </LocationMatch>
</VirtualHost>

Apache uses the very first VirtualHost in the config file as its default --
the one that it uses when it doesn''t have a matching host name. Try
putting
your app''s VirtualHost section first.
