I run a rails app at /home/vincent/Documents/vincentApp/ . The app
runs fine with WEBrick on localhost:3000. However, I am getting a
Forbidden error when accessing the app on Apache on port 80. I
suspect this is more of a problem with my Apache config than with
Rails or Passenger. The configs are below. Please help. Thanks.
I have Passenger installed.
The following is in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:
# Passenger
LoadModule passenger_module /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.8/ext/
apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.8

RE: Re: Forbidden error on rails app with Passenger and Apache
Hi all, It starts working for some reason after I use "git clone local" instead of "scp" to create the vincentApp directory. However, the directory git creates only gives write permission to root (must be a consequence of gitosis). I had to chmod a+w to the log and tmp folder before the app shows through Apache. Is there a better way than to chmod every time I deploy to production?

You should not need to use sudo, just git clone path/to/file.git provided you have access to the git file and permission to create the folder at the destination.
