Passenger is a great option, and makes it really straightforward to stand up a
Rails site on an Apache server. If you've already installed it and added the
lines of code that the installer gave you to your master apache.conf file (the
ones that set the PASSENGER_RUBY environment variable), then you will only need
to:
1. Place the contents of your Rails app directory inside your public_html file,
so the top level item you can see is /public_html/app, and
2. Edit your virtual host's conf file so the root is
/path/to/public_html/public rather than /path/to/public_html. Note that you'll
have to change this on two different lines in a standard conf file.
Restart your server, and you're done.
Here's an example conf file for one of my ghosts:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin m...@example.com
ServerName railsapp.example.com
DocumentRoot /data/www/railsapp/public
<Directory /data/www/railsapp/public>
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
