Using Ruby On Rails With Apache2 On Debian Etch

Hi,

I just followed the RoR with Apache2 on Debian tutorial to setup a rails based vhost on my existing Apache 2 server.
I followed the instructions to the letter and everything went fine until I tried to look at the site :/

I can see the "Welcome Aboard" page OK but when I click on the "About your application's environment" link I get the following error:

Code:

Routing Error

Recognition failed for "/rails/info/properties"

(screenshot attached)

The following is dumped in the /log/development.log file:

Code:

Any ideas on what might be going wrong?

Please compare your configuration with the one from the tutorial. Maybe you made a typo somewhere?

 

Originally I ran the tutorial and changed the directory because I keep all the virtualhosts on my server in /home/me/domains/somedomain.com
Then I went through it again, using the same directory as the tutorial, and got the same error. I spent a couple of hours checking, re-checking and googling error messages before I posted here

I think the version may have been the problem. I removed ruby with apt because Etch installs 1.1.6 and installed the latest version with RubyGems instead and now it seems to be OK. Now I get the following message:

Code:

For security purposes, this information is only available to local requests.

Once I get around to copying the site I'm working on from my computer to the server I'll post back here and let you know if that fixed it

 

Yep, all works fine now - installing a newer version of Ruby fixed it
