Apache2 + Passenger : any experts ? Some issues with different VirtualHosts on same server

Added by Wiki Bit at 2012-01-25 11:57 am

Hi,

moved chiliproject to a production server, however, there are 2 other ruby applications (Ruby/Sinatra) which need to run on that same server, so I'm looking at 2 choices :
- run those apps also with the combo Apache2/Passenger
or
- run those apps with thin, and proxy them using apache2
the idea is to run them as follows:

chiliproject : http://x.x.x.x/chili
app1 : http://x.x.x.x/ (so this would be the main app)
app2 : http://x.x.x.x/app2
all on port 80

the issue I'm having is with the virtualhost config

at this moment, I've following as "sites-enabled" :

#cat default

<VirtualHost *.80 *:8080 *:8083 *:8084 *:8085 *:8090 *:8888>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

    DocumentRoot /var/www
    <Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
    </Directory>
    <Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>

    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
    <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
        AllowOverride None
        Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
        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

    Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/" 
    <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

and

#cat chiliproject

# Specific config for chiliproject
# /var/www/chili is linked to /opt/chiliproject/public
   PassengerPoolIdleTime 0
   ServerName Chili
   DocumentRoot /var/www

   <Directory /var/www/chili>
    RailsBaseURI /chili
        PassengerResolveSymlinksInDocumentRoot on
    PassengerMinInstances 3
   </Directory>

   PassengerPreStart http://127.0.0.1/chili

this setup works now

BUT

the moment I change or add to chilliproject to this :

# Specific config for chiliproject
# /var/www/chili is linked to /opt/chiliproject/public
<VirtualHost *:80>
   PassengerPoolIdleTime 0
   ServerName Chili
   DocumentRoot /var/www

   <Directory /var/www/chili>
    RailsBaseURI /chili
        PassengerResolveSymlinksInDocumentRoot on
    PassengerMinInstances 3
   </Directory>

   PassengerPreStart http://127.0.0.1/chili
</VirtualHost>

I get a page not found for /chili

checking the logs, I can see the entry

[Wed Jan 25 12:54:16 2012] [error] [client x.x.x.x] File does not exist: /etc/apache2/htdocs

so somwhere the redirection gets messed up?
either I'm just looking over something stupid, or missing it, or forgetting a setting?
so I guess I need to resolve that, before adding the config for the other 2 apps I want to run
does anyone have an idea or experience with Apache2/Passenger for this?

thanks

WB
