操作系统“Snow Leopard”问题的Mac上的Ruby on Rails和Phusion Passenger

Question

I'm trying to deploy my application using Ruby on Rails and Phusion Passenger on my Mac with OS "Snow Leopard" v10.6.5. I read lots of guides on the Internet and I got a headache!

What I did is :

1 . I installed Passenger as described here .

2 . I edited the '/private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf' file adding these code lines:

LoadModule passenger_module /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/passenger-3.0.2/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/passenger-3.0.2
PassengerRuby /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby

3 . I restarted apache from the "System Preferences" Panel

Info: at this time if I go to 'http://localhost/' in the browser, I get the common page index.html from 'User/< my_user_name >/Sites/' folder. It seems all work.

4 . I copied the folder of my RoR application (< my_ror_application_name> folder within app directory, config directory, config.ru file, ...) in 'User/< my_user_name >/Sites/'

5 . I edited the '/private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf' file adding these code lines:

   < VirtualHost *:80 >

      ServerName < my_ror_application_name> .com
      DocumentRoot /Library/WebServer/< my_ror_application_name>/public   

   < / VirtualHost >

6 . I restarted apache from the "System Preferences" Panel

Now if I go to 'http://localhost/' in the browser, I get the "Impossible to find localhost" alert.

I think there is something wrong with the Document root with the step 5 or, maybe, in the public folder of my application...

In my RoR application, the public directory have these files and directories:

• 404.html
• 422.html
• 500.html
• robot.txt
• images directory
• javascripts directory
• stylesheets directory

What's wrong?!

You may want to take a look to passenger pane . For me it works like a charm :)
