Hey,

 I'm struggling with the post installation of Concerto2. 

 On a fresh Ubuntu install I ran concerto-full successfully. I get stuck at the vhost. I just use the server's IP, I don't use domain names. I also need to remotely access the concerto2 server, not running on the server's browser. (On my Raspberry Pi I am running concerto 1.9.3. quite successfully like that).

 I tried setting an alias /concerto to the /usr/share/concerto/public/ directory. This means if I specify a file I can access it, but if I just put in "IP Address/concerto" I get forbidden message. How do I get to the admin page?

 If I need to configure the vhost I would ask for some help how to configure it so I can browser to "IP Address/concerto" from a remote machine on the same network.

Cheers
T.

Not sure if this is still a problem, but the instructions currently at https://github.com/concerto/concerto/wiki/Installing-Concerto-2 worked perfectly, with the exception that the apt install names the sites-available configuration file "concerto.conf". The instructions call for using a2ensite (which adds the available concerto site to the active sites): 

Either way, after installing concerto-full I figure you have to do something very much like:

sudo mv /etc/apache2/sites-available/concerto.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/concerto
sudo a2ensite concerto
sudo a2dissite 000-default
sudo apache2ctl restart (or sudo service apache2 restart)

After which the server (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server) I installed answered very nicely on the machine IP directly, ie http://8.8.8.8 or whatever you use for IP on your machine. 

Optionally, open the concerto.conf file in an editor, make any changes you want and save the changed text as a file there named just concerto.

We're currently looking into the issue of Apache config file naming (https://github.com/concerto/concerto-debian/issues/47). A recent Debian/Ubuntu update changed large portions of the configuration and now requires site configurations to end in .conf. This will doubtless cause problems in older (12.x) versions and we're working on how to deal with this incompatibility (https://github.com/concerto/concerto-debian/issues/48).

It looks like neither the Passenger gem nor Concerto itself is installed. When installed from the Debian package, Concerto will be located in /usr/share/concerto (the warning says it's not there) and Passenger will be installed and you'll see it in `gem list` (the error indicates Passenger isn't installed either). It looks as if you're trying to use the Concerto Apache configuration without having installed Concerto or its dependencies.
