No documentation of Apache's PassengerAppType node

[Stefan Eriksson]

When I try to use this option in my Apache2 vhost to force it to use node env it doesnt work. I get a directory tree which list all my files instead of processing them. If I remove the option:

<VirtualHost *:80>

  ServerName www.yourhost.com

  DocumentRoot /home/node/Ghost/static

  <Directory /home/node/Ghost/static>

        # This relaxes Apache security settings.

        AllowOverride all

        # MultiViews must be turned off.

        Options -MultiViews

  </Directory>

    PassengerEnabled on

#    PassengerAppType node

    PassengerStartupFile index.js

 CustomLog /home/node/logs/ghost-access_log combined

 PassengerDebugLogFile /home/node/logs/ghost-error_log

</VirtualHost>

the node app is processed correcly. but again when I enable  PassengerAppType node it stops working. and only displays:

Index of /

Name Last modified Size Description

The options used above 

    PassengerAppType node

    PassengerStartupFile index.js

seem to lack proper documentation? how are they supposed to work?

Hm I'll post this as a bug if it not something anyone can answer, I'm guessing it fits as a bug.

They are documented now:
http://www.modrails.com/documentation/Users%20guide%20Apache.html#PassengerStartupFile
http://www.modrails.com/documentation/Users%20guide%20Apache.html#PassengerAppType

If you set PassengerStartupFile, you *must* also set PassengerAppType,
otherwise Passenger doesn't know what kind of app it is and ignores
the directory. In your example above, you commented out
PassengerStartupFile.

Thanks for the answer but the thing is, it only works if I comment   PassengerAppType node out. If I remove # from above vhost it doesnt load passenger it goes to show all files in the dir.

Would be great to have an apache2 example alongside nginx here: https://github.com/phusion/passenger/wiki/Free-style-Node.js-structure

I cant get it to work with the above:

    PassengerEnabled on

    PassengerAppType node

    PassengerStartupFile index.js

Goes to:

Index of /

Name Last modified Size Description

So it seems broken :( Can you get a working example up?

The issue has been confirmed. I'll have this fixed. Let's move
discussion to https://github.com/phusion/passenger/issues/1196
