tutorial Deploying a Ruby app on a Linux/Unix production server: index files only !?

[Dominique 31]

I've just followed the tutorial " Deploying a Ruby app on a Linux/Unix production server with Passenger in Apache mode on Debian 8 (with APT)"

Linux OrangePI 3.4.39 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Aug 30 14:14:50 CEST 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux
Apache/2.4.10 (Debian) Phusion_Passenger/4.0.53
ruby 2.1.5p273 (2014-11-13) [arm-linux-gnueabihf]

All the steps of the tutorial above have been performed.
And (for information) Rails "alone" seems working well. For example the "Getting Started with Rails" is ok (result http://localhost:3000 in the host linux displays the "welcome aboard" screen).

root@OrangePI:/var/www/myapp/code/public# cat /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/myapp.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName <my IP>

    # Tell Apache and Passenger where your app's 'public' directory is
    DocumentRoot /var/www/myapp/code/public

    PassengerRuby /usr/bin/ruby

    # Relax Apache security settings
    <Directory /var/www/myapp/code/public>
      Allow from all
      Options -MultiViews
      # Uncomment this if you're on Apache >= 2.4:
      Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Is there an idea please ? thank you !

This cannot be right, because in Phusion's Debian APT packages Passenger is at version 5.1.6. You probably didn't install Passenger from the Phusion repo.

You're right .Sorry, I'am novice about the packages management (apt-get, gem,...).
I've re-installed them and here is now my configuration:

Server version: Apache/2.4.10 (Debian)
Phusion Passenger 5.1.6
ruby 2.1.5p273 (2014-11-13) [arm-linux-gnueabihf]
node --version : v0.10.29
gem --version : 2.2.2
Bundler version 1.15.3
Rails 4.2.1

The "development mode"  explained in the  tutorial "Quickstart: Ruby + Phusion Passenger" works...the "deployment mode" explained here
seems not working in my envt.
 Is there a log file to check ?

[Daniel Knoppel]

Congrats on getting dev mode working :)

Yep, there is a logfile: https://www.phusionpassenger.com/library/admin/nginx/troubleshooting/ruby/

I pasted the link for Nginx, you can switch to Apache in the box on the left (integration mode)
