Having updated Passenger and Ruby Enterprise Edition to the latest versions today, I am now seeing a directory listing instead of my Rails app. Here’s the Passenger part of my Apache config:
#LoadModule passenger_module /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20090201/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.1.3/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
#PassengerRoot /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20090201/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.1.3
#PassengerRuby /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20090201/bin/ruby
LoadModule passenger_module /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2010.01/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.11/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2010.01/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.11
PassengerRuby /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2010.01/bin/ruby
RailsEnv production
RackEnv production
PassengerMaxPoolSize 30
PassengerPoolIdleTime 600
PassengerMaxInstancesPerApp 10
PassengerUseGlobalQueue on
This config is definitely being loaded, the vhost is definitely pointing at the public directory of the app. The app itself works fine when run from the Rails console.
You’ll see in the config above that the old passenger settings are commented out. If I comment out the new Passenger lines and uncomment out the old ones (i.e. switch to the older version of passenger), the app works fine again.
Tried reinstalling passenger/REE, no difference. There are no relevant entries in the Apache error log or Rails log.
Any help appreciated!
I was able to solve this using:
PassengerResolveSymlinksInDocumentRoot
It seems that Passenger no longer handles public directories that are symlinks to your app elsewhere by default. Turning this option on fixed all the issues.
