Ok I thought I was close to getting passenger and Apache working. I notice that some gem files were not installed after navigating to the url to see if my rails app was working. Passanger error page let me know what gems were missing so I got them installed.
Now going to the URL I get a 500 Apache internal error page with no helpful info so I checked out the log file on the server and here is what I see.

anyone have any suggestions on what I should look at next. I have tried running bundler and also using rvm to install sqlite3 and I still have the same issue.
thanks again for any help
Did you checked the suggestion on the first line of the error log?
