Question

Trying to get my server to serve my rails apps.

I have a test app installed, apache2 and passenger have been installed have I have added the following to the apache2.conf

# Include the virtual host configurations:
Include sites-enabled/
NameVirtualHost localhost:80
<VirtualHost localhost:80>
      ServerName 192.168.1.67
      DocumentRoot /home/john/Public/test-app
</VirtualHost>

Clearly, I am misunstanding something, because I think that should redirect calls to my local IP to my rails app. It is not. It is going to the default apache index.html.

What am I doing wrong?

UPDATED answer:
I think you are missing the “Directory” node. try using this config code:

(assuming your project path is: /home/john/Public/test-app)

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /home/john/Public/test-app/public
    RailsEnv development
    <Directory /home/john/Public/test-app/public>
    AllowOverride all 
    Options -MultiViews
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
