Yesterday, I bought a server on Linode. I setup Apache, RVM, Rails, MySQL and have got a single rails app hosted on a domain, following a nice guide from http://library.linode.com/frameworks/ruby-on-rails-apache/ubuntu-10.04-lucid. It also explains how to put multiple rails apps on the same domain, however when I try, I get an error when I access my domain our-portal.com/adm : 

No such file or directory - config/environment.rb

Application root: /srv/www/our-portal.com/public_html

Somethings wrong here… anyone have any ideas? I am able to host a single app just fine, but not multiple… Here is my Virtual Host settings

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerAdmin webmaster@our-portal.com
   ServerName  our-portal.com
   ServerAlias www.our-portal.com
   DocumentRoot /srv/www/our-portal.com/public_html/
   RailsBaseURI /adm
   RailsBaseURI /matrix
   ErrorLog  /srv/www/our-portal.com/logs/error.log
   CustomLog /srv/www/our-portal.com/logs/access.log combined
 </VirtualHost>

My applications path is in /srv/www/our-portal.com/adm/ and I linked using

ln -s /srv/www/our-portal.com/adm/public/ /srv/www/our-portal.com/public_html/adm/
ln -s /srv/www/our-portal.com/matrix/public/ /srv/www/our-portal.com/public_html/matrix/

    I got it working, these are the changes I made.

     <VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerAdmin webmaster@our-portal.com
   ServerName  our-portal.com
   ServerAlias www.our-portal.com
   DocumentRoot /srv/www/our-portal.com/public_html
   <Directory /srv/www/our-portal.com/public_html>
         Allow from all
   </Directory>

   RailsBaseURI /adm
   RailsBaseURI /matrix
   <Directory /srv/www/our-portal.com/public_html/adm>
         Options -MultiViews
   </Directory>
   <Directory /srv/www/our-portal.com/public_html/matrix>
         Options -MultiViews
   </Directory>
   ErrorLog  /srv/www/our-portal.com/logs/error.log
   CustomLog /srv/www/our-portal.com/logs/access.log combined
 </VirtualHost>

    I also believe my links were not created correctly. It helped to type 

    ln -s

    and double-click tab (without executing the command) to look at the correct way Unix handles the path for this function. My links looked like this

    ln -s /srv/www/our-portal.com/adm/public/ our-portal.com/public_html/adm
ln -s /srv/www/our-portal.com/sitedb-pro/public/ our-portal.com/public_html/matrix

    Notice the difference from my old links. Using double-click tab I was able to reference these folders correctly.
