trying to set up my http.conf file for ruby on rails

Question

I put a folder called simple_cms in my httpdocs directory but my server won't start because my http.conf file is being written wrong how am I supposed to write it.

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName www.webappcompany.com
  DocumentRoot /simple_cms/public    
  <Directory /simple_cms/public>
     AllowOverride all              
     Options -MultiViews           
  </Directory>

Answer 1

Try changing the file paths in the DocumentRoot and Directory commands to the full path from your root directory: /???/httpdocs/simple_cms/public. I'm also using Mongrel + Passenger, and that's what my paths look like.

I've also got a RailsEnv production and some SSL stuff in mine, but other that that, yours looks just like it - hopefully it's just the file paths that are holding you back...

Hope this helps!
