Rails in Apache

I have my DocumentRoot for my virtualhost in Apache set up as the public dir of my rails app. The public dir contained the 'welcome aboard' rails index.html file, but i deleted it, created a controller called home, with the view 'index.' I then went into the config dir and uncommented root to: to point to home#index, but the website still just points to the public folder of the rails app, showing its contents. what did i do wrong?

home_controller.rb

class HomeController < ApplicationController
  def index
  end

end

routes.rb

Webapp::App开发者_运维问答lication.routes.draw do
  get "home/index"
  #Lots of comments
  root :to => "home#index"

end

edit: I got passenger working I think, but the routes.rb isn't working. It's not making the root my newest controller i made with rails generate controller home index. Instead it's looking for index.html in the public dir, because when i put an index.html file in there, it shows it, and if i remove it, i get an error 500. furthermore the apache error.log says "Premature end of script headers:"

Copy the whole tree to your dev computer. Run it with the development server 'script/server'

Just use passenger in production.

"Error 500" probably can be detailed a little more. Check your log/production.log.

Alternatively, try to sun Passenger in standalone mode to see if any error comes up. Shutdown Apache and run:

sudo passenger start -p 80

Something else I usually do: edit your config/environments/production.rb to report detailed error messages:

config.consider_all_requests_local = true
