Ruby on Rails

I think Passenger is running

The following is what I see before I invoked Firefox


And once I start Firefox I see

And this is what I have in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ralph-data.com.conf

This is what I get when I want to see the Apache httpd version

Thanks for asking.  It's a good review of what I've done. :-)

I've read overviews about Passenger ... but I still don't get what it does.  Does it sit between Apache (httpd)  and Rails?  What does it do that Apache (httpd) doesn't do?

It's a losing battle, but the ASF (Apache Software Foundation)
hosts/sponsors hundreds of OSS projects (e.g. Apache Tomcat,
Apache Commons) and it can get confusing when people use
"Apache" without any qualifier. But moving on...

Do you remember configuring httpd for something called
"Passenger"? If not, what kind of configuration was done to
access your Rails app?

You can get the command used to start the server (last shell
command) from the environment with "printenv _" e.g.

  puts "started with #{`printenv _`}"

Try putting the above line at the bottom of config/environment.rb
and starting your app both ways to confirm.
