Comment on Install a Rails enviroment on Snow Leopard with Macports, Mysql and ModRails Passenger (updated) by admin

Hi, thank you for you nice comment.

Your error is happening probably because one of your rails apps is default host of your apache and you dont have any other default vhost.
The default is actually the first rails vhost on the passenger file.

To be able to enable php and others you will have to enable another default vhost with localhost as servername.

This is what did to fix your problem:
Edit the file /etc/apache2/httpd.conf to enable vhosts

1 2	# Virtual hosts Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

then open /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf file,
delete or comment everything from there and add this block ONLY:

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *:80
 
# Change /Users/fred/ to your appropriate login name
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName localhost
    DocumentRoot /Users/fred/Sites/
    RewriteEngine On
    DefaultType text/html
    <Directory "/Users/fred/Sites">
        DefaultType text/html
        Options +ExecCGI FollowSymLinks Indexes
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    Directory>
VirtualHost>

there you go, worked nice for me.

I did everything here according to your instructions on Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.

It worked great and I have my rails apps up and running locally.

However, I seem to have several problems:

1. I had a phpinfo.php in my htdocs root:

http://localhost/phpinfo.php

Routing Error

No route matches “/phpinfo.php” with {:method=>:get}

So, course, now it apears that the document route is the rails app rather than the apache2 htdocs.

I have the same problem accessing phpmyadmin

http://localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php?

Routing Error

No route matches “/phpmyadmin/index.php” with {:method=>:get}

Same issue.

Not a big deal but will need to add more information for clarifying these types of routing issues.

Thanks looking forward to seeing more of your posts.

yeah, gentoo still rocks. got it on my htpc as a base for xbmc.
nice to see that you are interested in an ebuild. there’s another user on the bugtracker showing interest in creating an ebuild. maybe it would be wise to coordinate your efforts.

cheers,

hey,
Thanks for submitting the bug report.
actually it’s a really good idea to have an ebuild.
Good to see active Gentoo users. I wish I was more active too.
I have done a couple of ebuilds many years back. I might give it a try now.

hey,

nice tutorial. do you have an intention to create an ebuild?
i created a bugreport, so this might be good point to start at in case someone is interested in creating an ebuild for gentoo linux.

Comment on Really checking the content-type/mime_type of a file in OSX and Linux by Ches

Beside the whole point, but as a side note the case construct allows you some regex matching convenience. The above can equivalently be written as:


real_type = case content_type
            when /image|png|jpg|jpeg|gif/
              'image'
            when /pdf/
              'pdf'
            # etc.
            end
