Passenger on Ubuntu still only serving default index.html

Trying to get my server to serve my rails apps.

I have a test app installed, apache2 and passenger have been installed have I have added the following to the apache2.conf

# Include the virtual host configurations:
Include sites-enabled/
NameVirtualHost localhost:80
<VirtualHost localhost:80>
      ServerName 192.168.1.67
      DocumentRoot /home/john/Public/test-app
</VirtualHost>

Clearly, I am misunstanding something, because I think that should redirect calls to my local IP to my rails app. It is not. It is going to the default apache index.html.

What am I doing wrong?

I had the same symptoms in this question but it was a different problem. My apache install already had a Virtual host enabled, so I had to disable it and enable my own with the commands

sudo a2dissite default
sudo a2ensite myapp

where default was the name of the Virtual Host file included by default in sites-avaliable/ and myapp is the file i added.

Hopefully this helps someone.

UPDATED answer: I think you are missing the "Directory" node. try using this config code:

(assuming your project path is: /home/john/Public/test-app)

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /home/john/Public/test-app/public
    RailsEnv development
    <Directory /home/john/Public/test-app/public>
    AllowOverride all 
    Options -MultiViews
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

This is how I usually do it:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName mysubdomain.betamaster.us
    DocumentRoot /var/www_home/mysubdomain/
</VirtualHost>

After applying these changes make sure to execute

/etc/init.d/apache2 reload

in order to reload the server configuration.
