How do I set up a Sinatra app under Apache with Passenger?
Example vhost file for rack app with passenger:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName server.local
ServerAlias *.server.local
DocumentRoot /dir/public
RackEnv development
<Directory /dir/public>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Example Config.ru:
require File.expand_path('../boot.rb', __FILE__)
use Rack::Middleware
run Rack::Cascade.new([array])
Basic directory structure:
app
|-- config.ru # <- rackup file
|-- hello-app.rb # <- your application
|-- public/ # <- static public files (passenger needs this)
`-- tmp/
`-- restart.txt # <- touch this file to restart app
Virtual host file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName app.example.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/app/public
<Directory /path/to/app/public>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
config.ru
# encoding: UTF-8
require './hello-app'
run Sinatra::Application
hello-app.rb (sample application):
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# encoding: UTF-8
require 'rubygems' # for ruby 1.8
require 'sinatra'
get '/hi' do
"Hello World!"
end
restart.txt
is empty.
