Success!! (Sorry for the delay - I've been under the weather and busy with some other things)
It's working in development, but not production mode. (Can you help with that?) The changes I made: 1. Change ownership on everything to www-data:www-data 2. chmod -R 775 /home 3. Added RailsEnv development to apache config 4. touch /home/justinschier/testapp1/tmp/restart.txt 5. Deleted /log/production.log After that, I got the configuration screen to show correctly and the development.log was written However, when I changed to RailsEnv production and restarted apache, now I get "We're sorry, but something went wrong". I'm sure the / config/environments/production.rb file is original. The /log/ production.log file was re-created automatically The production.log now only has this one line: # Logfile created on Tue Apr 06 15:11:14 -0700 2010 Questions: A. Should justinschier be the user, instead of www-data? B. Is there anything else I should check to see why production isn't working?
