aptitude install git libsqlite3-dev apache2-mpm-worker apache2-prefork-dev libapr1

gem install sqlite3 passenger

echo “LoadModule passenger_module /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.0.2/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so” > /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.load

cat </etc/apache2/sites-available/default

ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot /path_to_rails_app/public

EOF

a2enmod passenger

apache2ctl configtest

apache2ctl graceful

if you have multiple rails apps you can setup your /etc/hosts file to point each app name @ 127.0.0.1 and use that name in the virtual host “ServerName” declaration
