Here's what you can expect from the installation process:

1. The Apache 2 module will be installed for you.
2. You'll learn how to configure Apache.
3. You'll learn how to deploy a Ruby on Rails application.

Don't worry if anything goes wrong. This installer will advise you on how to

--------------------------------------------
The Apache 2 module was successfully installed.

Please edit your Apache configuration file, and add these lines:

LoadModule passenger_module /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.5/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.5
PassengerRuby /usr/bin/ruby

After you restart Apache, you are ready to deploy any number of Ruby on Rails
applications on Apache, without any further Ruby on Rails-specific
configuration!

Press ENTER to continue.

--------------------------------------------
Deploying a Ruby on Rails application: an example

Suppose you have a Ruby on Rails application in /somewhere. Add a virtual host
to your Apache configuration file, and set its DocumentRoot to
/somewhere/public, like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.yourhost.com
DocumentRoot /somewhere/public # <-- be sure to point to 'public'!
</VirtualHost>

And that's it! You may also want to check the Users Guide for security and
optimization tips and other useful information:

/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.5/doc/Users guide Apache.html
