Deployment of Rails Application using Passenger and Apache2

Is there anything special related to deploying a Rails application in Ubuntu using Passenger and Apache2?

I've installed passenger appropriately as indicated in the many instruction pages, but every time I add a new element within my sites-available directory (and subsequently a2ensite the file), I have no response at all. In addition, passenger-status reports nothing.

<Virtualhost *:80>

   DocumentRoot  /var/www/html/mynewapp/public

   <Directory /var/www/html/mynewapp/public>

      Allow from all

      Options -Multiviews

   </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

The webserver on which I must deploy the (sample) application is used purely for internal purposes, and has only a local IP addres (hence no domain crap, and why I have excluded the Servername directive). Strange thing is that I don't even get an error in the apache error_log.

Any ideas?

I figured this out myself; turned out it was not the apache configuration file, but rather that the application was not being registered with passenger.

To bypass this, I simply set the virtualhost to listen to a specific port (say, 123), and then updated the apache conf to listen on that port. At that point, passenger-status reported the application in the pool.
