how to activate a rails application on a VPS

Hello All, I have installed rvm ,ruby, rails ,passenger and apache2 on an Ubuntu 11.10 VPS. I have scaffolded a rails application and changed config of apache to point to it. When I entered my site from a browser I got the default rails page. When I removed the index.html file from the public folder I got a 404 error. When I changed my config.ru file to include the demo "hello world" rack app from the passenger-pushion site , I got the message displayed correctly on my browser. So what do I still miss to make my scaffold app run in response to browser input ? Thanks, David

I didn't see mention of you setting up a "root" route. Did you do that?
