I just created my first RoR project (following this guide
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/start), and I had some trouble getting
everything to work under apache with passenger. After some debugging I
found out I simply didn't had any .htaccess in my public/ folder. People
around the interwebz seemed to imply there should be one by default, so
my questions are :
- Why wasn't there one created with my application?
- Also, I didn't have any problem when I ran my application using
webrick. How come?

You don't need a .htaccess in public for passenger (in fact with an
older app that I migrated to passenger recently, the old .htaccess was
there stopped passenger from working). It was removed because it was
only used for fastcgi which is pretty much obsolete as a method for
deploying rails apps

Okay... then let me describe the issue I had with passenger (and not
with webrick), I guess the problem lies elsewhere : in the 'First
application' part of the wiki, you create a table and the correspondent
controller and views. I just can't access this controller, I get an
error 500 from apache. Furthermore, when I checked the log, I get this :
[Thu May 20 21:07:08 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Request exceeded
the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error.
Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use
'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.

Also, here's what I've got in my apache configuration :
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:3000
Listen 127.0.0.1:3000
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:3000>
DocumentRoot "/home/simon/projet-web/blog/public"
DirectoryIndex index.html
LogLevel debug
RailsEnv development
<Directory "/home/simon/projet-web/blog/public">
AllowOverride All
Options -MultiViews
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Are you sure there's not some other stuff (eg some rewrite rules) that
be being used - I don't see how just the above + your rails app would
be doing redirects to a .php url
