Hi, I just installed passenger 3.0.(on rvm system, using sudo). Strangely, gem path was not found. So I did "sudo /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/passenger-install-apache2-module". Installation process was smooth. I modified httpd.conf and added myapp.local configuration and modified hosts for the local domain. I also reloaded apache2. When I visit the site from my browser, it just shows blank page. No error. What did I miss? Thanks. Sam ---
