You may get a 403 Forbidden error code for a Rails 2.3 application under Phusion Passenger 5. And the corresponding error message in the log is similar to Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /webapps/xxxxxx/current/public/. Well, the cause of this error may be totally unrelated to the Options directive in httpd.conf.
This error may be caused by a change in the support of Rails 2.3 applications in Passenger 5: You are required to add a config.ru file to the root directory of a Rails 2.3 application. Here is an example from the reference below:
-
# Require your environment file to bootstrap Rails -
require ::File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/config/environment'
-
-
# Serve static assets from RAILS_ROOT/public directory -
# use Rails::Rack::Static -
# Dispatch the request -
run ActionController::Dispatcher.new
