I run a rails app at /home/vincent/Documents/vincentApp/ .  The app

Forbidden error when accessing the app on Apache on port 80.  I
suspect this is more of a problem with my Apache config than with
Rails or Passenger.  The configs are below.  Please help.  Thanks.

I have Passenger installed.

The following is in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:

# Passenger
LoadModule passenger_module /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.8/ext/
apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.8
PassengerRuby /usr/bin/ruby1.8

The following is the content of the file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
default

<VirtualHost *:80>
       ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

You can try adding the following after the second Directory block:

RailsBaseURI /

Next, I would verify that 'Allow from' is correct.  I have used the following

without fail:

Allow from all

Good luck,
