Installed Phusion Passenger on Server but apache2 didn't install in /etc/apache2/

Question

Hey all,

I am following instructions on how to deploy rails application on server.

I did the following:

sudo gem install passenger 
passenger-install-apache2-module

Everything is successful so far. But next on instruction he uses:

nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

Problem is there is no apache2 directory in etc. Therefore, I have no clue where the file I need to stick this information is:

<VirtualHost *:80> 
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost 

    ServerName www.mywebsite.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/mywebsite/public 
    <Directory /var/www/mywebsite/public> 
            Options Indexes FollowSymLinks -MultiViews 
            AllowOverride all 
            Order allow,deny 
            allow from all 
    </Directory> 

    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log 

    LogLevel warn 

    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined 

</VirtualHost>

Thanks for any response.

Apache is separate and will not be installed with phusion passenger. You need to install it by yourself and it depends on your OS (it seems you are on a linux system), so you may try something like this in the command line:

apt-get install apache2
