I have installed mod_rails (phusion passenger) for Apache on Ubuntu 11.10. Ruby and Rails are running fine, and so does mod_rails.

I have setup a site on dev.localhost, which is my ruby app. The app is called my_project which resides in var/www/my_project

My virtualhost for it successfully points to the 'public' directory of my ruby app and it seems to work. If I access dev.localhost - my ruby application works perfectly, there are no complaints. However, if I access localhost/my_project, my entire ruby application is displayed, the Gemfile, the controllers, all it's directories - everything. It displays the directory's content.

My virtual hosts file for my rails app:

<VirtualLHost *:80>
RailsEnv development
ServerName dev.localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/my_project/public
</VirtualHost>

Why is this? I can't figure it out. I've tried .htaccess files, everything, but those obviously also reflect on dev.localhost.

How can I stop people from seeing the ruby application files on say localhost/my_project? It doesn't display it on dev.localhost, it displays the site 100%.

What am I missing here?

Say I have a domain name registered with a website. On their site it says the following:

Domain Name Servers listed in order:

ns9.zoneedit.com ns18.zoneedit.com ns3.freedns.ws

Are name servers read in a particular order? Or does it use the closest one/one that receives the first request? Or is the order as it is there, the order it's requested in? I.e, ns9.zoneedit.com would be the primary address?

The reason why I ask is because unfortunately there is a bug in their systems (you need to email a form in order to update your domain), and I used to have 3 name servers in my old record, and I changed DNS providers, but now I only use 2 and can't remove the third one which is ns3.freedns.ws.

Will this impact it? Because if it just uses the primary and secondary, that should be fine right? I updated these changes yesterday, it's been past the 24hr mark.
