Strange problem publishing a fresh Ruby on Rails 3 application on localhost (Apache, Passenger and VirtualHosts)
- by user502052
I recently created a new Ruby on Rails 3 application locally on a Mac OS, named "test".
Since I use apache2, in the private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf I set the VirtualHost for the "test" application:
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName test.pjtmain.localhost:443
DocumentRoot "/Users/<my_user_name>/Sites/test/public"
RackEnv development
<Directory "/Users/<my_user_name>/Sites/test/public">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
# SSL Configuration
SSLEngine on
...
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName test.pjtmain.localhost
DocumentRoot "/Users/<my_user_name>/Sites/test/public"
RackEnv development
<Directory "/Users/<my_user_name>/Sites/test/public">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Of course I restart apache2, but trying to access to http://test.pjtmain.localhost/ I have this error message from:
FIREFOX
Oops! Firefox could not find test.pjtmain.localhost
Suggestions:

Search on Google:
...
SAFARI
Safari can’t find the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://test.pjtmain.localhost/” because Safari can’t find the server “test.pjtmain.localhost”.
I have other RoR3 applications setted like that above in the httpd.conf file and all them work.
What is the problem (maybe it is not related to apache...)?
Notes:
1. Using the 'Network Uility'
I did a Ping with the following result:
ping: cannot resolve test.pjtmain.localhost: Unknown host
and I did a Lookup with the follonwing result:
; <<>> DiG 9.6.0-APPLE-P2 <<>> test.pjtmain.localhost +multiline +nocomments +nocmd +noquestion +nostats +search
;; global options: +cmd

)
2. I am using Phusion Passenger
3. Since I not changed nothing to the new "test" application, I expect to see the default RoR index.html page:
4. It seems that in the 'Console Messages' there is any warning or error
