HELP: Production Start Guide Installation: Apache serves Document Root /var/canvas/public folder structure -no admin login screen

[g_karliychuk]

I followed all the production guide steps and in the final step after restarting apache, I get a directory when I navigate in the browser to the server domain: [canvas.fxlongterm.com]
As I understand I am meant to see a log-in page for admin to login. Please help, I have installed it twice with the same result.

Daemonising process is running:

• sudo /etc/init.d/canvas_init start

Delayed jobs running, pool PID: 31953
Virtual machine on google cloud: Ubuntu 14.04.5 (trusty)

The display in the browser:

Had the same issue. Fixing the PassengerRoot setting helped.

If you follow the installation guide to carefully as I did, you might as well change important PassengerRoot value to /usr which will brake things. You can get correct path by running command "passenger-config --root" and then fix PassengerRoot setting in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/passenger.conf file. After apache2 restart I finally got the login screen.
