I’m trying to get the open project app to start on boot. For this reason I followed this guide https://community.openproject.org/topics/576?board_id=9 (and tried a couple of others aswell) to install apache + passenger.

My problem is that the app wont start on apache restart (with sudo service apache2 restart) but it will start with the command ‘passenger start’. My virtual host file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domain.com
# !!! Be sure to point DocumentRoot to 'public'!
DocumentRoot /home/openproject/openproject/public
<Directory /home/openproject/openproject/public>
# This relaxes Apache security settings
AllowOverride all
# MultiViews must be turned off.
Options -MultiViews
# Uncomment this if you're on Apache >= 2.4:
#Require all granted
</Directory>

Passenger log:

It seems to start passenger and then simply dieing?

I ran out of ideas what to do so any help is apreciated
