Passenger error - PhusionPassenger::ClassicRails::ApplicationSpawner::Error

Question

Ruby on rails project: I upgraded my files on server (app, config), runned bundle install successfully. Then passenger throwed exeption. It didn't make me any sence. What that could be? Can I get anywhere detailed description for exeption?

Exeption on apache error_log: 
(eval):1: warning: already initialized constant RAILS_ROOT

Thank you!

You need to change the RailsBaseURI directive to RackBaseURI in your apache config file. RailsBaseURI was meant for Rails 1 and Rails 2 applications, whereas RackBaseURI is the way to go for Rails 3.

Someone reported, that a missing config.ru file resulted in the same error message.
