After installation we need to add the passenger ruby modules at apache config file.

At last you need to add this lines

LoadModule passenger_module /home/kannan/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p374/gems/passenger-4.0.21/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /home/kannan/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p374/gems/passenger-4.0.21

  #railsproject.local

   NameVirtualHost *:80
   <VirtualHost *:80>
      ServerName www.railsproject.local
      # !!! Be sure to point DocumentRoot to 'public'!
      DocumentRoot /somewhere/public   
      <Directory /somewhere/public>
         # This relaxes Apache security settings.
         AllowOverride all
         # MultiViews must be turned off.
         Options -MultiViews
      </Directory>
   </VirtualHost>
