I guess this is closer to what I need.

Doesn't work.
However this does:
Alias /roster/ /srv/whimsy/www/roster
<Location /roster>
PassengerBaseURI /roster
PassengerAppRoot /srv/whimsy/www/roster
PassengerAppEnv development
Options -Multiviews
</Location>
Yay!

I think it would help to document what the paths represent, and for
file paths, what one would expect to find there.
e.g. I assume PassengerAppRoot is a local path, and need to point to a
rake app, i.e. a whimsy directory containing config.ru.
This should make it easier to check the settings are correct.
