It sounds like you are setting this up for localhost viewing, or on a local 
network. My answers are somewhat specific to this, particularly the part about 
your hosts file.

ServerName takes a hostname, not an IP address or path. Try mysite.com instead.

If your Rails app is called "Projects", then this line looks correct.

Ditto, this path should match the DocumentRoot line.

If you had set up the server to respond to mysite.com, and the server was 
running, then you would point your browser to mysite.com/ and see whatever you 
had configured your root path to be.

In your hosts file, you would put 

        xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  mysite.com

A DNS record like this would point *from* an IP *to* a virtual host. In 
production, you would set up your public server to respond to your actual 
domain name, and you would have your DNS hosting provider point your domain to 
the public IP address of your actual server.
