Okay, I got it to work on the domain root by editing /etc/apache2/ sites-available/default to point to the app's public directory. Is that the right way to go about it, or is that just a hack? If that's what I'm supposed to do, it seems odd that this step isn't mentioned in the mod_rails user guide. I still can't get it to work on a sub-uri using an analogous technique (i.e., creating a virtual host file for the URI in /etc/apache2/sites-available)...
