Redmine SUB-URI and Apache configuration

While trying to setup Redmine in a sub-uri I run across an issue will trying to setup apache. Passenger would display the following error: No such file or directory – config/environment.rb while trying to access the Redmine webpage.

After trying a few suggestions on the issue I managed to get Redmine to work with the following configuration:

The passenger.load configuration file was the following (the paths will probably vary depending on the installation):

LoadModule passenger_module /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2011.03/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-3.0.9/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2011.03/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-3.0.9
PassengerRuby /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2011.03/bin/ruby
PassengerDefaultUser www-data

In the Virtual Host configuration I added the following:

        PassengerAppRoot /usr/local/lib/redmine-1.2/
        RailsBaseURI /redmine
        RailsEnv production

PassengerAppRoot represents the path that redmine is installed.
RailsBasedURI represents the sub directory in the URL that represents Redmine eg. www.example.org/redmine

(for this to work is also essential to have a symbolic link of the redmine-*.*/public inside the web root folder).

Also I changed ownership of the redmine-1.2 folder and the symlink redmine folder to the apache user/group (I am under the impression that it was necessary).
