can't get server to serve rails app on bitnami

I'm trying to follow the help doc at http://wiki.bitnami.org/Components/Phusion_Passenger and think I must be misunderstanding something.

My app is installed at /opt/bitnami/apps/blog

I symlink it "sudo ln -s /opt/bitnami/apps/blog/public /opt/bitnami/apache2/htdocs/blog"

Is that right?

My blog.conf located in /opt/bitnami/apps/blog/conf has this code

<VirtualHost *:80>
  RailsBaseURI /opt/bitnami/apache2/htdocs/blog/public
  <Directory /opt/bitnami/apache2/htdocs/blog>
    Options -MultiViews
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

It servers the public/index.html (static) page but when I remove the index page and generate scafold It gives me a 403 error "Forbidden" [You don't have permission to access /blog/ on this server.]

I'm no sysadmin so suspect I've got this wrong somewhere. I'd be very grateful for some help getting this to work.

Thank you

Here are my diretories
