log files are written by rails as the 'user', not by the apache user.
See the directory listing of my 'logs' below.

Apache user is www-user anyway, not root. Root user is only for the
master process.

you should change the ownership back on all files/folders
in /home/justinscheier/www/testapp1

Then, you need to indicate in your apache configuration which RailsEnv
is to be used...

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName testapp1.fuse.sonikserver.com
DocumentRoot /home/justinschier/www/testapp1/public
## note the following line ##
RailsEnv production # or development if that's what you are running
##
<Directory /home/justinschier/www/testapp1/public>
Allow from all
Options -MultiViews
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Passenger is very clever and can be forced to restart just by issuing the command (as user), 'touch tmp/restart.txt'

On my setups (RH/CentOS/Fedora), apache is both user and group and apache web server runs as user:group apache:apache

thus...
drwxrwxr-x 3 craig apache 4096 2010-03-21 03:17 log
drwxrwxr-x 7 craig apache 4096 2010-03-06 01:23 tmp

note: apache group on both folders and group permissions are rwx (or chmod 775 log tmp)

also, inside tmp...
$ ls -l tmp/
total 16
drwxrwxr-x 3 craig apache 4096 2010-02-09 02:58 cache
drwxrwxr-x 3 craig apache 4096 2010-02-09 02:58 pids
-rw-rw-r-- 1 craig craig 0 2010-03-23 00:12 restart.txt
drwxrwxr-x 3 craig apache 4096 2010-02-09 02:58 sessions
drwxrwxr-x 3 craig apache 4096 2010-02-09 02:58 sockets

the only places you should even think about changing ownership (log & tmp) and even then, just the group bits, not the user.

root is used nowhere.

The other thing you have to make certain of, is that if you are running apache from your home directory, that the apache user (in your case, www-data) can actually access.

so ls -ld /home /home/justinscheier /home/justinscheier/www /home/justinscheier/www/testapp1 must all be 'o+x' so the web server user can access.

** log files (with logrotate handling weekly rotation, development log only updates when I run script/console)
$ ls -l log
total 23932
-rw-r--r-- 1 craig craig 9546293 2010-03-19 22:29 development.log
