Browse to IP/WebApp using apache

Question

I have the current setup

1. OpenSuSE 12.1
2. Apache 2.2

Please note I am not a web developer or web admin at all.

I have installed redmine to test and have everything up and running.

I can browse to redmine on the local machine and over the network using x.x.x.x:3000

1. listen.conf - added Listen 3000
2. httpd.conf - DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/redmine/public> Order allow, deny Allow from all AllowOverride all
3. Opened port 3000 on firewall.

What I would actually like to do is to access redmine in the following manner:

x.x.x.x/redmine

I have tried reading up on this but my skill levels with apache is just not up to scratch.

Any pointers, ideas or clear documents I could read for this?

Kind regards,

Neill

UPDATE 1

For anybody that might come across this post, I got it working.

Some info first

1. rails -v - Rails 3.2.8
2. ruby -v - ruby 1.8.7 (2011-12-28 patchlevel 357) [i586-linux]
3. redmine is installed at /webapps/redmine

Then,

1. Add a symbolic link:

   ln -s /webapps/redmine/public/ /srv/www/redmine

2. /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

<VirtualHost *>

ServerName serverName
DocumentRoot "/srv/www/"
Alias /redmine "/webapps/redmine/public"
ErrorLog /webapps/redmine/errorlog.log"
RailsEnv production
<Directory "/webapps/redmine/public">
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    AllowOverride all
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
</Directory>
RailsBaseURI /redmine

</VirtualHost>

1. /webapps/redmine/public:

   cp dispatch.fcgi.example dispatch.cgi

2. which ruby - /usr/bin/ruby

3. /webapps/redmine/public/dispatch.cgi

   Edit First line to directory from result of which command

That is what I did to get it working so hopefully it will help somebodyt else out there.
