That sounds correct, as there is no "typo" controller in typo...  
however with a regular typo install there shouldn't be any index.html  
page (the "Congrats..." page). When you "hit localhost" what exactly  
is the url you are using? http://localhost? if so, then you are  
seeing the correct directory (typo/public) being served to you...  
although I don't know why you'd have the "Congrats you're on Rails"  
page.

Sounds like that's the case

routes.rb should work just fine as is. I suspect that the  
<VirtualHost *> directive you're using is a bit off. I'd get rid of  
the ServerName typo to start.

Are you trying to serve it via Apache as a .cgi?

Can you serve typo via Webrick on port 3000 (the default Webrick  
port)? i.e. start script/server and goto http://localhost:3000

Is your Rails up to date? how about your gems? I've found that I've  
seen errors that didn't make sense because all the bits weren't up to  
date.
