AppWeb server with MVC on Ubuntu not working as expected

Disclaimer: I'm a linux noob

That being stated, after following the instructions on how to install AppWeb on Ubuntu (http://ift.tt/1CQAQrI) I did the following:

1. Changed directory to where I installed AppWeb :
   
   [my_username@ubuntu]:$ cd ~/apps/appweb


2. Changed directory to one of the samples provided by the isntallation (MVC related)
   
   [my_username@ubuntu]:~/apps/appweb$ cd samples/esp-hosted


3. Started AppWeb at that location:
   
   [my_username@ubuntu]:~/apps/appweb/samples/esp-hosted$ appweb
   
   This gave me the following info:
   
   01/29/15 12:41:47 2 appweb, Configuration for Embedthis Appweb
   
   01/29/15 12:41:47 2 appweb, ----------------------------------
   
   01/29/15 12:41:47 2 appweb, Version: 5.3.0
   
   01/29/15 12:41:47 2 appweb, BuildType: Debug
   
   01/29/15 12:41:47 2 appweb, CPU: x86
   
   01/29/15 12:41:47 2 appweb, OS: linux
   
   01/29/15 12:41:47 2 appweb, Host: ubuntu
   
   01/29/15 12:41:47 2 appweb, Configure: me -d -q -platform linux-x86-default -configure . -with openssl -gen make
   
   01/29/15 12:41:47 2 appweb, ----------------------------------
   
   01/29/15 12:41:47 0 info http, Started HTTP service on *:4000


4. I then went to firefox and typed "http://localhost:4000" in the address bar
   
   This showed me a static page with static info asexpected

The problem I'm having is that this sample is touted to display a basic blog with which one can interact. Well, the blog is not available because whenever a blog related web address (MVC pattern) is entered, the server responds with a "file not found" response. The appweb.config file provided by the sample is described below:

#
#   appweb.conf -- Appweb configuration for ${UAPP} (esp-html-mvc)
#

ErrorLog stdout level=2 append

Listen 4000

LoadModule espHandler libmod_esp

#
#   SSL/TLS configuration
#
#   LoadModule sslModule libmod_ssl
#   ListenSecure 443
#
#   SECURITY NOTE: you must generate the server.crt and server.key.pem.
#   Use a decrypted key here so it won't prompt for the password.
#
#   SSLCertificateFile "server.crt"
#   SSLCertificateKeyFile "server.key.pem"

#
#   Define the application
 <EspApp name="blog" routes="esp-html-mvc">
    #
    #   EspResource NAME
    #   EspResourceGroup 
    #
    #   <Route /upload-uri>
    #       AddInputFilter uploadFilter
    #       UploadDir /tmp
    #       UploadAutoDelete on
    #       LimitUpload 200MB
    #   </Route> 
  </EspApp>

# LogRoutes

So, If I were to type http://localhost:4000/post/list (local to my computer), then I should expect a page like the one at the following link (http://ift.tt/1CQAQrK) under the "Scaffolds" section, but instead I get the "Access Error: 404 -- Not Found" message from the server

I know my way around the MVC paradigm so I think I'm doing this correctly (since I followed the instructions), but it's possible I may have missed a step, but I just can't see it because of my linux noobiness.

Any suggestions?
