Perhaps I’m a little late on the bandwagon, but I just installed Phusion Passenger on Ubuntu Hardy using your .deb package.

This is on a fresh VMWare image install (no apache2.2), and I followed the instruction above which seemed to work… until:

—-
Setting up apache2-mpm-worker (2.2.8-1ubuntu0.3) …
* Starting web server apache2 [ OK ]

Setting up libapache2-mod-passenger (2.0.3-0ubuntu1~hardy2) …
Your apache2 configuration is broken, so we’re not restarting it for you.
—-

Hm, curious, thought I. Let’s see what the error is:

—-
[17:49] sudo apache2ctl start
apache2: Syntax error on line 185 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/passenger.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_passenger.so into server: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_passenger.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
—-
user@ubuntu8041:~/Projects/sflor$ sudo updatedb
user@ubuntu8041:~/Projects/sflor$ locate mod_passenger.so
/mod_passenger.so
—-

Interesting! Seems to have installed the shared lib in /. I wonder why? *shrug* Maybe the install script couldn’t work out where the Apache root is…?

[17:50] sudo mv /mod_passenger.so /usr/lib/apache2/modules/
user@ubuntu8041:~/Projects/sflor$ sudo apache2ctl stop
user@ubuntu8041:~/Projects/sflor$ sudo apache2ctl start
—-

Seems to be up and running cleanly now. Just thought I’d document in case someone came across a similar problem.

Your package worked great on my Xubuntu 8.04 testing virtual machine. I’m downloading an image of Ubuntu 8.04 AMD64 to test your 64-bit package as well, most likely prior to the big upgrade of my VPS slice. Thank you for making this available to us all.

Any chance you’ll make a Passenger 2.0 package when it’s finally released, just days from now?

This looks like exactly what I need to jump onto the mod_rails bandwagon, thanks for your work on this, much appreciated.
