Apache x-sendfile module for Ubuntu Hardy 22 Dec 09

We’ve just added Caspar Clemens Mierau’s package for the Apache x-sendfile module to our Ubuntu Hardy package repositories, so now it’s trivially easy for Brightbox customers to start using it. We’ve also built an AMD64 version too.  Just install the package, enable it and reload Apache:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-xsendfile
sudo a2enmod xsendfile
sudo invoke-rc.d apache reload

Passenger Ubuntu package updated 11 Jan 09

We’ve just built new versions of our Passenger Ubuntu package.  It’s still Passenger 2.0.6, but we tweaked the dependencies so you aren’t forced to use the Apache worker mpm (prefork should work just fine with Passenger).

We’re now also providing 64bit versions of the packages (the source of the 404 errors some of you reported when trying to install the package).

Documentation for the packages in the usual place on the wiki.

More Passenger news coming soon :)
