Passenger Nightmare

Yesterday I don't wait anymore: Passenger is so interesting .. I need try it.

Go!

I follow the install guide for Passenger using the native Ubuntu Linux package, and after some keystrokes, problems begins. The hell thing don't works...

After little time I found my gem tool has some bad behavior. Tried to update it. .... Horror: now my gem tool don't starts!. I'm lost: using rails you cannot go very long without gem. Glups!

After 12 hours of nightmare with St. Google & apt install, update, remove I get convinced the problem was using the apt repository http://apt.brightbox.net/.

I get all running now. My 'route to home' was:
  • Remove http://apt.brightbox.net/ from apt repository list
  • Uninstall ruby, rails, gems & passenger.
  • Install ruby, then rubygems, then update gem to last version (today is 1.2.0)
  • Install gems: rails, rake, etc.
  • Install passenger the 'gem way' and follow their console guide.
Passenger is great: I get Redmine running on apache + passenger at top speed!

Hope this can help
