I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and I've transferred over some sites built in Sinatra. I've set up Phusion passenger, but when I visit the sites I'm getting a Passenger LoadError claiming that passenger has 'no such file to load -- sinatra' yet when I run gem list or sudo gem list, I clearly see sinatra listed. Why can't passenger find this gem?

My sudo gem env output looks like this

RubyGems Environment:
- RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.3.5
- RUBY VERSION: 1.8.7 (2009-12-24 patchlevel 248) [x86_64-linux]
- INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
- RUBY EXECUTABLE: /usr/local/bin/ruby
- EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: /usr/local/bin
- RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS:
- ruby
- x86_64-linux
- GEM PATHS:

- :update_sources => true
- :verbose => true
- :benchmark => false
- :backtrace => false
- :bulk_threshold => 1000
- REMOTE SOURCES:
- http://gems.rubyforge.org/

running 'sudo ruby -v' I see the following:
ruby 1.8.7 (2009-12-24 patchlevel 248) [x86_64-linux], MBARI 0x6770, Ruby Enterprise Edition 2010.01

Is that correct, or should the two ruby versions match up correctly, displaying REE in both?

Thanks in advance!

  • What is your PassengerRuby ? It should be /usr/local/bin/ruby in this case

  • Check absolute path with type ruby if it says /usr/local/bin/ruby then it is correct. Check also type gem to be sure that you are using /usr/local/bin/gem (from Ruby EE)

  • @CasualCoder when I do type ruby if says /usr/local/bin/ruby and type gem says /usr/local/bin/gem it says both are hashed. How do I check PassengerRuby?

Check your Passenger module configuration files. In my case

content of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/passenger.load:

LoadModule passenger_module /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger2.2.5/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so

content of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/passenger.conf:

<IfModule mod_passenger.c>
  PassengerRoot /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.5
  PassengerRuby /usr/local/bin/ruby
</IfModule>

PassengerRuby is telling module what ruby interpreter to use.

  • Thanks Casual Coder, looks like my passenger.conf isn't set up correctly. It looks like the following: <IfModule mod_passenger.c> PassengerRoot /usr PassengerRuby /usr/bin/ruby </IfModule> They should both be set-up using the variables we found by running type ruby, right?
