Attempting to install passenger 3.0.19 and getting mod_passenger: can't open shared object file

Hello all,

I am trying to install passenger on a server that has apache installed from source. The install seemed to work fine but when I restart the httpd service I get the following error:

Starting httpd: httpd: Syntax error on line 451 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/extra/httpd-passenger.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-3.0.19/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so into server: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-3.0.19/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

My current environment is:

Centos 6.2

Apache 2

Rails 3.2.12

Passenger 3.0.19

Ruby 1.9.3p392

I have not found a way to address this issue and my google searching hasn’t revealed any concrete way to solve this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

sudo find / -name mod_passenger.so
Change your so line to that file.

I tried the sudo fine / -name mod_passenger.so but it wouldn’t find the file.

I don’t think I have it for some reason. I’m very new to all this, so I’m not sure if I’ve provided enough information. I will be thankful for any and all help I can get, and please feel free to ask for more details if it’s needed.

Thanks
