Ali,

in order for us to help, you should provide us as much information as you can about the issues you’re having.

In this case:

  • Which OS are you using?

  • Which Rails version?

  • Which Ruby version?

  • Are you trying to install a development, testing or production environment?

  • Describe the process you did to get to this point.

Also, did you google the error description?

Did you read the passenger documentation and installation guide?

Imagine yourself trying to solve a problem with nothing more than

“E: could’nt find the package passenger-install-apache2-module”

It’s kind of difficult, isn’t it?

I guess you likely mean Ubuntu 10.04. When asking technical questions it is important to be accurate in any information you provide. The details are often the important factors.

What has that got to do with your original problem? You must use sudo with apt-get sudo apt-get install nginx

What has all of this got to do with rails? You would probably be better on the ubuntu-users list with such problems (assuming you are using Ubuntu).
