Problem Installing Passenger

Hi there,

I'm trying to install passenger on a hosted server which has Ubuntu 9.04 Ruby 1.8.6 Rails 2.3.5 Apache 2 I had some trouble with gem install passenger, but went through after installing build-essential which were not on the machine. First when I launched passenger-install-apache2-module, it complained about Apache not in the correct mpm mode, so I installed mpm-prefork

Now when I relaunch passenger-install-apache2-module, I get this:

Compiling and installing Apache 2 module... cd /srv/d_prod/home/christophe/gems/gems/passenger-2.2.11 /usr/bin/ruby1.8 -S /usr/bin/rake clean apache2 # /usr/bin/ruby1.8 -S /usr/bin/rake clean apache2 (in /srv/d_prod/home/christophe/gems/gems/passenger-2.2.11) rake aborted! undefined method `rakefile' for #<Rake::Application:0xb7c6719c> /srv/d_prod/home/christophe/gems/gems/passenger-2.2.11/Rakefile:630:in `new' (See full trace by running task with --trace)

I also reinstalled rake

Any thoughts, anyone ?

Thanks, Christophe

How did you install rake? with through gem or through package manager? Try to avoid gems installation via the package manager, my advice, based on the experience on Debian(-like) systems with this things is you have to install only rubygems from the package manager and then, everything else with the gem command.

Hope it helps.
