Installing passenger

Passenger requires ruby compiled with openssl. For this, after ruby is built, the following needs to be done

# go the ruby source folder, and within that to ext/openssl
cd /usr/local/src/ruby-1.8.7-p22/ext/openssl

# build
sudo ruby extconf.rb
make
make install


After this installing passenger is very simple as outlined here.


gem install passenger
passenger-install-nginx-module
