Passenger: Command Not Found

[kwyjibo]

I'm on Ubuntu 9.10, installed passenger via gems, and 2.2.7 installed
with no problem...so I thought. When I type: passenger-install-apache2-
module, it tells me 'Command Not Found'.

So, I tried through the package manager instead, and there is only
'libapache2-mod-passenger', but it won't install because apache2-mpm-
worker is not installed. So, I go to install that, and it tells me I
need to uninstall a bunch of programs including php and phpmyadmin!
What? I don't want to do that.

Yes, I'm a noob, so please be nice! ;)

I've already gone through all the prelim steps: sudo apt-get update,
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, installed ruby, installed rails, and I was
told to install these dependencies:

sudo apt-get install apache2-prefork-dev libapr1-dev libaprutil1-dev

Is that right?

Any advice about how to get this up and running?

If you installed passenger through Debian/Ubuntu's 'gem' command then
passenger-install-apache2-module is placed in /var/lib/gems/bin (or
something like that), thanks to ridiculous Debian packaging policies.
This directory is not in $PATH by default which is why you get a
'command not found'. You need to refer to the command with an absolute
path.

The Ubuntu package is created by Brightbox. Their packages are
currently compiled for Apache with the worker MPM, but PHP is not
thread-safe and can only be used with the prefork MPM. You should file
a bug report at Brightbox if you think this is a problem.
