Install problem with OpenSSL

[OLance]

Hi,

I've been asking my server administrator to install Passenger, but
we're having an error on the execution of :

> passenger-install-apache2-module

It outputs "OpenSSL support for Ruby... not found". We have then
installed the openssl ruby gem as told by the installer, and try the
command again...

And "not found" again ! The installer gives the same

Are there other packages to check ? Or a way to tell the installer
which directory to check ? What would this directory be then ?

Thanks a lot !

On Ubuntu the package is called 'libopenssl-ruby1.8'. You can check
whether it's installed by running "require 'openssl'" in an irb prompt.

How to install it depends on your platform. But generally, you if you
have the OpenSSL development headers, and you install Ruby from source,
then Ruby will be compiled with OpenSSL support.

Hello,

thanks for your reply and sorry for the delay...

The libopenssl-ruby1.8 package is installed, in its 1.8.5-4etch1
version. Everything seems find, but the installer keeps saying OpenSSL
support isn't active.
Ruby has been install from sources, I think it's Ruby 1.8.6.

I've asked to try recompiling Ruby with the option --with-openssl-dir
explicitly given... so wait and see...

No other idea on this failure ?

After compiling and installing ruby, from the source you go to the ext/openssl dir and compile it

as in cd to : /usr/local/src/ruby-1.8.7-p22/ext/openssl (or whatever)
sudo ruby extconf.rb
make
make install


This assumes you have openssl-dev packages appropriate for your distro installed

Great, Wally, that was the solution to my problem !!

I've been able to install passenger and forget all about Mongrel :D

Thanks a lot !
