passenger-config returns "no such file to load -- phusion_passenger"

[Thibaut Barrère]

Hello,

I'm getting the following error when running passenger-config:

$ passenger-config
/usr/bin/passenger-config:29:in `require': no such file to load -- phusion_passenger (LoadError)
from /usr/bin/passenger-config:29

This is a setup on which I have uninstalled a gem-based passenger 3 to replace it with a package-based passenger 4 (debian). It also happens to run a version of Ruby 1.8.7 (the server is being upgraded to 1.9.3 with RVM, the reason why I upgraded too to Passenger 4).

Do you have a hint of what may be happening here and how to solve it?

thanks in advance!

Hi Thibaut. Which version of Passenger 4 do you have installed? What is your currently active Ruby interpreter? (type 'which ruby')

Hello Hongli!

Which version of Passenger 4 do you have installed?

It seems to be 4.0.29: 

$ dpkg -l | grep passenger

ii  libapache2-mod-passenger             1:4.0.29-1~squeeze1          Rails and Rack support for Apache2

ii  passenger                            1:4.0.29-1~squeeze1          Rails and Rack support for Apache2 and Nginx

ii  passenger-dev                        1:4.0.29-1~squeeze1          Rails and Rack support for Apache2 and Nginx

ii  passenger-doc                        1:4.0.29-1~squeeze1          Rails and Rack support for Apache2 - Documentation

 

What is your currently active Ruby interpreter? (type 'which ruby')

This gives:

$ which ruby

/usr/local/bin/ruby

When using the Debian package, you are supposed to use /usr/bin/ruby for running the Passenger commands. Try this: /usr/bin/ruby -S passenger-config

I'll modify the Debian packages so that in the next release it'll work even if you're not using /usr/bin/ruby.

great - it works this way!

My goal here is to move to RVM, and figure out the correct path for PassengerRuby etc. Is there a way to use passenger-config with RVM on Debian?

I tried a few variations but could not get something that works.

Or maybe I should just define the wrapper path myself if this doesn't work yet on Debian (ex: ~/.rvm/wrappers/xxx-y.z@gemset/ruby) ?

thanks,

You can just define the wrapper path yourself. All passenger-config --ruby-command does is printing the path to the wrapper script.

You can also hot patch the passenger commands. Open /usr/bin/passenger-config (and other passenger commands), look for require "phusion_passenger", and change it into require "/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/phusion_passenger".

Thanks for the quick and detailed answer - much appreciated.

Have a great day,
