Exception LoadErrror with Passenger and Apache httpd

[Brian Wilkins]

I have been running my puppetmaster with passenger and apache httpd successfully for sometime now. During a recent upgrade to Puppet 3.6.1, I am seeing this following exception in /var/log/httpd/error_log :

 *** Exception LoadError in PhusionPassenger::Rack::ApplicationSpawner (no such file to load -- rack) (process 3072, thread #<Thread:0x7f2d85cfb368>):

I tried setting my gem environment in the config.ru, but that didn't seem to help. I see that the puppet 3.6.1 gem is installed. I installed puppet 3.6.1 via RPM not gem. I also ran gem clean to no avail.

Any idea how to get past this error? I see that the puppet 3.6.1 gem has a rack - maybe it can't be found in my path?

Hi,

you really ought to try and get rid of that gem. gem clean won't cut it.

Try gem uninstall puppet.

HTH,
