Unable to start the Phusion Passenger watchdog

[amala]

I'm trying to install Passenger (mod_rails) on Apache2 server by using
the command

1. gem install passenger
2. passenger-install-apache2-module
Passenger gets installed and i added the below line to my
configuration file

LoadModule passenger_module /home/ec2-user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/
gems/pass enger-3.0.11/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /home/ec2-user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/
passenger-3.0.11
PassengerRuby /home/ec2-user/.rvm/wrappers/ruby-1.9.2-p290/ruby

Once i finished all those steps and i started accessing of Apache2
server.

I got the following Passenger error:

[error] * Passenger could not be initialized because of this error:
Unable to start the Phusion Passenger watchdog because its executable
(/usr/lib/phusion-passenger/agents/PassengerWatchdog) does not exist.
Thi s probably means that your Phusion Passenger installation is
broken or incomplet e, or that your 'PassengerRoot' directive is set
to the wrong value. Please rein stall Phusion Passenger or fix your
'PassengerRoot' directive, whichever is appl icable.

It took PassengerRoot path as (/usr/lib/phusion-passenger/agents/
PassengerWatchdog) instead of ( /home/ec2-user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-
p290/gems/passenger-3.0.11). Why?

Appreciate your help in resolving this issue.

Probably because the user apache is running as does not have permission to access /home/ec2-user.

Thanks Hongli for the response!

Since i got the above problem, i just re-installed passenger-install-
apache2-module. It failed again with the following error.

Finally i got working of this stuff.. First i uninstall the passenger
gem and i just removed the passenger-3.0.11 from the path (/home/ec2-
user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/passenger-3.0.11).
Then i re-installed passenger gem using gem install passenger
After proper installation of passenger gem, i entered passenger-
install-apache2-module. Then its getting installed completely. That's
it..

Thanks,
