Passenger installation with nginx fails

Question

I'm running an ubuntu 9.10 server on an amd-64 platform. Everything's pretty much standard, and I've got Sinatra 0.94 running on a ruby 1.8 installation. I want to install passenger in order to easily configure ssl.

The problem is, it fails to find the installer.

I run

sudo gem install passenger

or

sudo gem install -r passenger

and then the next line,

passenger-install-nginx-module

or

passenger-install-apache2-module

both fail because the path isn't found.

Is there something I'm forgetting here? Shouldn't it just work, straight up, once the gem is installed?

Answer 1

A bit late for an answer I guess, but actually, the correct way of running the Phusion Passenger installer for nginx, when using RVM, is to use rvmsudo as in:

rvmsudo passenger-install-nginx-module
