我无法安装Phusion Passenger来运行Rails

Question

The problem is simple.

I use the following command to install Passenger

passenger-install-nginx-module

When Passenger automatically installs nginx, I can't launch it.

nginx -v

Returns there's no nginx installed.

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

Notice that passenger-install-nginx-module asks you where to install Nginx to? The nginx binary is in there. Make sure the appropriate directory is in your $PATH. If you don't know what $PATH is or how to use it then you should read a book about basic Unix/Linux command line skills.

Answer 2

You need install Nginx. the webserver.

If you use passenger 3 in standalone, you just need launch passenger start command

Answer 3

I solved this.

Actually, Passenger did install nginx, it just wasn't in the default category.

I recommend to tell passenger to install nginx in /usr/local/nginx
