Mac OsX - Phusion Passenger installation error

Question

I'm trying to set up Phusion Passenger on Mac OsX and have been getting errors. I installed the Passenger using Homebrew:

brew update
brew install passenger

successfully. I then restarted the computer and ran

sudo passenger-install-apache2-module

and choose the option to install it for Ruby when prompted. However, the setup doesn't complete successfully. All of the returned code doesn't fit in this post but the following is the final section:

Here is what I am using:
Mac OsX 10.9.5
Phusion Passenger 4.0.52 (installed with Homebrew)
Ruby 2.0.0p481
Rails 4.0.0
Terminal as my command line interface

Any idea what could be causing the above? How do I move past it? I've been stuck on the Passenger installation for a few days and could really use the help. Let me know if there's anything else I can provide as well. Thanks, guys!

Answer 1

I then restarted the computer and ran sudo passenger-install-apache2-module

passenger-install-apache2-module is supposed to work. Since it doesn't work, this is a bug which must be fixed. I've taken note of it .

Anyway, you didn't have to run passenger-install-apache2-module in the first place. The Homebrew receipe already compiles the Apache module for you. In fact, if you look at the installation documentation, there are no instructions in the Homebrew section that tell you to run passenger-install-apache2-module. In the Homebrew caveats, you'll see that it specifically instructs you to edit the Apache configuration to insert the Phusion Passenger module snippet.
