Installs passenger for Rails / Rack / Merb hosting.

Tested on Ubuntu 8.10. May work on other platforms, esp Ubuntu/Debian. May need work to function on CentOS/Fedora/RHEL.

Opscode cookbooks, github.com/opscode/cookbooks/tree/master:

• ruby

• apache2 (web_app)

• rails

• passenger - Specify the version of passenger to install.

• passenger - The location of the passenger gem.

• passenger - The location of the compiled passenger apache module.

• passenger - File to use for loading the passenger apache module.

• passenger - Additional passenger module configuration.

The last two are activated with apache_module.

For example, to run a Rails application on passenger:

include_recipe "rails"
include_recipe "passenger"

web_app "myproj" do
  docroot "/srv/myproj/public"
  server_name "myproj.#{node[:domain]}"
  server_aliases [ "myproj", node[:hostname] ]
  rails_env "production"
end

A sample config template is provided, web_app.conf.erb. If this is suitable for your application, add ‘cookbook “passenger”’ to the define above to use that template. Otherwise, copy the template to the cookbook where you’re using web_app, and modify as needed. The cookbook parameter is optional, if omitted it will search the cookbook where the define is used.
