two passenger installs

[robertgarrigos]

Following directions to install on ubuntu 18.04 I'm getting this message when validating passenger install, which is not the expected:

passenger-config validate-install

That's because the gem introduced into Decidim installs that extra passenger binary. However In the manual we are using the one coming from the repositories. As far as I know, it's not a problem. The configuration for which passenger version are we using are in thiese files:

more /etc/nginx/conf.d/mod-http-passenger.conf
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/phusion_passenger/locations.ini

[robertgarrigos]

I actually followed your manual, though.

Can confim that as of this AM if you follow the guide you will end up with this error and have to edit /etc/nginx/conf.d/mod-http-passenger.conf so that the line passenger_ruby is passenger_ruby /home/decidim/.rbenv/shims/ruby;

@psaunders As of today, this in included in the guide, so I've got no errors.

[robertgarrigos]

Better mark this as fixed, then. Feel free top open it if you encounter with this error again.

Good morning, I did follow the guide for manual installation. Did on an AWS EC2 Ubuntu instance. Had the same error, two passenger installed, did modify to point to: passenger_ruby /home/decidim/.rbenv/shims/ruby;

And edit the decidim.conf file as supposed with the DNS of the EC2 instance...

server { listen 80; listen [::]:80 ipv6only=on;

server_name ec2-Instance-IP.compute-1.amazonaws.com;
client_max_body_size 32M;

passenger_enabled on;
passenger_ruby /home/decidim/.rbenv/shims/ruby;

rails_env    production;
root         /home/decidim/decidim-app/public;

}

an have 404 error

In your case, you have installed the /home/decidim/.rbenv/versions/2.5.1/bin/passenger by using rbenv. You can execute the uninstall of this second version by running "gem uninstall passenger". This also works for rvm btw, this is what my environment looked like:

* Checking whether this Passenger install is in PATH... ✓
 * Checking whether there are no other Passenger installations... (!)

   You are currently validating against Phusion Passenger(R) 6.0.18, located in:

     /usr/bin/passenger

   Besides this Passenger installation, the following other
   Passenger installations have also been detected:

     /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.7.3/bin/passenger

   Please uninstall these other Passenger installations to avoid
   confusion or conflicts.

and after executing the gem uninstall I get this:

Checking whether this Passenger install is in PATH... ✓
 * Checking whether there are no other Passenger installations... ✓

Everything looks good. :-)

problem solved!
