i want to install phusion passenger together with ruby enterprise edition on x86_64 SMP ubuntu 10.04. the recommended option seems to be
apache2-mpm-worker
but when i run passenger-install-apache2-module
the installation routine of phusion passenger complains
To install Apache 2 development
headers: Please run apt-get install
apache2-prefork-dev as root.
why do we need prefork-dev here, if we clearly want to run passenger with mpm-worker apache2?
any suggestions? is there a worker-dev package?
The worker dev package on Debian & Ubuntu is “apache2-threaded-dev”.
Apt-file shows that this installs /usr/bin/apxs2 among other things, so I think this is what you’re looking for. By the way, I found this package by using “apt-cache search apache mpm dev”.
