I’m trying to deploy a rails project for the first time with Passenger. I’ve followed the guide on Passenger’s site with the passenger gem and used ‘passenger-install-apache2-module’ and pasted the three lines into my httpd.conf. However, I noticed that when I tried to run passenger start in my project directory, it tried install passenger for nginx again, and when that finished, I was able to do ‘passenger start’. The issue that I’ve noticed is that when I removed the three lines from my httpd.conf I was still able to run ‘passenger start and seemingly to have started the server. My question hence becomes how would I determine if my passenger gem was installed for apache or nginx?
Thanks!
‘passenger start’ does not use your apache or nginx installation. It uses it’s own in built webserver which is based on nginx. It starts on port 3000 by default.
