I’ve been debugging this more than one day, and no luck,

After I install ruby, gems, and Passenger, I tried to start Passenger, but I keep getting “Could not find passenger”:

    Did you make sure that passenger is in your Gemfile? I see you installed bundler and I think that is related to the ruby_noexec_wrapper in your stack trace.
