Question

i’ve installed passenger and then apache2. all is ok, but when i want to start passenger on 80 port it says:

*** ERROR ***
The address 0.0.0.0:80 is already in use by another process, perhaps another
Phusion Passenger Standalone instance.

If you want to run this Phusion Passenger Standalone instance on another port,
use the -p option, like this:

  passenger start -p 81

and on the 80 port works apache2. so they don’t work together. and if i want to start passenger on 80 port, i have to disable apache2. is it correct? or how i should change settings?
now i’ve done:
/etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.conf :

PassengerRoot /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.14                                                 
PassengerRuby /usr/bin/ruby1.8

/etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.load :

LoadModule passenger_module /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-3.0.9/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so

and nothing else. thanks for your answers

I might not have exactly the correct terminology here, but Passenger is a module that runs inside Apache2. You don’t start them independently. You just start Apache2 and then it loads up Passenger.
