Arch Linux

Description:

The Arch Linux passenger installation provides a helpful "getting started" message appreciated by this user. This message implies that the files have all been installed below /var/aur, which is not the case.

The message would be somewhat more helpful if the paths were adjusted to reflect what is actually installed.

Workaround is easy, of course: Look at output of

pacman -Ql passenger

Regards, and thank you for providing fine software,

Andreas

Here is an example of that message, as seen installing passenger-3.0.11-1 :

Please edit your Apache configuration file, and add these lines:

LoadModule passenger_module /var/aur/passenger3/src/passenger-3.0.0/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /var/aur/passenger3/src/passenger-3.0.0
PassengerRuby /opt/ruby1.8/bin/ruby

After you restart Apache, you are ready to deploy any number of Ruby on Rails
applications on Apache, without any further Ruby on Rails-specific
configuration!


Deploying a Ruby on Rails application: an example

Suppose you have a Ruby on Rails application in /somewhere. Add a virtual host
to your Apache configuration file, and set its DocumentRoot to
/somewhere/public, like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.yourhost.com
DocumentRoot /somewhere/public # <-- be sure to point to 'public'!
<Directory /somewhere/public>
AllowOverride all # <-- relax Apache security settings
Options -MultiViews # <-- MultiViews must be turned off
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

And that's it! You may also want to check the Users Guide for security and
optimization tips, troubleshooting and other useful information:

/var/aur/passenger3/src/passenger-3.0.0/doc/Users guide Apache.html


Steps to reproduce:

sudo pacman -R passenger && sudo pacman -S passenger
