A Mac OS X system preference pane which aids in quickly setting up Rails applications with Phusion Passenger.
Features include:
-
Drag and drop support
-
Managing hostnames without cluttering /etc/hosts
Obviously required. Version 1.2 www.fngtps.com/files/2/2008/12/PassengerPane-1.2.tgz
Also a no brainer. You’ll need at least version 2.0.1. rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=5873&release_id=23286
PassengerPane needs at least RubyCocoa 0.13.2, which can be acquired in the following ways:
-
Included on Mac OS X since version 10.5.2
-
Binary installer or source sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=44114&package_id=36578
Note that if you wish to use a custom Ruby, not the default Apple Ruby, you will have to install RubyCocoa from source as well. See rubycocoa.sourceforge.net/GettingStarted for more info on this topic.
PassengerPane is designed to work with the default Apache 2 installation supplied by Apple on Mac OS X 10.5.
Included with the archive you’ll find a file called “passenger_pane_config.rb.ports”, this file should be a drop in replacement to work with Apache 2 as installed by MacPorts. Replace Passenger.prefPane/Contents/Resources/passenger_pane_config.rb with this file or your own custom config.
Before creating a bug report, please check that you are using a RubyCocoa matching your Ruby installation and have met all other requirements mentioned above.
If the problem persist, or you have a feature request or better yet a patch, you can file a ticket at: fingertips.lighthouseapp.com/projects/13022

Rack support. Thanks to Kematzy for the original suggestion/work.

Fixed “issue” people had with the default non-vhost based directory not working anymore. Thanks to “spike” for debugging this.
