Oh damn, I forgot that Heroku has broken GID databases and that we're supposed to deal with that. Thanks for reporting this.

Also, if you're on Heroku, please use the Nginx engine instead of the builtin engine. The Nginx engine works better on Heroku.

passenger start [...] --engine=nginx

[cwoodcox]

Is this gonna get released in another beta? I just updated to beta2 and it's totally busted on Heroku.

EDIT: Added --engine ngnix to my Procfile and that fixes it.

[FooBarWidget]

Yes it is. It's slated for beta 3, which isn't out yet.
