Description

Installs passenger using rvm, for Apache 2.

Requirements

Platform

Tested on Ubuntu 10.04. Should work on any Ubuntu/Debian platforms.

Cookbooks

cookbooks:

• apache2 (opscode)
• build-essential (opscode)
• rvm (https://github.com/fnichol/chef-rvm)

Attributes

• passenger[:rvm_path] - where is rvm installed (could use $rvm_path instead?)

• passenger[:rvm_ruby_version] - rvm ruby version ie. "1.9.3-p194"

• passenger[:rvm_gemset] - rvm gemset ie. "global"

• passenger[:version] - Specify the version of passenger to install.

• passenger[:max_pool_size] - Sets PassengerMaxPoolSize in the Apache module config.

• passenger[:root_path] - The location of the passenger gem.

• passenger[:module_path] - The location of the compiled passenger apache module.

Recipes

default

Installs the passenger gem.

mod_rails

Installs the passenger gem and enables the module in Apache2.

Usage

For example, to run a Rails application on passenger:

include_recipe "rails"
include_recipe "passenger_apache2"

web_app "myproj" do
  docroot "/srv/myproj/public"
  server_name "myproj.#{node[:domain]}"
  server_aliases [ "myproj", node[:hostname] ]
  rails_env "production"
end

A sample config template is provided, web_app.conf.erb. If this is suitable for your application, add 'cookbook "passenger"' to the define above to use that template. Otherwise, copy the template to the cookbook where you're using web_app, and modify as needed. The cookbook parameter is optional, if omitted it will search the cookbook where the define is used.
