CentOS 5 + Passenger

Tip of the day: For anyone out there with CentOS 5, despite what Passenger thinks, your http-devel libraries likely are installed.

I was getting an error “you need to yum install http-devel” , which I had, but still getting the error.

If like me, the export APXS2 as per passenger docs doesn’t work, just add “/usr/local/apache/bin/” into your profile path and passenger will then work fine (I just checked by ensuring axps ran at the command prompt before running the passenger module install)

In theory then you should be good to go…

    That’s strange, we tested in CentOS 5 and it seemed to work just fine, without setting APXS2.

    A few people reported that setting APXS2 doesn’t work, but so far we’ve been unable to reproduce it. Could you post a comment at http://code.google.com/p/phusion-passenger/issues/detail?id=3 ? Thanks.
