Why is this permissions error occurring with mod_passenger.so?

Question

I\'m setting up a production RHEL 6 server with RVM and Passenger. I\'ve gotten through installing RVM (to my home dir), installing Passenger, and adding the required lines

Answer 1

It turned out to have to do with SELinux.

The Passenger docs discuss it here.

After you install Passenger, find the Passenger root...

passenger-config --root

Then run this...

chcon -R -h -t httpd_sys_content_t /path-to-passenger-root
