Rails - Oct 2009 - Newbie Alert: RoR on Passenger issue

Hi,

Just finished installing RoR on my brand new linode Ubuntu 9.04 VPS using
following guides:
http://library.linode.com/web-frameworks/ruby-on-rails/installing-ruby-on-rails-with-apache
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RubyOnRails

However, when I click on "About your application''s
environment" I get
following error:

Passenger encountered the following error:

The application spawner server exited unexpectedly

Any ideas please?

Thanks for reading.

I''ve got absolutely the same problem, but with 9.10, following the same
guide on linode library.

Did you restart Apache?

Yep, I even tried restarting the whole server and it didn''t help.

Any gems installed apart from the default ones?

There''s no real error in the OP. Are you sure your message states the
exact same? What does the rest of your server setup look like?

I''ve found similar reports with no real error messages on the net, but
those problems appear to be caused by memory limits and such. Could
that be a problem on your setup?

Uh now I feel really stupid, it seems that I didn''t check the whole
log,
it is pretty different

anyway, I have set up virtual machine with 512MB RAM, 8GB HDD and the 
only thing that is runnig there is Apache, Mysql and Passenger, so I 
guess there is no problem with memory
