Ruby Install guide stage 1:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To install Ruby on Ubuntu and configure it with Apache, you’ll first need to install Ruby and its dependencies, then configure Apache to use Ruby’s mod_ruby or a suitable alternative like mod_passenger. You can achieve this by using the APT package manager or a version manager like Rbenv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using APT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Code<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo apt update\n\nsudo apt install ruby-full<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nThis installs Ruby, RubyGems, and other essential dependencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using Rbenv:
Install dependencies:
Code<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo apt update\n\n sudo apt install git curl libssl-dev libreadline-dev zlib1g-dev autoconf bison build-essential libyaml-dev libreadline-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev libgdbm-dev<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nInstall Rbenv:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Code<\/p>\n\n\n\n
curl -fsSL https:\/\/github.com\/rbenv\/rbenv-installer\/raw\/HEAD\/bin\/rbenv-installer | bash<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nConfigure Rbenv:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Code<\/p>\n\n\n\n
echo 'export PATH=\"$HOME\/.rbenv\/bin:$PATH\"' >> ~\/.bashrc\n\n echo 'eval \"$(rbenv init -)\"' >> ~\/.bashrc\n\n source ~\/.bashrc<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nInstall a Ruby version:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Code<\/p>\n\n\n\n
rbenv install 3.2.3\n\n rbenv global 3.2.3\n\n\n\n rbenv install 3.4.2\n\n rbenv global 3.4.2<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n(Replace 3.2.3 with the desired Ruby version).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Configure Apache:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Install Apache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Code<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo apt install apache2<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nInstall mod_ruby (if using that method).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Code<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo apt install libapache2-mod-ruby2.7<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nConfigure Apache (example with mod_ruby):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Create a virtual host configuration file (e.g., \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/my-ruby-site.conf):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Code<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<VirtualHost *:80>\n\n ServerName your_domain.com\n\n DocumentRoot \/var\/www\/my-ruby-site\n\n\n\n <Directory \/var\/www\/my-ruby-site>\n\n Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews\n\n AllowOverride None\n\n Require all granted\n\n RubyInit \/usr\/local\/bin\/ruby # or the path to your ruby\n\n <\/Directory>\n\n\n\n RewriteEngine On\n\n RewriteRule ^\/app\/(.*) \/index.rb?path=$1 [L]\n\n <\/VirtualHost><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nEnable the virtual host:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Code<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo a2ensite my-ruby-site.conf\n\n sudo apache2ctl restart<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nSTAGE 2:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To configure Passenger with Apache, you need to add specific configuration snippets to your Apache configuration file, typically httpd.conf or apache2.conf. You can achieve this by using the
command, which will guide you through the process and provide the necessary snippets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Steps:
Install Passenger: Make sure you have Passenger installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Run the installer: Execute the passenger-install-apache2-modcd \/etc\/apache2
command in your terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Follow the prompts: The installer will guide you through the process, including asking you to copy and paste the generated configuration snippets into your Apache configuration file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Identify the configuration file: Determine the location of your Apache configuration file (e.g., \/etc\/httpd\/httpd.conf or \/etc\/apache2\/apache2.conf).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add the snippets: Open the configuration file and paste the LoadModule directive and the other Passenger configuration options provided by the installer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enable the module: Use the command sudo a2enmod passenger (or similar, depending on your system) to enable the Passenger module, says the Phusion Passenger documentation .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Restart Apache: Restart your Apache server to apply the changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Example snippets:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The passenger-install-apache2-module command will generate snippets similar to these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Code
LoadModule passenger_module \/path\/to\/passenger\/lib\/httpd\/mod_passenger.so PassengerRoot \/path\/to\/passenger PassengerRuby \/path\/to\/ruby\/bin\/ruby PassengerAppRoot \/path\/to\/your\/rails\/app # Other Passenger settings<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notes:
Replace \/path\/to\/passenger, \/path\/to\/ruby\/bin\/ruby , and \/path\/to\/your\/rails\/app with the actual paths to your Passenger installation, Ruby interpreter, and Rails application, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The exact snippets and commands may vary slightly depending on your operating system, Apache version, and Passenger version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LoadModule passenger_module \/root\/.rbenv\/versions\/3.4.2\/lib\/ruby\/gems\/3.4.0\/gems\/passenger-6.0.27\/buildout\/apache2\/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot \/root\/.rbenv\/versions\/3.4.2\/lib\/ruby\/gems\/3.4.0\/gems\/passenger-6.0.27 PassengerDefaultRuby \/root\/.rbenv\/versions\/3.4.2\/bin\/ruby<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stage 3:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have come across a cleaner solution today. This might help future users. The command –<\/p>\n\n\n\n
passenger-install-apache2-module
tells me to put these three lines in apache configuration file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LoadModule passenger_module \/root\/.rbenv\/versions\/3.4.2\/lib\/ruby\/gems\/3.4.0\/gems\/passenger-6.0.27\/buildout\/apache2\/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot \/root\/.rbenv\/versions\/3.4.2\/lib\/ruby\/gems\/3.4.0\/gems\/passenger-6.0.27 PassengerDefaultRuby \/root\/.rbenv\/versions\/3.4.2\/bin\/ruby<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, where is that configuration file? The answer is the configuration files are seperated into many pieces and they reside in \/etc\/apache2\/mods-available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So you should do three things –<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Create a file ending with .load in \/etc\/apache2\/mods-available folder. I used passenger.load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paste the three lines in that file and save the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now in terminal use sudo a2enmod to enable the module. In my case, the file was, passenger.load. So, I used<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo a2enmod passenger
Now, restart the server and use the command apache2ctl -M to find that passenger module is enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stage 4:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to apache2.conf:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AddHandler application\/x-ruby .rb .rbx<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LoadModule mime_module libexec\/apache2\/mod_mime.so<\/p>\n\n\n\n
systemctl restart apache2<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
