Kent, How did you install rubygems? Could it be rack is in ~/.gems and not in the system site ruby directory?
Also, there are well tested RPM packages for rubygems, passenger, rack and fastthread for EL 5 which available at http://yum.puppetlabs.com/prosvc/ These RPM's may help you out since they're sure to put everything in the system ruby 1.8.5 site_ruby library path. Hope this helps. If you're still having trouble, please post your apache vhost config file and config.ru you're using as well as how you've installed puppet (RPM, gem or source, etc...) -- Jeff McCune - (+1-503-208-4484) On Nov 16, 2010, at 11:04 AM, Kent <kentmshu...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am getting the following error in my Apache error log when trying to > run my puppetmaster as a rack app with Passenger: > > *** Exception LoadError in PhusionPassenger::Rack::ApplicationSpawner > (no such file to load -- rack) (process 32373): > > Apache will start up without error, but as soon as a puppet client > connects, the error is thrown. > > Passenger is dying at a "require 'rack'" statement in the rack > application spawner code.
