I think you should be able to point your apache 'PassengerRuby' directive at the SCL ruby and be good to go. Another alternative that I'd recommend is to use the new puppetserver package, which runs the master under JRuby and replaces the whole Apache+Passenger+MRI ruby part of the stack. > The big concern I have relates to how advisable it is to use a different > version of ruby on the master vs. all of the clients?

That's why it's been possible to move to JRuby under Puppet Server and leave the agents as they are on MRI. --eric0 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
