when i paste this code in MAMP's httpd.conf:

LoadModule passenger_module /Volumes/Private/ajsie/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.1-p378/gems/passenger-2.2.14/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /Volumes/Private/ajsie/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.1-p378/gems/passenger-2.2.14
PassengerRuby /Volumes/Private/ajsie/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.1-p378/bin/ruby

then MAMP wont start.

i have checked that the paths are correct.

does anyone else have the same problem with MAMP and passenger?

I am also getting this issue with MAMP and passenger. Is apache spitting anything useful in the error logs. I'm getting:

[Wed Jun 16 16:07:39 2010] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest authentication ...
[Wed Jun 16 16:07:39 2010] [notice] Digest: done
[Wed Jun 16 16:07:39 2010] [notice] Apache configured -- resuming normal operations
[Wed Jun 16 16:09:29 2010] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down

I'm also assuming when you installed passenger-install-apache2-module it didn't come up with any errors about finding Apache.

Anyone have a fix for this? I am going crazy!

I think it's because passenger has been "compiled" against the osx built-in apache headers. If you're using MAMP, you should compile it against MAMP's built-in apache headers.

I don't know how to specify which apache I'm using when I install it:

$sudo passenger-install-apache2-module
