nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "passenger_enabled"
In my opinion, nginx in a way is better than Apache. It has low memory footprint and configuring it was easier and in straightforward manner. I was helping out a friend who is a Ruby On Rails developer migrating his Apache based server to Nginx couple of days back. When he tried to start nginx server, he got these error messages :
nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "passenger_enabled" in /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:6
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
Upon further investigation, the error messages indicate that nginx was compiled without Phusion Passenger support.
To fix this :
sudo gem install passenger
cd /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-2.2.11/bin
sudo ./passenger-install-nginx-module
restart nginx and the error message is gone.
