#122 Passenger in Development

Tired of juggling multiple Rails apps around with script/server? See how to set up Passenger in development so each one has its own local domain name.
Sorry to make this platform specific. It looks like Passenger isn’t available on Windows.

sudo gem install passenger
sudo passenger-install-apache2-module
mate /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
sudo apachectl graceful
mate /etc/hosts
tail -f log/development
touch tmp/restart.txt


# /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

LoadModule passenger_module /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.0.2/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
