System Requirements¶

It is assumed that the Server Edition is installed on the system in this guide.

Web Server¶

Nginx/Passenger¶

The Fedora nginx package do not include Passenger, so you have to build nginx with the passenger module. The guide assume that the sources are extracted under the directory /opt . The nginx software will be installed at /opt/ngnix. At the time of writting that guide this was the current stable releases of passenger and nginx:

• passenger-6.0.0
• nginx-1.14.2

Downloading the sources:¶

Passenger

> cd /opt
> wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/phusion-passenger/releases/passenger-6.0.0.tar.gz
> tar xf passenger-6.0.0.tar.gz

Nginx

> wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.14.2.tar.gz
> mkdir /opt/src
> cd /opt/src
> tar xf nginx-1.14.2.tar.gz

Installing additional packages¶

For the build of passenger and nginx the following additional packages are needed to be installed:

> dnf install install gcc-c++ libcurl-devel openssl-devel zlib-devel

Execute the ruby script for building and installing¶

The simplest way to build and install the nginx web server with the passenger module is to run the script passenger-install-nginx-module.

> /opt/passenger-6.0.0/bin
> ./passenger-install-nginx-module --prefix=/opt/nginx --nginx-source-dir=/opt/src/nginx-1.14.2 --languages ruby

With the same passenger locality the installer modify the nginx configuration file /opt/nginx/conf/nginx.conf and output the same text:

  http {
      ...
      passenger_root /opt/passenger-6.0.0;
      passenger_ruby /usr/bin/ruby;
      ...
  }

Apache¶
