Mac Phusion Passenger Pane not working

Rails
1

I have a feeling that this is something centered around my
apache/Passenger configurations but everything seems to check out.

Another off the hand problem I’m having, and might be a clue is w/ my
Passenger Pane. I installed the Phusion Passenger Pane and every time
I try to add an entry, I get this error:

“Your changes couldn’t be saved
See the Console log for details.”

So what did the console log say?

I wasn’t sure exactly which the console log was for the Passenger Pane.
I checked all Apache logs as well as the development.log of the project.

open the console app (/applications/utilities/console) and check the
console messages section

Been googling these errors and so far, no luck.

Found the solution!

The Fix:
the fix is to make a symlink from where Ruby is installed to where the
Passenger Pane expects it to be installed.

NOTE: Before you run the symlink command you should probably remove the
Passenger preference pane, done by right-clicking on it and selecting
Remove “Passenger” Preference Pane.

which ruby (to get your ruby path)

To make the symlink, run the command: ln -s /opt/local/bin/ruby
/usr/bin/ruby.

Reinstall the Passenger Preference Pane and try adding a project.

Big thanks for your help Fred!
