Question
Is there a good, up-to-date production guide to installing RVM, Passenger and nginx on CentOS?

I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to get rvm and passenger to work on CentOS 6.4. Are there any good guides for setting it up in a production environment? The Passenger tutorials don’t seem to work and rvm doesn’t seem to even install properly.
Thanks!

@conner.fritz - glad you got it to work :] You might have a lot of processes on your droplet so there wasn’t enough RAM for the installer module.
I had been trying to follow a few of those to no luck. I finally found out the issue: the nginx installer module requires more than 512mb of RAM to operate. I upgraded to the next level (1GB) and now it’s working perfectly. Thanks for the help!
