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!

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!
@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.
