Passenger Error: The application spawner server exited unexpectedly: Unexpected end-of-file detected
I got this error this morning after I thought it’d be a good idea to migrate my new Rails 3 app to Ruby 1.9.2.
Kind of a weird error because it doesn’t seem that helpful on the surface.
Digging into the Apache error logs revealed this error mesage:
[BUG] cross-thread violation on rb_gc()
(null)
Ok, now we’re getting somewhere. This is an error due to gems being compiled in a different version of Ruby. Ah, now it makes sense. I was using bundler with the path set to /my/app/gems and they were all compiled against REE 1.8.7.
rm -rf gems
bundle install --path gems
Fixed that problem. I then ran into another error message:
git://github.com/binarylogic/authlogic.git not checked out
I’m running the edge version of Authlogic and for some reason Passenger was having a hard time with it. Right, could be to do with me running preview 4 of Passenger 3. A quick
gem install passenger
and an update to httpd.conf later and my app was back.
