Passenger-install-apache2-module on local OS X dev machine with RVM is asking me to install a different ruby?

You're using RVM incorrectly. Just run passenger-install-apache2-module not rvm passenger-install-apache2-module . The former runs the command directly, the latter is for telling RVM to switch the currently active Ruby interpreter to one named passenger-install-apache2-module which doesn't make any sense.

Hmm...not sure. What I personally do is install RVM first and install a Ruby version and all needed gems, and THEN run the passenger install. Looks like you're on the right track as far as the Passenger install goes, step one is running 'sudo gem install passenger,' step two is sudo passenger-install-apache2-module', and step three is copying the lines that the prompt gives you to your httpd.

Conf file at /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf. (NOTE: If you're using RVM, don't run 'sudo' on those commands.).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
