So I wanted to experiment with Phusion Passenger on my home server. The server runs Ubuntu 8.10 and serves a bunch of small low-traffic sites through apache (including this blog). I saw that there was a package from brightbox for passenger on ubuntu and tried to install it. However, this package automatically disables the php5 apache module. I have no idea why, it is possible to run both php and passenger apps from the same apache. Anyway this clobbered all my wordpress blogs (I know, I should always read the messages carefully…) and I had to reinstall php5. If you want to install passenger on Ubuntu 8.10, use this approach.
