[chef] Re: Re: Template not being written or silently failing in passenger-apache cookbook

[Tommy Fotak < >]

Hi Mike,

It ended up being an order of operations/dependency problem.  The 
application_ruby passenger_apache2 provider includes the recipe 
passenger_apache2::mod_rails. This in turn includes the default 
passenger_apache2 recipe. The default recipe in this scenario attempts to 
enable the passenger module before the templates are written by the 
passenger_apache2::mod_rails recipe.
