Installing Phusion Passenger 4.0.20 on Ubuntu 13.10
So I'm trying to install Passenger on the newest version of KUbuntu (13.10). I installed Apache2 using the apache2-mpm-worker package using the Muon Package Manager. And these are the commands I ran.
rvmsudo gem install passenger
rvmsudo passenger-install-apache2-module
But I keep getting the following errors:

WARNING: Apache doesn't seem to be compiled with the 'prefork', 'worker' or 'event' MPM
Phusion Passenger has only been tested on Apache with the 'prefork', the
'worker' and the 'event' MPM. Your Apache installation is compiled with
the '' MPM. We recommend you to abort this installer and to recompile
Apache with either the 'prefork', the 'worker' or the 'event' MPM.
Press Ctrl-C to abort this installer (recommended).
Press Enter if you want to continue with installation anyway.
The result of my running apache2ctl -V is:

As can be seen, the server is compiled with the worker MPM, so why is passenger complaining? And how do I solve the above errors (warnings, really, but to be safe, I'd like to not have any warnings)?
Thanks.
Solution 1:
This is due to some missing environment variables. Try to run this first:
$ rvmsudo $SHELL
# source /etc/apache2/envvars
# export HOME=/home/USRNAME
This script sets the missing variables (change USRNAME accordingly).
Solution 2:
I see that you already solved this problem but for other people... Passenger now ships precompiled binaries for last ubuntu distribution, so there's no need to precompile with passenger-install-apache2-module on every upgrade.
I followed this instructions and it worked for me: http://www.modrails.com/documentation/Users%20guide%20Apache.html#install_on_debian_ubuntu
