This probably means that your Phusion Passenger installation is broken or incomplete, or that your 'PassengerRoot' directive is set to the wrong value. Please reinstall Phusion Passenger or fix your 'PassengerRoot' directive, whichever is applicable. PassengerWatchdog has actually been installed in /usr/lib64/gems/exts/passenger-3.0.17/agents/PassengerWatchdog. I worked around the problem by creating the following two symlinks: ln -s /usr/lib64/gems/exts/passenger-3.0.17/agents /usr/share/gems/gems/passenger-3.0.17/ ln -s /usr/lib64/gems/exts/passenger-3.0.17/lib/native /usr/share/gems/gems/passenger-3.0.17/lib/ Reproducible: Always
I'm unable to duplicate this issue on a clean install of F17. Can you retry with a clean install and see if you have the same issue?

I just ran into the same problem (although, on CentOS 6.4). The problem started after I installed rubygem-passenger-devel (rubygem-passenger-devel-3.0.17-2.el6.1.x86_64) from EPEL, which puts files into /usr/share/rubygems/gems/passenger-3.0.17/ for my distro. After uninstalling rubygem-passenger-devel and restarting apache, the error went away.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
