[DRE-maint] [Bug 696271] Re: Insufficient privileges for Passenger spawned application

[riban]

Passenger runs as root on Ubuntu (which is the owner of
/usr/share/redmine/config/environment.rb). The snippet you include does
not seem to have run because environment.rb has ownership root.root.
Either way, Passenger spawns the ruby application as user defined in
/etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.conf.
