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

[Simon Bazley]

(I'd guess that it passenger becomes nobody if it finds that it is root).  
So either way a fix is needed, either:-
1) Add PassengerDefaultUser www-data to passenger.conf 
or 
2) Add code to the package script, to set the ownership of environment.rb to www-data

#1 would seem to me to be the best solution as #2 is a little obscure if
you're not familiar with passenger and how it works.
