Answer 1

Been fighting this one also. I've found that doing a

bundle --deployment

does the trick. See the post here: Rails 3: Passenger can't find git gems installed by bundler

Seems a bit hacky to me however. Would like to know if this is an issue with Passenger or bundler? Is it version specific, etc...
