If you are using Ruby on Rails with Apache (or Apache ITK) and mod_passenger and you get an error while you are trying to upload a file through Rails application, you are probably facing the problem of wrong permissions set in the webserver_private directory of passenger.
Passenger is not currently supporting ITK and is not changing the ownership of the files/dirs correctly.

This is a hint for all those who are happy users of IA-64 and Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy) and would like to upgrade to 9.04 (karmic).
The upgrade process is as simple as editing /etc/apt/sources.list, changing hardy to karmic and doing apt-get dist-upgrade. After that however, you will experience a blank screen with flashing cursor after initrd is loaded. It seems that there is a problem with some changed features in the kernel.
As I didn’t have enough patience and time to recompile the kernel milion times, I thought about a little trick. I have used the config of the working kernel from hardy as a base and built a new kernel for 9.04.
I have used the same approach to upgrade from 8.04 to 9.04. Firstly, from hardy to karmic, and then from karmic to lucid. And it works perfectly!
