So I'm trying to install Passenger on the newest version of KUbuntu (13.10). I installed Apache2 using the apache2-mpm-worker package using the Muon Package Manager. And these are the commands I ran.

rvmsudo gem install passenger
rvmsudo passenger-install-apache2-module

But I keep getting the following errors:

WARNING: Apache doesn't seem to be compiled with the 'prefork', 'worker' or 'event' MPM

Phusion Passenger has only been tested on Apache with the 'prefork', the

the '' MPM. We recommend you to abort this installer and to recompile

Press Ctrl-C to abort this installer (recommended).
Press Enter if you want to continue with installation anyway.

The result of my running apache2ctl -V is:

Server version: Apache/2.4.6 (Ubuntu)

 -D DEFAULT_ERRORLOG="logs/error_log"
 -D AP_TYPES_CONFIG_FILE="mime.types"
 -D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="apache2.conf"

As can be seen, the server is compiled with the worker MPM, so why is passenger complaining? And how do I solve the above errors (warnings, really, but to be safe, I'd like to not have any warnings)?

Thanks.
