I just ran into this exact same problem. It turned out to be SELinux preventing Apache from loading the Phusion Passenger watchdog:
[Thu Sep 19 18:53:32 2013] [error] *** Passenger could not be initialized because of this error: Unable to start the Phusion Passenger watchdog (/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-3.0.21/agents/PassengerWatchdog): Permission denied (13) I temporarily put SELinux into permissive mode like this: echo 0 >/selinux/enforce Then restarted Apache. No more Passenger initialization error, and the puppet agent is now working fine. I'm not yet sure exactly how to fix this "properly" (i.e. configuring SELinux to allow Apache to load the file), but I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader :-) Hope it helps!
