Ruby Upgrade permission error(Errno::EACCES)

I had ruby v1.9 installed ( and am running a few rails applications, e.g: redmine). I wanted to install GitLab, which required ruby >2.0. So I installed ruby following this guideline( compiled from source). Now after GitLab installation finished i restarted apache, now redmine has stopped working. Tried running gem install bundler and bundle install both of them gave the following error: 

ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)
Permission denied @ rb_sysopen - /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/bundler-1.10.5/.gitignore

I am guessing that I cannot run them cause they are in folders that only root can access. Anyway, now running with sudo didn't solve the problem. Apache log shows the following error:

I am guessing that application is trying to use old ruby path, which is unavailable. Can somebody provide a solution that would solve this issue?

So I found out the problem. The main problem was that /etc/apache2/apache2.conf had the wrong path for passenger. That was the main reason for apache log error. I fixed that by re-running sudo passenger-install-apache2-module. As pointed out by @Srdjan, I had to install passenger specific to ruby version installed. After that it worked.

In the short term, I suggest you install rvm, https://rvm.io and then using it, install Ruby 1.9.

This way, you can keep redmine on 1.9 by setting up a .ruby_version file within its directory that auto-selects the 1.9 version. The rest of your system will use the system ruby, it being 2.x.

In the long term, you need to find out how to upgrade redmine to work on 2.x Ruby. Also, you might need to install Phusion Passenger specific to the 2.x Ruby and configure Apache to use that.
