I have an apache/passenger server that run rails apps, and this error is displayed when I try to run passenger-status :
passenger-status
ERROR: Phusion Passenger(R) doesn't seem to be running. If you are sure that it is running, then the causes of this problem could be:
1. You customized the instance registry directory using Apache's PassengerInstanceRegistryDir option, Nginx's passenger_instance_registry_dir option, or Phusion Passenger(R) Standalone's --instance-registry-dir command line argument. If so, please set the environment variable PASSENGER_INSTANCE_REGISTRY_DIR to that directory and run passenger-status again.
2. The instance directory has been removed by an operating system background service. Please set a different instance registry directory using Apache's PassengerInstanceRegistryDir option, Nginx's passenger_instance_registry_dir option, or Phusion Passenger(R) Standalone's --instance-registry-dir command line argument.

Here is the passenger config in the apache foldermods-available
:
LoadModule passenger_module /home/admin/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.5.5/gems/passenger-6.0.8/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
<IfModule mod_passenger.c>
PassengerRoot /home/admin/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.5.5/gems/passenger-6.0.8
PassengerDefaultRuby /home/admin/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.5.5/wrappers/ruby
</IfModule>
I checked the /tmp/ folder and nothing look like a passenger temp folder. How can I find and/or setup the instance registry directory ?
