It looks like something went wrong

Please read our documentation for troubleshooting tips:

   https://www.phusionpassenger.com/library/install/apache/
   https://www.phusionpassenger.com/library/admin/apache/troubleshooting/

If that doesn't help, please use our support facilities. We'll do our best to help you.

   https://www.phusionpassenger.com/support

• How can we reproduce it? Please try to provide a sample application (or Virtual Machine) demonstrating the issue. Otherwise, if we can't reproduce it, we might have to ask you a number of followup questions or run certain commands to try and figure out the problem.

Be as detailed as possible in your descriptions, include any logs and stack traces (don't just cut/paste the error, provide some logging before that too).

(if you are requesting a feature instead of reporting an issue, describe here what you have in mind and how it would help you)

Your answer:
Prepare the Virtual Machine with vagrant which use vm box of "centos/stream8".
Then it execute command of passenger-install-apache2-module.

Question 2: Passenger version and integration mode:

• For example: open source 5.0.26 standalone; enterprise 5.0.21/nginx

Your answer:
Phusion Passenger(R) 6.0.10

as a side note: In passenger 6.0.9, passenger-install-apache2-module command completes without error.

Question 3: OS or Linux distro, platform (including version):

• For example: Debian 8, x86_64 or OS X 10.10 Yosemite, x86_64

Your answer:
OS: CentOS Stream 8

Question 4: Passenger installation method:

Your answer:
[x] RubyGems + Gemfile
[ ] RubyGems, no Gemfile
[ ] Phusion APT repo
[ ] Phusion YUM repo
[ ] OS X Homebrew
[ ] source tarball
[ ] Other, please specify:

Question 5: Your app's programming language (including any version managers) and framework (including versions):

• For example: Ruby 2.3.0, RVM, Rails 5.0.0; Node.js 4.0.0 with Express 4.13.4

Your answer:
Ruby 3.0.2 (rbenv)

Question 6: Are you using a PaaS and/or containerization? If so which one?

• For example: Heroku, Amazon Container Services, Docker 1.9 with an image based on passenger-docker

Your answer:
No

Question 7: Anything else about your setup that we should know?

Your answer:

About workaround patch:
I guess that os_version parser is unexpected working when use CentOS Stream 8.
PlatformInfo.os_version return string of Stream with following code.
https://github.com/phusion/passenger/blob/release-6.0.10/src/ruby_supportlib/phusion_passenger/platform_info/operating_system.rb#L90

I seems that it fixed to replace following code.

          data =~ /^(.+?) (Linux |Stream )?(release |version )?(.+?)( |$)/i

And added CentOS version file for refarence.

• ref: /etc/redhat-release file in CentOS Stream 8

CentOS Stream release 8

• ref: /etc/redhat-release file in CentOS 7

CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core)
