The cPanel. nodejs. error "Apache Passenger is required by Node.js Selector. Please, contact your hoster"

It looks like you're trying to use the Node.js Selector in cPanel, but you're encountering an error that states "Apache Passenger is required by Node.js Selector."

Here's what you can do to address this:

  1. Contact Your Hosting Provider: As the error message suggests, it's best to start by getting in touch with your hosting provider. They should be able to assist you in enabling Apache Passenger for Node.js Selector.

  2. Check cPanel Configuration: If you have access to your cPanel settings, check if there's an option to enable Apache Passenger or if it's already enabled. It's possible that it needs to be activated.

  3. Install Apache Passenger: If Apache Passenger is not installed on your server, you may need to install it. This can typically be done through your hosting provider's control panel or by contacting their support.

  4. Verify Node.js Installation: After ensuring Apache Passenger is installed, verify that Node.js is also properly installed and configured on your server. Use the node -v command via SSH to check the Node.js version.

  5. Review Hosting Documentation: Look through the documentation provided by your hosting provider. They may have specific instructions or requirements for running Node.js applications with cPanel and Apache Passenger.

  6. Consider a Different Hosting Provider: If your current hosting provider doesn't support the required configurations, and you need Node.js for your application, you might need to consider switching to a different hosting provider that offers the necessary support.

Remember that the exact steps and options may vary depending on your hosting provider and the specific configuration of your server. If you're not comfortable making these changes yourself, don't hesitate to reach out to your hosting provider's support team for assistance. They should be able to guide you through the process or make the necessary adjustments on your behalf.
