We have updated alt-mod-passenger to version 5.3.7-2 on all of our servers. This release is for all servers using CloudLinux 6/7, EasyApache 4 and httpd24.

Changelog:

alt-mod-passenger 5.3.7-2

• ALMODP-112: Node.js handler is now disabled by default;
• ALMODP-111: PassengerFriendlyErrorPages and PassengerAppEnv Passenger directives are now allowed in htaccess.

With this update, directives such as PassengerFriendlyErrorPages and PassengerAppEnv can now be used from the .htaccess file. This lets end users see errors from their application during the development process. For example, if you add the PassengerAppEnv development or PassengerFriendlyErrorPages to the .htaccess file on the application page, and there is an error, you will see an error page with information about what went wrong.

This is much more convenient when developing and debugging an application. If the directives are turned off, you will still see an error page but no information will be shown.

This mode will be useful once the development process is finished, which means it's suitable for production mode. You can find more information about PassengerFriendlyErrorPages and PassengerAppEnv.
