You didn't mention what OS you are using. You didn't give any links to the instructions you were following. And you didn't provide the error messages about the database not being found. So it is rather difficult to help. First thing I would probably do is try to get things running without passenger - just to see that you have your databases and gems installed correctly. Once you can run the app by typing "rails server" in the top level directory of your rails project, then I would install and configure Rails.
If you are starting over, you could try installing Ruby Enterprise Edition - that installer will install ruby, rails, and passenger - and give you instructions for next steps. But I would only try that now if you want to uninstall the current ruby and start again. I am just about at the same point you are with my new server, except my Postgresql is in an odd location and I am having trouble figuring out where to add the library location in my RVM + Passenger stack.
