Mark,
look at

It should help you to run passenger with SELinux ;-).

Also which version of Fedora do you have? The Step 5 is not necessary 
for Fedora14+ since the passenger policy is shipped in these releases.

So if you have Fedora 14+ your Step 5 will be:

# restorecon -R -v /var/lib/passenger /var/run/passenger
# restorecon -R -v 
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.15/ext/apache2/ApplicationPoolServerExecutable
