title: Passenger Errors in Ruby 1.9.3 Hashes
body: <p>I am trying to set up my <em>Rails</em> app on <em>Apache</em>.
  I am using Passenger to load my <em>Rails App</em>. It seems like <em>Passenger</em> does not support the new Ruby hash format <code>x: y</code> but supports the old one <code>:x =&gt; y</code>. The Ruby version I am using is <code>1.9.3</code></p>
  
  <p>This is the error message I get:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>categories_controller.rb:12: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting '}' format.json { render json: @categories }
  categories_controller.rb:23: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting '}' format.json { render json: @category }

  categories_controller.rb:70: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting '=' ...son: @category.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any work around for this . I don't want to convert all hashes to :x => y format.</p>
