Mongrel users - Jun 2006 - Running Mongrel Cluster on boot

I''ve installed pen and mongrel with mongrel_cluster (as gems) on
Debian sarge. I can run everything from the command line fine
including starting from the /etc/init.d/mongrel_cluster script

On boot though mongrel_cluster fails with this msg:
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:204:in
`report_activate_error'': Could not find RubyGem mongrel_cluster (>
0)
(Gem::LoadError)
       from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:141:in `activate''
       from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:37:in
`require_gem_with_options''
       from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:31:in
`require_gem''
       from /usr/bin/mongrel_cluster_ctl:17


This may be more of a ruby gems question, but any thoughts/help would
be appreciated.

Thanks,

Are you using the debian package of ruby or did you build it yourself in
/usr/local?

Can you manually go around and look to see where the gem is installed?

/usr/lib/ruby/gems
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/gems

do you have some weird combined installation of the deb and build from
source?

Depending how you set things up, you may need to install mongrel_cluster
again:

  gem install mongrel_cluster

If that don''t work then try removing it and installing it again.

It turns out it is an issue with the path. Exporting the path:

export
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11

just below the CONF_DIR fixed the problem, and now mongrel starts on boot.

Thanks for the help,
