Jeff,
I have about the same setup except that I''m running Suse instead of
Solaris. I also found that, after installing openldap and ruby/ldap, I
could run unittests and get an ldap connection in the irb, but I had
totally consistent ldap failures (albeit with slightly different
symptoms) trying to run ldap under webrick.
I finally figured out that if I let ''boot.rb'' run before I
required
''ldap'', I got failures. I ended up putting a require
''ldap'' in
script/server and in my environment.rb before the Rails configuration stuff.
I read something recently about an oci8 method conflicting with
something in ldap... which may be related. If you search the newsgroup
you should find that post.
Anyway, it''s worth sticking a require in your script/server to see if
it
helps.
FWIW, ldap works find under mongrel for me, I didn''t have to change a
thing....
Good luck,
Sandi
