I inherited a rails membership database that was basically working,
though it came with no documentation.
For context: the database manages members of a CSA (community
supported agriculture) organization. So there is a lot specialized
stuff like multiple waiting lists and volunteer hours to keep track of
and invoices to generate. The whole thing was built by a volunteer who
is long gone, or mostly gone. He definitely doesn''t have time to teach
me rails. He turned over the database and I tried to get it going on
Dreamhost, but ... nope.
First off, it won''t launch:
<code>

/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:317:in `activate'':

from public/dispatch.fcgi:21:in `require''

</code>
Some searching around suggests to me that the problem is connected to
(maybe?) a change in Rails versions. I''m looking at this:
http://www.texperts.com/2007/12/21/using-action-web-service-with-rails-20/
And thinking that I might be jumping to conclusions, though line 55 of
environment.rb does say ...
55 require ''action_web_service''
Any caveats or suggestions? Is there a better way to approach this?

It sounds like the app starts off loading rails 2, then tries to load actionwebservice but can only find a 1.2.6 gem, which in turn depends on activesupport from rails 1.2.6 which can''t be loaded because the one from rails 2.0.2 is already loaded.

Thanks, Fred. I''m on Dreamhost. From my read of comments at: http://blog.dreamhosters.com/2008/01/06/ruby-on-rails-upgraded-to-202/ It sounds like I could manually edit my environment.rb to force an older rails version, but I''m not sure how. This helpful page: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/GemRails describes how to force individual gems versions. (In case you haven''t pieced it together, I have a related issue which is that I''m missing any call to Rails::Initializer in this app) Ignore this for now. Or don''t. I have a basic app, the output of "rails myapp" and I can see where it does have those lines: ./myapp/config/boot.rb: defined? Rails::Initializer ./myapp/config/boot.rb: Rails::Initializer.run(:set_load_path) ./myapp/config/environment.rb:Rails::Initializer.run do |config| On May 13, 4:25 am, Frederick Cheung <frederick.che...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Some searching around suggests to me that the problem is connected to > > (maybe?) a change in Rails versions.

By the way, your explanation of this is crystal clear and I really appreciate your taking the time to get me even this far. Thanks!

Really old? well, if January was a zillion years ago, I''d say this app is paloelithic, yes.
