I''m running rails 2.1.2 on a hostmonster.com server where I don''t have control over the web server for restarts. My problem is that I can install gems, but they don''t seem to work and my app can never find them and throws errors. The relevant lines in my environment.rb ------------- Rails::Initializer.run do |config| ... config.gem "ezcrypto" config.gem "acts_as_secure" ... end ------------- Now when I try to run ruby script/console I get: ------------- Loading development environment (Rails 2.1.2) Missing these required gems: ezcrypto acts_as_secure You''re running: ruby 1.8.6.287 at /usr/bin/ruby rubygems 1.3.1 at /home/marlibau/.gem/ruby/1.8, /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 Run `rake gems:install` to install the missing gems. ------------- I can run rake gems:install, and it produces this output: ------------- (in /home/myuser/rails/my_app) gem install ezcrypto Successfully installed ezcrypto-0.7 1 gem installed Installing ri documentation for ezcrypto-0.7... Installing RDoc documentation for ezcrypto-0.7... gem install acts_as_secure Successfully installed acts_as_secure-0.0.3 1 gem installed ------------- But then if I run ruby script/console, it throws the same error as before. During all this my app otherwise runs correctly except it can''t use the gems. When the web server does restart, then my app stops working and throws: ------------- Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, webmaster-Be5UZtO0wH60A+T+5fMwOA@public.gmane.org and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8i DAV/2 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at www.my_website.com Port 80 ---------- I have tried freezing rails / unfreezing rails, using include paths in the environment.rb file, using "require" statements and I just have no idea what else to do. The only thing that seems to solve it is to remove the gems from the environment.rb file, but then I don''t get to use them. My plugins work fine once the server restarts so that is not an issue. Anyone have any ideas?? Does my server just suck or is there something I can do about this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Re: gems not loading and causing Internal Server Error
I have seen stuff like this before and it was environment issues... The rake command was running from a different install of ruby than the console/server scripts... Did you install ruby from source and maybe you have the rpms for ruby installed... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi, I think I''m having a very similar problem as you have. I have it with openid plugin: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/170134#new I can use the gem after setting ENV[''GEM_PATH''] = ''/home/mydomain/ruby/gems'' But rake is broken, I can''t migrate, or do anything with it, even script/about complains about the gem. I´ve spent 2 days with it with no luck.

That would explain why freezing rails doesn''t fix the problem since I don''t believe ruby is frozen with rails. I am going to try to install my own version of ruby and rails and see if that somehow fixes the problem. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I did a manual install of ruby and rails following the "HOWTO: Rails 2 on hostmonster" (google it). Also, I installed my gems using the --install-dir option: $ gem install acts_as_secure --install-dir /home/my_website/ruby1.8/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 Now I can use script/console with no problem. I still have a "Internal Server Error", but I''m hoping that goes away when they restart the web server. I''m not sure if I could have used the --install-dir option on the original version of ruby installed, but it''s possible that might have fixed it too. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

To get "Internal Server Error" to go away I needed to fix the shebang line on my public/dispatch.fcgi file. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
