Hello, my ISP (PlusNet) is switching their hosting platform to Plesk which has RoR but there is little support provided by the ISP. I''ve been trying to install an application and have hit the buffers because there are various items missing (currently I''m stuck wanting for net/https for ActiveMerchant). Gem is not installed on Plesk and I have limited access (no shell logon) to do stuff. What I would like to do is identify my applications dependencies and somehow freeze them into the vendor tree. Is this possible ? By this I mean freeze not only rails but any other gems my application relies upon. Also things that aren''t gems (I don''t think net/https) is a gem (I think it was libopenssl-ruby on my Ubuntu dev platform). Any help would be appreciated. I would like to get a real application running on this Plesk platform.

Thanks Fred. I arrived at the conclusin that Rails requires that
RubyGems is available. Because I don''t have root access I have
installed
RubyGems with a repository in my home dir. It works - I''ve confirmed
that I can install a gem. I''ve actually now got my own copy of Rails
2.2.2. I thought I''d start by generating a "hello, world"
test app (e.g
by doing "rails testapp"). First, I added rails to my path.
$ rails -v
rails 2.2.2
$ rails testapp
create
create app/controllers
create app/helpers
...
create log/development.log
create log/test.log
However, creating a test controller does not work. I get an error
..../rubygems/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.2.2/lib/initializer.rb:259:in
`require_frameworks'': no such file to load -- openssl (RuntimeError)
Two Questions:
Why is openssl required for a simple test app that does not use
openssl and can I get around this?
How can I go about installing the openssl dependencies ?
I am doing this on a server to which I have no root access. I will need
to install any dependencies beneath my home directory. The ruby version
available to me is 1.8.5 and it''s on a server running Plesk with the
following id
$uname -a
Linux plesk-host02.plus.net 2.6.18-4-xen-686 #1 SMP Mon Mar 26
21:49:04 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
I feel that until I can get a basic test app working there is little
point in trying to get my real app up and running.
Thanks for any help.

The ruby bindings are not. I presume these are what the file /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i486-linux/openssl.so would normally be. Now I don''t have gcc access on the remote host so I tried to locally rebuild the same ruby as on the hosting service and upload openssl.so onto into the ruby library path. This allows me the privilege of seeing a different error message: openssl.so: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4'' not found Which makes me think that the two systems have different toolchains, reinforced by this: rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jul 26 2007 /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.3.6.so Where the host used to build has this: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2007-05-17 21:11 /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.5.so I don''t think I want to wander down the route of matching toolchains so unless there are any clever ideas, I think it''s time to give up on this until the hosting provider can rebuild Ruby with the openssl toolchain. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

John, do you have shell access? Have you tried installing libopenssl-ruby1.8 using something like apt-get or emerge if that is possible? ----- Ryan Bigg Freelancer http://frozenplague.net On 29/11/2008, at 9:32 AM, John Lane wrote:> > >> The openssl library is probably there, I''d guess you''re only missing >> the ruby bindings for it.

Ryan, Alas, no shell access. Nothing as simple as that. I have to write every command I issue in a script, upload it and execute it with Cron. There''s no compiler and I am unaware of this being on a standard distro with apt-get or similar! I wish it was that easy ;) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
