So, I finally went and did it based on a lot of your feedback to me with some questions I had been asking. I was formerly on Ruby 1.9.1-p129 and Rails 2.3.2. I was having a lot of issues with trying to get Postgresql and a few other essential items working on 1.9.1. Therefore, I started over. I kept all my core project intact and performed the following: Windows (I''m developing on windows but I have a linux ubuntu hardy server). I''m trying to match up everything perfectly, environment, gems, etc. With windows, the easier method was going to the one-click installer which is Ruby 1.8.6-patch level 287. On Ubuntu, it more than likely will default to version 1.8.7. So, my first question is (will the ruby platform version from 1.8.6 (development) cause issues with ruby platform version 1.8.7 (production)? Secondly, I have the following gems installed on development(windows): capistrano rails rspec-rails rake-compiler sqlite3-ruby hectoregm-mysql-ruby (just in case I went back to mysql) gem_plugin mongrel hpricot (need this for parsing) RedCloth mislav-will_paginate rubyist-aasm pg (for postgresql) test-unit v.1.2.3 On my production box(ubuntu), I have all of the same gems listed above(exact versions installed). So, this is all good so far eh? Or not? In my vendor/plugins directory on development I have the following: foreign_key_migrations + redhillonrails_core in_place_editing (using this with RedCloth for part of my CMS) restful_authentication (could not get the gem to work but the plugin works fine) So, any issues here when I go to production? On both my development and production environments I have postgresql up and running and identical users set for development/test/production databases. I hate to ask anyone if I''m doing anything wrong but I''d hate to go further with re-implementing the rest of my site to follow postgres and find out there''s an issue with how I''m setting up the environments and things don''t port over. Anything I''m missing here? Many thanks in advance! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
