similar to: Setting env vars from within a Rails app?

Greetings! I''m trying to set an environment variable in Rails. Why? I can''t use RMagick unless I do so. I can do it from the shell, run irb, and then require ''RMagick'' works. So far so good. But how can I do this from my application? I''m on a shared host so I''ve put in a ticket to have something like this added to httpd.conf: SetEnv

I have come across an oddity and wanted to ask if anyone else has looked into this. 1) I have a locally installed gem: RMagick. 2) It loads and works just fine from script/console when I have LD_LIBRARY_PATH and GEM_PATH set in the shell. However, in the live environment it just does not want to play nicely. I have both LD_LIBRARY_PATH and GEM_PATH set in environment.rb and echo those values

I installed RMagick 2.9.1 and tried to test RMagick code below. irb -rubygems -r RMagick But I got an error like below. /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rmagick-2.9.1/lib/RMagick2.so: libMagickCore.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory - /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rmagick-2.9.1/lib/RMagick2.so (LoadError) from

Here are the sequence of commands that I''ve done running CentOS 4.3. When I do the very last command ''make'', I get the errors below. Any ideas? thanks! chirag cd /usr/local/src wget http://image_magick.veidrodis.com/image_magick/ImageMagick.tar.gz tar xvzf ImageMagick.tar.gz cd ImageMagick-X.Y.Z ./configure --disable-static --with-modules --without-perl \

Hey guys! I''m having a little trouble trying to integrate RMagick with my rails app. In the online terminal (on my host''s server) if I write: export "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" before opening the rails console then I can require "RMagick" no problem. Without adding usr/local/lib to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH I get the error message described

hey all, When I do this in script/console I get: >> require ''RMagick'' => true >> include Magick => Object >> f = Image.new(100,100) { self.background_color = "red" } => 100x100 DirectClass 16-bit >> f.crop_resized(50,50) => 50x50 DirectClass 16-bit But in my application I keep getting the same error as if rmagick was not

I've been setting custom env vars for Apache 1 of 2 ways; 1 - Changing the passwd file so Apache has a shell and loading a custom .bashrc file. 2 - Using the SetEnv directive in my httpd.conf file. I'm crazy about neither one as they both have limitations; 1 - I don't like giving Apache its own shell. 2 - The SetEnv directive only takes 2 args so if I have a var with multiple

Hi, everyone! I have been recently hit by ImageMagick/Rmagick memory leak issues. I know I can lesson the problem by manually starting up GC each time I use Rmagick library but ImageMagick seems to use way too much memory nevertheless. (on shared hosting setup anyway) Is there a decent replacement for ImageMagick library? I used to think ImageMagick was quite efficient because its

Dear Rail experts, thank you for such a resourceful list. I am working on an application using Rails 1.1 [REVISION=4240] whereas my server has Rails 1.0 installed. I recently decided to give file_column a try and everything works fine except I am getting the following error: "uninitialized constant Magick" I have tried setting environment variables,

Suddenly I noticed that I can''t require installed gems from irb or ./script/console. Any ideas? irb(main):001:0> require ''RMagick'' LoadError: no such file to load -- RMagick from (irb):1:in `require'' from (irb):1 irb(main):002:0> require ''mysql'' LoadError: no such file to load -- mysql from (irb):2:in

Hi, all. I am trying to manage to run my application under Apache+Mongrel but i am stucked with very difficult (for me) problem. The problem is: RMagick stuff works perfectly under WebRick.

Ok, so this is kinda out of the blue... but I''ve been looking at Google Base and thinking that it''s got some really good ideas in it. Especially the way you can create your own "type" of item with its own custom attributes, like date range, location, number, text, etc. Kind of like defining a database with a GUI, but not exactly. It seems really interesting to me, from

Hi! I''m running a Rails app on Apache/FCGI, with a single handler process on the server. At one point my application needs to FTP a bunch of files to a remote server. When it starts doing this, the server apparently freezes and doesn''t allow anyone else to do anything. Plus, after about twenty seconds, my nice status page vanishes from the browser, even though the

I''m having trouble getting RMagick to work on my Apache/FastCGI setup. If I top Apache and start WEBrick on the exact same app/dirs, it works fine. I installed RMagick following the instructions here: http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/install-faq.html#win That gives me: C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\RMagick-win32-1.9.2-mswin32\lib

I''m a newbie both with rails and configuring a server so I appreciate any help available. I developed my rails app and deployed it successfully on apache using cgi.
