Active record already activated

I am using MediaTemple rails hosting and when I am trying to run my application I get this from my mongrel log:

** Daemonized, any open files are closed. Look at log/mongrel.pid and log/mongrel.log for info.
** Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:2013
** Starting Rails with production environment...

      from /home/66747/data/rubygems/gems/bin/mongrel_rails:19

I have tried running "gem cleanup" and when I type in "gem list" I get:

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

actionmailer (2.3.2)
actionpack (2.3.2)
activerecord (2.3.2)
activeresource (2.3.2)
activesupport (2.3.2)
cgi_multipart_eof_fix (2.5.0)
daemons (1.0.10)
fastthread (1.0.1)
gem_plugin (0.2.3)
mongrel (1.1.5)
mysql (2.7)
postgres (0.7.9.2008.01.28)
rails (2.3.2)
rake (0.8.4)
rmagick (1.15.15)
validatable (1.6.7)

Any ideas on what I can do? My database config looks like:

production:
adapter: mysql
database: db66747_bestqualitypools_production
username: db66747_pools
password: pw_here
host: internal-db.s66747.gridserver.com

The username does have read/write permissions and the database is completed.

Not sure what else to do, i have googled the problem and checked on various google groups.

Thanks,

Ryan

Do you have any gems unpacked in your application? Maybe you unpacked 2.1 into vendor/gems and have 2.3.2 required?

Do you have AR specified twice in your environment.rb file? Check out the lines with "config.gem".

>>Do you have any gems unpacked in your application? Maybe you unpacked 2.1 into vendor/gems and have 2.3.2 required?

How would I check this? I am fairly new with Ruby on Rails.

Here is my environment.rb: http://pastie.org/467269

# Specifies gem version of Rails to use when vendor/rails is not present
RAILS_GEM_VERSION = '2.1.2' unless defined? RAILS_GEM_VERSION

This says "use version 2.1.2" but your gem list doesn't show that 2.1.2 is installed.

Either:
* (sudo) gem install rails -v 2.1.2
* Change the RAILS_GEM_VERSION to be 2.3.2

The first is safer, because you don't know if your application will work on the new version without some tweaking.

Now that is is going to go through and install that version do I need to go through and remove my other versions of active record?

wesgarrison🇺🇸

No. Rails will use the one specified in the file.

Alrighty, now when I try to start my application I get:

Do you have a folder "rails" in your "vendor" directory?

If so, you can try removing it.

If not, you can unpack rails with:
rake rails:freeze:gems

That'll unpack it into the vendor/rails directory so that you KNOW what version is running.

I tried deleting it via FTP, but it got caught up on deleting the folder "Argentina" I will try using the code.

catonthecouchproductions🇺🇸

ASKER

When I run:

"rake rails:freeze:gems"

I get:

"rake aborted!
No Rakefile found (looking for: rakefile, Rakefile, rakefile.rb, Rakefile.rb)
/home/66747/data/rubygems/gems/gems/rake-0.8.4/lib/rake.rb:2353:in `raw_load_rakefile'
(See full trace by running task with --trace)
"

There is "Rakefile" inside application directory in the root.

Yeah, FTP would be slow.
SSH would be better if that's an option.

catonthecouchproductions🇺🇸

ASKER

Inside my vendor/rails directory I have:

activesupport/
railties/

It gets hung up like I said on the Argentia folder within activesupport/ - language folder maybe?

I am SSH in to the server now. How would I run an FTP to delete? I can check the MT control panel for that.

Just nuke the whole vendor/rails folder:
rm -rf vendor/rails/

... from the application's base directory.

Then, try the rake freeze command, again from the application's base directory.

catonthecouchproductions🇺🇸

ASKER

Nice! That worked, now running, the rake freeze (what does this do by the way?)

I get:

Freezing to the gems for Rails 2.3.2
rm -rf vendor/rails
mkdir -p vendor/rails
cd vendor/rails
ERROR: Gem 'activesupport' not installed.
mv activesupport
rm -rf vendor/rails
rake aborted!
undefined method `to_str' for nil:NilClass

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

Should I run gem install activesupport?

wesgarrison🇺🇸

Freezing takes the gems and unpacks them to the vendor/rails directory so that the application is frozen ("locked") to running that version. You wouldn't need the gems installed on a machine that way.

Huh. Your gem list --local from above shows activesupport.

Check it again:
gem list --local

Do you see:
activesupport (2.1.2)

If you run the 'gem install' you'll get the latest version, not 2.1.2, fyi.

When I run that command I get:

activesupport (2.1.2)

I do have that installed, not sure why that is not running.

I ran that and I got:

Amazing..that worked like a charm!

So it was the activerecord causing the problem?

catonthecouchproductions🇺🇸

ASKER

Great help! Very quick

wesgarrison🇺🇸

Dunno. Maybe your vendor/rails was incomplete so it couldn't find activesupport.

Yeah..I wonder what it was. Specifying the rake command worked great.

Ruby is an open-source dynamic object-oriented interpreted language that supports multiple programming frameworks including functional, object oriented and imperative. It also has a dynamic type system and automatic memory management. Ruby focuses on simplicity and productivity. Ruby's market share spiked due to Ruby on Rails, a model-view-controller (MVC) framework for building web applications.
