Hello,  
I have a problem that’s strange to me, I installed engines and  
datebox\_engine using the following command, but now I can’t start the  
server  
(I didn’t changed any file).  
ruby script\plugin install engines  
ruby script\plugin install datebox\_engine

I’m using rails edge.

When I try to run the server (WEBrick) is gives me the following error:

./script/…/config/…/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:92:in  
`as_load_path': stack level too deep (SystemStackError) from ./script/../config/../vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:106:in`const\_missing’

I’d guess you are using Edge Rails - you need to check out an SVN  
version of the engines plugin, from:

[http://opensvn.csie.org/rails\_engines/engines/trunk](http://opensvn.csie.org/rails_engines/engines/trunk)

You need to follow the instructions here:
