I am having the hardest time in the world trying to get a clients production server to run Rails. Not only does he want this one application to run though, he wants any client of his to be able to run a rails app. I’m going crazy trying to get this to work because I can’t even get one app to properly run. I get a Rails Failed to Start error, so I’ve resorted trying to debug what is going on. I am trying to debug dispatch.fcgi but obviously some crazy \*\*\*\*\* is happening. Can anyone help figure this out? Thanks. ruby -d public/dispatch.fcgi Exception `NameError' at ./public/../config/boot.rb:14 - uninitialized constant Rails Exception`MissingSourceFile’ at /usr/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/ custom\_require.rb:27 - no such file to load – utf8proc\_native Exception `MissingSourceFile' at /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/ custom_require.rb:34 - no such file to load -- utf8proc_native Exception`MissingSourceFile’ at /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ activesupport-1.4.2/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:498 - no such file to load – utf8proc\_native /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/active\_record/ validations.rb:334: warning: `*' interpreted as argument prefix /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/active_record/ validations.rb:363: warning:`\*’ interpreted as argument prefix /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/active\_record/ migration.rb:226: warning: instance variable @ignore\_new\_methods not initialized /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/active\_record/ migration.rb:226: warning: instance variable @ignore\_new\_methods not initialized /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/active\_record/ attribute\_methods.rb:7: warning: `*' interpreted as argument prefix /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/active_record/ connection_adapters/abstract/connection_specification.rb:41: warning: method redefined;

That’s what I figured. But when I try something like gem install utf8proc\_native - it doesn’t exist. ---

Haha well thanks - weird that all these gems are missing. I never had to install them on any of my machines. ---

Okay, so I installed the gems but it seems like the application still can’t find the gems. This is pretty weird now. The one that scares me the most is this one: Exception `NameError’ at ./…/config/boot.rb:14 - uninitialized constant Rails So, any idea on why it can’t find anything? ---

Make sure that CGI support is on for the domain in the Domain Setup found in the Plesk control panel. ---
