I’ve asked my shared host (asmallorange) to install the 0.6.6 gem and they have, I’ve confirmed with gem list # gem list radiant \*\*\* LOCAL GEMS \*\*\* radiant (0.6.6, 0.6.4) I’ve created a new site via: radiant -d mysql myap, created the database/updated database.yml, uncommented ENV[‘RAILS\_ENV’] in environment.rb. When I run bootstrap I get the following # rake production db:bootstrap (in /home/myuser/railsapps/myradiantapp) Missing the Radiant gem. Please `gem install -v= radiant`, update your RADIANT\_GEM\_VERSION setting in config/environment.rb for the Radiant version you do have installed, or comment out RADIANT\_GEM\_VERSION to use the latest version installed. I checked environment.rb and there isn’t a RADIANT\_GEM\_VERSION entry so I would assume it would try and use the 0.6.6 gem. Is there a way I can confirm it is in-fact not finding the gem? The rails version is the 2.0.2 gem. ---

Jared, I ran into this the other day as well. Please file a ticket on Trac, assign it to the 0.6.7 release, to the effect of “does not load latest gem when no RADIANT\_GEM\_VERSION specified”. In the meantime, add a line to environment.rb that says RADIANT\_GEM\_VERSION = “0.6.6” – that should fix your problem. Sean ---

Thanks, I’ve added a ticket to trac and the line right below my production env variable, but that doesn’t seem to fix the issue. I’m getting the same error. This is what my environment.rb looks like: ENV[‘RAILS\_ENV’] ||= ‘production’ RADIANT\_GEM\_VERSION = ‘0.6.6’ ---

Jared, Try putting it above the previous line. This shouldn’t make a difference in an ideal world, but let’s see if it does. Sean ---

It didn’t seem to make a difference: RADIANT\_GEM\_VERSION = ‘0.6.6’ ENV[‘RAILS\_ENV’] ||= ‘production’ I added it to the production.rb class too, just in case. That didn’t make a difference either. ---

It didn’t like either of those suggestions. Is it possible the gem didn’t get installed correctly? I can as my host to reinstall it. [~/railsapps/myapp]# rake production db:bootstrap RADIANT\_GEM\_VERSION=0.6.6 (in /home/jcblitz/railsapps/myapp) Missing the Radiant 0.6.6 gem. Please `gem install -v=0.6.6 radiant`, update your RADIANT\_GEM\_VERSION setting in config/environment.rb for the Radiant version you do have installed, or comment out RADIANT\_GEM\_VERSION to use the latest version installed. [~/railsapps/myapp]# rake radiant:freeze:gem (in /home/jcblitz/railsapps/myapp) Missing the Radiant 0.6.6 gem. Please `gem install -v=0.6.6 radiant`, update your RADIANT\_GEM\_VERSION setting in config/environment.rb for the Radiant version you do have installed, or comment out RADIANT\_GEM\_VERSION to use the latest version installed. ---

Jared, Try passing it on the command line then: rake production db:bootstrap RADIANT\_GEM\_VERSION=0.6.6 Your other option is to freeze the gem (which might be a better option overall): rake radiant:freeze:gem Sean ---

I haven’t been following this thread, but according to my tasks gem should be plural rake radiant:freeze:gems Does that work? ---

Crap, I should have rake -T first. That fixed my local issue. Thanks. I’ll give this a try on my server later today. ---

I just got this issue again but locally this time when I’m trying to run mongrel (it’s the first time I’ve tried to run it on mongrel). I have the radiant 0.6.6 gem installed and created an instance of radiant using it, but for another project I’m running radiant from source. Both provide the error I’ve mentioned below when trying to run them on mongrel, but the db:bootstrap worked fine for both (previously I was trying this on a hosted server). I’ve tried all the suggestions below and all end with the same result. I’ve previously submitted a ticket for it ([http://dev.radiantcms.org/ticket/639](http://dev.radiantcms.org/ticket/639)) but wanted to see if anyone else hit this issue and has a work around? As for freezing the gem, rake radiant:freeze:gem results in “Don’t know how to build task ‘radiant:freeze:gem’”
