I am trying to deploy my first rails app to a dedicated server (using capistrano). The deployment goes fine (no errors) until the deploy:start step. I get the following error message - executing `deploy:start’ - executing “sudo -p 'sudo password: ’ sh -c ‘cd /home/default/barmap.craigrees.co.uk/user/htdocs/barmap/current && nohup script/spin’” servers: [“[barmap.craigrees.co.uk](http://barmap.craigrees.co.uk)”] [[barmap.craigrees.co.uk](http://barmap.craigrees.co.uk)] executing command \*\*\* [err :: [barmap.craigrees.co.uk](http://barmap.craigrees.co.uk)] /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/thread.rb:5:in `require’ \*\*\* [err :: [barmap.craigrees.co.uk](http://barmap.craigrees.co.uk)] : \*\*\* [err :: [barmap.craigrees.co.uk](http://barmap.craigrees.co.uk)] no such file to load – thread.so \*\*\* [err :: [barmap.craigrees.co.uk](http://barmap.craigrees.co.uk)] ( \*\*\* [err :: [barmap.craigrees.co.uk](http://barmap.craigrees.co.uk)] LoadError \*\*\* [err :: [barmap.craigrees.co.uk](http://barmap.craigrees.co.uk)] ) \*\*\* [err :: [barmap.craigrees.co.uk](http://barmap.craigrees.co.uk)] from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/thread.rb:5 \*\*\* [err :: [barmap.craigrees.co.uk](http://barmap.craigrees.co.uk)] from /usr/local/lib/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:10 \*\*\* [err :: [barmap.craigrees.co.uk](http://barmap.craigrees.co.uk)] from /usr/bin/mongrel\_rails:9 command finished I have installed mongrel 1.1.5 and mongrel cluster 1.0.5.

It does not look like a capistrano problem. Take a look at: [http://www.urbanpuddle.com/articles/2007/08/17/mongrel-cluster-1-0-2-and-ruby-1-8-5](http://www.urbanpuddle.com/articles/2007/08/17/mongrel-cluster-1-0-2-and-ruby-1-8-5) ssh into your server, cd to app/currect folder and try starting the mongrel / mongrel cluster there. Would you please post you config/deploy.rb ? – Aníbal Rojas > **[Home - Has Many Developers](https://hasmanydevelopers.com/)** > > We are the best choice for your building design and development > **[RUBYCORNER.COM](https://www.rubycorner.com/)** > > RUBYCORNER.COM - Contact us for any business inquiries [http://anibal.rojas.com.ve](http://anibal.rojas.com.ve) On Jul 17, 5:15 am, Craig R.

Craig, ``` Looks like like there is a problem with the Mongrel/Mongrel ``` Cluster installation. I would recommend uninstalling Mongrel Cluster, and later Mongrel, and reinstalling them taking note of the output of the $ sudo gem install commands. ``` Also you could consider running Thin as an alternative. Please provide the output of your reinstallation process, ``` – Aníbal Rojas > **[Home - Has Many Developers](https://hasmanydevelopers.com/)** > > We are the best choice for your building design and development > **[RUBYCORNER.COM](https://www.rubycorner.com/)** > > RUBYCORNER.COM - Contact us for any business inquiries [http://anibal.rojas.com.ve](http://anibal.rojas.com.ve) ---
