Error after Rails re-installation

Rails
1

I had a couple of rails projects underway in June/July when my Macbook
died. Yesterday I finally reinstalled Ruby 1.8.6, Rails 1.2.3 and
Mongrel – I thought that these were all the same versions as before.
If I create a new project everything is fine, but when I run script/
server in any of my older projects I get the following error:

ruby script/server
=> Booting Mongrel (use ‘script/server webrick’ to force WEBrick)
=> Rails application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
** Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:3000
** Starting Rails with development environment…

I imagine that I did something silly, but I am too much of a newbie to
understand what that might be. Any suggestions?? Thanks! Dan

If you look at config/environment.rb in your older projects what is
RAILS_GEM_VERSION set to?

Thanks Michael,

Both old and new versions are set to ‘1.2.3’

One problem was solved by commenting out the
config.action_controller.session block from the old config/
environment.rb. Now I can start mongrel and migrate my development
database:

However, now I get a Status: 500 Internal Server Error and the
following:
Expected ./script/…/config/…/app/helpers/all_helper.rb to define
AllHelper

Any ideas? I can probably create a new project and copy my files
over, but I’m just curious about what is going wrong.

thanks – Dan
