Hi together,

I just wanted to update my long running website. Therefore I did a svn  
checkout from the server to get a fresh copy to my local machine:

- OSX 10.6.4
- ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [universal-darwin10.0]
- Rails 2.3.5
- radiant-0.9.1

Now I get the following error:  
$ ./script/server  
./script/…/config/boot.rb:41: uninitialized constant RADIANT\_ROOT  
(NameError)  
from ./script/server:2:in `require’  
from ./script/server:2

Can anybody help me out? Google did not was any help…

Thanks!  
rainer

Did you run “rake radiant:update && rake db:migrate” ?

tried it:  
rake radiant:update  
(in /v2010/trunk)  
rake aborted!  
uninitialized constant RADIANT\_ROOT  
/v2010/trunk/rakefile:1  
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

From what version are you upgrading?  
You might try upgrading to a version other than 0.9.1 to see how that  
goes and then move from there to 0.9.1.
