Error message:  
undefined method `acts\_as\_textiled’ for #Class:0x7f057c4dc988

I receive this error from passenger. I am using  
capistrano/passenger/apache and initially when I cap deployed the  
plugins were missing. So, I added the plugins and did a cap deploy for  
migrations and that worked. Now, however, I get this message and am  
unsure what’s going on.

In my environment.rb file I have:

RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION = ‘2.3.3’ unless defined? RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION

require File.join(File.dirname( **FILE** ), ‘boot’)

require “rubygems”  
require “will\_paginate”

Rails::Initializer.run do |config|  
config.plugins = [:all]

%w(observers sweepers mailers).each do |dir|  
config.load\_paths \<\< “#{RAILS\_ROOT}/app/#{dir}”  
end

config.action\_controller.page\_cache\_directory = RAILS\_ROOT +  
“/public/cache/”

config.active\_record.observers = :user\_observer

end

Hi Alpha B.

I can’t tell you if it’s going to solve your problem, but your  
environment.rb seems pretty outdated. You don’t need to tell Rails to  
load all plugins; it’ll do that automatically. Just a side note, Rails  
has got built-in gem dependency management since 2.2 (I think), using  
it will allow you to run rake gems:install on your server so you don’t  
have to install the gems manually.

RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION = ‘2.3.3’ unless defined? RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION

require File.join(File.dirname( **FILE** ), ‘boot’)

Rails::Initializer.run do |config|  
config.gem ‘mislav-will\_paginate’, :lib =\> ‘will\_paginate’

%w(observers sweepers mailers).each do |dir|  
config.load\_paths \<\< “#{RAILS\_ROOT}/app/#{dir}”  
end

config.action\_controller.page\_cache\_directory = RAILS\_ROOT +  
“/public/cache/”

config.active\_record.observers = :user\_observer

end

You said that there was “stuff” missing after you did the cap deploy?  
Are you using git or svn? Maybe you need to try to checkout the  
project into a new directory and start the server locally to see if  
everything is checked-out correctly. When you do a cap deploy and  
plugins are missing you need to check the source repo…
