Hi, I am following the instructions on [GitHub - binarylogic/authlogic\_example: An example rails app using the Authlogic authentication library](http://github.com/binarylogic/authlogic_example#readme), specifically, the Tutorial “How to create this app …” section: Step 1 of the tutorial contained three sub-step which I identify here Step 1/a,b and c. The details of these steps and their consequences are shown below in detail. Following execution of Steps 1a and 1b of the Tutorial, I followed the advice at the top of Step 1bm i.e. I restarted my web-server. That led to an error notification regarding the instruction config/environment.rb, line 10, which is: config.gem “authlogic” An I ideas about how I can deal with this problem? Details followL Thanks in Advance, Richard My environment includes: WinXP-Pro/SP3, Ruby 1.8.2-15, Rails 1.1.6, Gem 0.9, MySQL 5.0.27-nt, SciTE 1.72, AuthLogic gem, FireFox 2.0.0.4 ## Step 1a: Install the gem / plugin – I got: gem install authlogic Successfully installed authlogic-2.1.3 1 gem installed Installing ri documentation for authlogic-2.1.3… Installing RDoc documentation for authlogic-2.1.3… I checked whether the gem was installed by executing: dir K:\_Utilities\ruby186-26\_rc2\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems and got: K:\>dir K:\_Utilities\ruby186-26\_rc2\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems \authlogic\*.\* Volume in drive K is K02-100G\_NT Volume Serial Number is B00C-F65F Directory of K:\_Utilities\ruby186-26\_rc2\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems 04/28/2010 10:36 AM authlogic-2.1.3 0 File(s) 0 bytes 1 Dir(s) 56,204,374,016 bytes free K:\> Step 1b: Add the gem dependency in your config, so now lines 1-10 in config\environment.rb are: # Be sure to restart your server when you modify this file # Specifies gem version of Rails to use when vendor/rails is not present RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION = ‘2.3.5’ unless defined?

Woops, I posted a severely outdated environment list: > WinXP-Pro/SP3, Ruby 1.8.2-15, Rails 1.1.6, Gem 0.9, MySQL 5.0.27-nt, > SciTE 1.72, AuthLogic gem, FireFox 2.0.0.4 The correct environment list is (I think): WinXP-Pro/SP3, Ruby 1.8.2-15, Rails 2.3.5, Gem 0.9, MySQL 5.0.27-nt, SciTE 1.74, AuthLogic-2.1.3 FireFox 3.6.3, IE 8.0, OE 6.0, MS Office 2003 SP3, Nero Ultra 9 Java 1.6.0\_19, JVM 1.5.0\_11-b03, Apache Tomcat/5.5.12, Visual Prolog 7.0, … BTW, I’ve thought there would be a user-group for authlogic, but I haven’t found one yet.

I found an authlogic newsgroup: [http://groups.google.com/group/authlogic](http://groups.google.com/group/authlogic). I cross-posted this question there. On Apr 29, 4:08 pm, RichardOnRails
