I developed a small RoR app on my Ubuntu laptop and I just tried to migrate it to my “production” box which is Fedora FC3. I moved the entire rails app. I received this error when I tried to get the first page: [2005-11-17 15:36:00] INFO WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=32546 port=3000 192.168.0.61 - - [17/Nov/2005:15:40:01 EST] “GET /freesql HTTP/1.1” 200 0 - -\> /freesql [2005-11-17 15:40:01] ERROR MissingSourceFile: no such file to load – irb /usr/lib/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:21:in `require__' /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in`require’ /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.3/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:214:in `require' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-0.14.3/lib/breakpoint.rb:18 /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.3/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:207:in`load’ /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.3/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:39:in `require_or_load' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.3/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:22:in`depend\_on’ /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.3/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:178:in `require_dependency' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.3/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:194:in`const\_missing’ /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-0.14.3/lib/dispatcher.rb:76:in `reset_after_dispatch' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-0.14.3/lib/dispatcher.rb:46:in`dispatch’ /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-0.14.3/lib/webrick\_server.rb:117:in `handle_dispatch' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-0.14.3/lib/webrick_server.rb:83:in`service’ /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/httpserver.rb:104:in `service' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/httpserver.rb:65:in`run’ /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:173:in `start_thread' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:162:in`start\_thread’ /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:95:in `start' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:92:in`start’ /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:23:in `start' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:82:in`start’ /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-0.14.3/lib/webrick\_server.rb:69:in `dispatch' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-0.14.3/lib/commands/servers/webrick.rb:59 /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in`require’ /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.3/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:214:in `require' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-0.14.3/lib/commands/server.rb:28 /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in`require’ /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.3/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:214:in `require’ script/server:3 I figured that it might be a version problem (in fact, ruby script/server failed with an error until I updated ruby and rails).

(or something else?) Thanks, Gary ---
