Mongrel startup error... confusion ensues... :) "HALP"

Rails
1

Howdy. I’m having a problem starting mongrel (script/server) on a
sample project I got from a book code (RailsSpace, great book). I
downloaded the entire project, updated database.yml to match my needs,
and attempted to launch script/server.

From Googling, I guess that there’s some problem with my gems vs what
this project is really expecting. But I have not a clue the proper
way to find and solve the issue.

Here are my build details:
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [powerpc-darwin8.9.0]
gem 0.9.2
rails 1.2.3

Thanks in advance for help.

Here’s what I got when trying to launch script/server:

I have had this issue myself a few times. I have heard that it can be
caused by out of date gems, but what those gems are is not clear. I
have
always been using edge rails at the time.

YMMV but the way that I got out of it was to upgrade all mongrel gems,
and
update edge rails to a new version (or one I know works)

HTH but I can’t say for sure.
