Hi, I’ve been trying to get rails going on one of our dedicated servers, with no luck. I have ruby installed, gems, etc… When i goto to create my first rails app i get this: rails test /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active\_record/ associations/association\_proxy.rb:6: warning: instance\_methods: parameter will default to ‘true’ as of 1.8.1 /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.11.2/lib/action\_view/vendor/ builder/blankslate.rb:26: warning: instance\_methods: parameter will default to ‘true’ as of 1.8.1 /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.11.2/lib/action\_view/vendor/ builder/blankslate.rb:21: warning: instance\_methods: parameter will default to ‘true’ as of 1.8.1 /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/active\_support/ dependencies.rb:200:in `const_missing': uninitialized constant Soap (NameError) from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionwebservice-1.0.0/lib/ action_web_service.rb:57 from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionwebservice-1.0.0/lib/ action_web_service.rb:55:in `class\_eval’ from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionwebservice-1.0.0/lib/ action\_web\_service.rb:55:in `class_eval' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionwebservice-1.0.0/lib/ action_web_service.rb:55 from /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require\_\_’ from /usr/lib/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:21:in `require' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:214:in `require’ from /usr/lib/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:182:in `activate' from /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:181:in `each’ from /usr/lib/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:181:in `activate' from /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:167:in `activate’ from /usr/lib/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:166:in `each' from /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:166:in `activate’ from /usr/lib/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:37:in `require_gem_with_options' from /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:31:in `require\_gem’ from /usr/bin/rails:17 I haven’t had much luck trolling google for a fix – I’m wondering if I’m missing something. By the way I’m doing this on a fedora linux box with apache, mysql, and fastcgi already installed. I was following the fedora instructions found on the wiki. Much thanks in-advance.

What did you use to install rails? Did you install via a package for fedora linux? Or did you use gem to install rails? ---

Hi Kevin, You might do well to check you’re using at least Ruby 1.8.2. 1.8.1 will throw all sorts of strangeness. - Andrew Kevin Silver wrote: > Hi, > > I’ve been trying to get rails going on one of our dedicated servers, with no > luck.
