Hi there, I’m just trying to deploy my very 1st app to my vhost, and i’m getting an error on the phusion passenger page: no such file to load – ferret now everything worked fine in development. DO i need to reinstall the plugin and gem again? if so - would these be in [domain.com/public](http://domain.com/public)? or should it be installed at [domain.com](http://domain.com)? ANy advice would be great! THank you. ---

Hmmm… I may have to keep looking, just tried: /usr/bin/ruby1.8 extconf.rb – with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysql-lib=/usr/local/mysql/lib –with-mysql-include=/usr/local/mysql/include and it returns with: ERROR: Error installing mysql: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /usr/bin/ruby1.8 extconf.rb --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql --with- mysql-lib=/usr/local/mysql/lib --with-mysql-include=/usr/local/mysql/ include checking for mysql\_query() in -lmysqlclient… no checking for main() in -lm… yes checking for mysql\_query() in -lmysqlclient… no checking for main() in -lz… no checking for mysql\_query() in -lmysqlclient… no checking for main() in -lsocket… no checking for mysql\_query() in -lmysqlclient… no checking for main() in -lnsl… yes checking for mysql\_query() in -lmysqlclient… no checking for main() in -lmygcc… no checking for mysql\_query() in -lmysqlclient… no \*\*\* extconf.rb failed \*\*\* Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may need configuration options. Is this a problem with the host, of am I doing something wrong?

If you finished installing the ferret gem, don’t forget to start the ferret server ruby script/ferret\_server -e production In development mode, ferret uses a file, in production mode ferret automaticly connects to the ferret server.
