i don’t get what is going on here. if i run the restclient command that starts an irb with restclient it works fine but when i try to load it from environment.rb with require ‘rest\_client’ this is what i get… it’s driving me batty. /usr/local/lib/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- restClient (MissingSourceFile) from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in`require’ from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.4/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:158:in `require' from /home/morgan/public_html/tutoring.minulle.com/app/releases/20091004193614/app/controllers/upload_controller.rb:1 from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in`gem\_original\_require’ from /usr/local/lib/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:31:in `require' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.4/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:158:in`require’ from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.4/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:265:in `require_or_load' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.4/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:224:in`depend\_on’ from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.4/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:136:in `require_dependency' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.4/lib/initializer.rb:414:in`load\_application\_classes’ from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.4/lib/initializer.rb:413:in `each' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.4/lib/initializer.rb:413:in`load\_application\_classes’ from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.4/lib/initializer.rb:411:in `each' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.4/lib/initializer.rb:411:in`load\_application\_classes’ from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.4/lib/initializer.rb:197:in `process' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.4/lib/initializer.rb:113:in`send’ from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.4/lib/initializer.rb:113:in `run' from /home/morgan/public_html/tutoring.minulle.com/app/current/config/environment.rb:14 from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in`gem\_original\_require’ from /usr/local/lib/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:31:in `require' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/thin-1.2.4/lib/rack/adapter/rails.rb:43:in`load\_application’ from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/thin-1.2.4/lib/rack/adapter/rails.rb:23:in `initialize' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/thin-1.2.4/lib/rack/adapter/loader.rb:36:in`new’ from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/thin-1.2.4/lib/rack/adapter/loader.rb:36:in `for' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/thin-1.2.4/lib/thin/controllers/controller.rb:163:in`load\_adapter’ from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/thin-1.2.4/lib/thin/controllers/controller.rb:67:in `start' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/thin-1.2.4/lib/thin/runner.rb:174:in`send’ from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/thin-1.2.4/lib/thin/runner.rb:174:in `run_command' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/thin-1.2.4/lib/thin/runner.rb:140:in`run!’ from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/thin-1.2.4/bin/thin:6 from /usr/bin/thin:19:in `load’ from /usr/bin/thin:19 ---

Don’t know restClient, but random guess: your upload controller is requiring a file that requires a gem to be loading and you are requiring that gem at the bottom of environment.rb (or at least after the Initializer block) Fred ---
