Hi all,

I have a problem with deploying rails via capistrano. (updated  
capistrano)

\*\*\* [err :: [www.teamgeisthq.com](http://www.teamgeisthq.com)] /usr/local/lib/site\_ruby/1.8/  
rubygems.rb:149:in `activate' ***[err :: www.teamgeisthq.com] :*** [err :: www.teamgeisthq.com] can't activate rails (= 2.2.2, runtime), already activated rails-2.3.2 ***[err :: www.teamgeisthq.com] (*** [err :: www.teamgeisthq.com] Gem::Exception ***[err :: www.teamgeisthq.com] )*** [err :: www.teamgeisthq.com] from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/ rubygems/custom_require.rb:35:in `require’  
\*\*\* [err :: [www.teamgeisthq.com](http://www.teamgeisthq.com)] from /home/myusername/www.testt.com/  
current/script/process/reaper:3

I understand that the spawner is no part anymore of rails 2.3 and  
installed irs\_process\_scripts in my vendor/plugins dir.

Still I get this error.

Someone knows how to solve this?

Thanks

One of your plugins has a requirement to use rails 2.2.2… probably  
irs\_process\_scripts??..

merely go into the plugins directory, then into the specific plugin and  
change the dependency requirement from = 2.2.2 to \>= 2.2.2

Alternatively, you can check if the plugin has been updated to work with  
2.3

Make sure you test the plugin thoroughly…
