Rails on openSuSE 10.3

Rails

Rails 1.2.3 used to run just fine on openSuSE 10.2 (x86_64)

I recently upgraded to openSuSE 10.3 and I cannot get neither mongrel
nor webrick up.
I tried various combinations of mongrel (0.31, 1.01, 1.03, 1.04), ruby
(1.8.6 and stable snapshot), rails (1.2.3 and 1.2.5).

I get the following error:

=> Booting Mongrel (use ‘script/server webrick’ to force WEBrick)
=> Rails application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
** Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:3000

from script/server:3

The whole thing explodes while executing
ARGV.clone.options
(at least this is in mongrel.rb:18)

I tried this in irb and it works fine:

irb(main):001:0> ARGV.clone.options
NoMethodError: undefined method `options’ for []:Array
from (irb):1
irb(main):002:0> require ‘optparse’

0000000000000000@/usr/lib64/ruby/1.8/optparse.rb:694>, @short=nil,
@desc=nil, @c
…

It seems optparse is not loaded properly.

Something interesting is that if I try to force webrick, it attempts
to start BOTH webrick and then mongrel (and it crashes again).

Any ideas?

Hi,

I’m using Suse 10.3 , I don’t see a problem on my server.

=> Booting Mongrel (use ‘script/server webrick’ to force WEBrick)
=> Rails application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
** Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:3000
** Starting Rails with development environment…
** Rails loaded.
** Loading any Rails specific GemPlugins
** Signals ready. TERM => stop. USR2 => restart. INT => stop (no
restart).
** Rails signals registered. HUP => reload (without restart). It might
not
work well.
** Mongrel available at 0.0.0.0:3000
** Use CTRL-C to stop.

My update from Suse 10.2 was done via a new install (format partition
…)

Maybe something to try:

remove Rails via gem and install again.

Well, I found that when creating a Rails app from scratch, then
Mongrel starts without any problems. I am thinking there is a plugin
or a dependency causing my problems, but how can I trace the culprit?
Any ideas?

Re-installing Rails (various versions) did not help.
It seems that my problem is not Rails itself or Mongrel…

Did you check the Mongrel log files?
