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](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… Exiting /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.3/lib/commands/servers/ mongrel.rb:15: warning: already initialized constant OPTIONS /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.3/lib/commands/servers/ mongrel.rb:18: undefined method `options' for []:Array (NoMethodError) from /usr/lib64/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/ custom_require.rb:32:in `gem\_original\_require’ from /usr/lib64/ruby/vendor\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/ custom\_require.rb:32:in `require' from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:495:in `require’ from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/ active\_support/dependencies.rb:342:in `new_constants_in' from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:495:in `require’ from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.3/lib/commands/ server.rb:39 from /usr/lib64/ruby/vendor\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/ custom\_require.rb:27:in `gem_original_require' from /usr/lib64/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/ custom_require.rb:27:in `require’ 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’ =\> true irb(main):003:0\> ARGV.clone.options =\> #\#\, @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](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. Luc.

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… 2007/11/1, Luc E. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid): ---

Did you check the Mongrel log files? ``` Luc. ```
