Hi,

I’m not sure if i’m here in the right place but i have some questions  
about installing the rubycas-server. I have found some good  
documentation on how to install ‘ruby’ and ‘ruby on rails’ and that  
works fine :). So i moved on to the rubycas-server part. I tried to  
follow the instructions on this site:

[http://code.google.com/p/rubycas-server/](http://code.google.com/p/rubycas-server/)

I got myself the requirements, ruby, rubygems, msql, and a ssl  
certificate. So i installed the rubycas-server, in run the server with  
$rubycas-server.

Now i have the config.yml file so i configured it to my own. It’s in the  
attachment.

Now i try to run it again but i get every time the same error:

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rubycas-server-0.5.1/lib/casserver/conf.rb:88:  
Your RubyCAS-Server configuration may be invalid. Please double-check  
check your config.yml file. Make sure that you are using spaces instead  
of tabs for your indentation!! (RuntimeError)

UNDERLYING EXCEPTION:

from /usr/bin/rubycas-server:19

Now i have tried to update, installed more gems, tried to configure the  
config.yml again. But i still get the same error.

I work with ubuntu, apache2, cgi, and mysql.

To be honest i’m new to this environment so it could be i make somewhere  
a big mistake. But already thanks for your support,

Bram
