Hello Folks,

I am trying to setup a new dedicated virtual server with a hosting  
company. When I try to start my mongrel\_cluster I get the following  
error.

Google serach on where to find smtp\_tls or if I am missing something  
in my path somewhere didn’t help. Any thoughts/pointers on how to  
address this error are appreciated.

\*\* Starting Rails with production environment…  
/usr/local/rubygems/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:  
27:in `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- smtp_tls (MissingSourceFile) from /usr/local/rubygems/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/ custom_require.rb:27:in`require’  
from /usr/local/rubygems/gems/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/  
active\_support/dependencies.rb:495:in `require’

Thanks,  
-S
