I accidentally ran the rake update task for the Page Attachments extension a second time. Now whenever I boot up the server I get the following: vendor/extensions/page\_attachments/lib/geometry.rb:6: warning: already initialized constant FLAGS vendor/extensions/page\_attachments/lib/geometry.rb:11: warning: already initialized constant RFLAGS vendor/extensions/page\_attachments/lib/geometry.rb:28: warning: already initialized constant RE Is there a way to go back to the state before the update? I wouldn’t otherwise mind, since this doesn’t seem to affect local operation, but on Dreamhost, the server doesn’t take kindly to the messages. Thanks in advance, Ben ---

I get this error as well. Its because rails is seeing two geometry.rb files. But what’s weird is that the attachment\_fu plugin and page\_attachments extension require geometry.rb separately from each other. So if you get rid of either, you’ll get dysfunctional breakage both ways. I don’t quite know how to fix it.

Do you have other extensions installed that use atachment\_fu such as the gallery extension? On Mon, May 5, 2008 at 3:53 AM, Ben M.

Could that be the cause of the conflict? Maybe. Both page\_attachments and gallery have the geometry.rb file. Try to remove it from the second loaded extesion (maybe page\_attachments). – Andrea F.

I’ve also come across this warning but don’t have gallery installed… ---

I moved the geometry.rb file out of the page attachments lib directory. Upon starting the server I now receive: \*\* Starting Rails with production environment… Could not load extension from file: page\_attachments\_extension. #\ \*\* Rails loaded. But, if that was the cause, then anyone using Page Attachments and Gallery should have the error. If you have both installed, do you see that message (“already initialized constant FLAGS”) when you start the server? Thanks for working with me on this one Andrea, I appreciate it! ---

Yep, all the latest. Page Attachments 0.2 Gallery 0.7.10 Radiant 0.66 I tried uninstalling Page Attachments using: rake radiant:extensions:page\_attachments:migrate VERSION=0 RAILS\_ENV=production and deleting the directory in the extensions folder. I then reinstalled it. Unfortunately, that didn’t work – the initialized constants error is still there when the server starts. ---

Rails is warning you that the constants the class contains are getting redefined- these are just warnings, and the constants are getting redefined to the same values either way. It’s safe to ignore them. \*\* I’ve been doing a bunch of work on the Page Attachments plugin - I’ve fixed it to not require the Geometry class if the class has already been loaded. On my install, this has fixed the warnings. I’ll issue a pull request and hopefully Sean will like what he sees and this’ll make it’s way into the core. There are a few other ways to fix it - but this seems like a safe route to me. –DJCP ---

Did some more testing, this is interesting… I created a new Radiant project with a new database. I then installed the Page Attachments extension (and only that extension). I started the server. I see the same error messages: \deleteme\>ruby script/server -e production =\> 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 production environment… /deleteme/vendor/extensions/page\_attachments/lib/geometry.rb:6: warning: already initialized constant FLAGS /deleteme/vendor/extensions/page\_attachments/lib/geometry.rb:11: warning: already initialized constant RFLAGS /deleteme/vendor/extensions/page\_attachments/lib/geometry.rb:28: warning: already initialized constant RE \*\* Rails loaded. \*\* Loading any Rails specific GemPlugins \*\* Signals ready.

Oh - and all the “update” task does is copy some files in RAILS\_ROOT/public. You can run it a thousand times and it wouldn’t have an impact on these warnings. ---
