Hi all,…

First of all, i’ve been looking for a tutorial how to upgrade Rails,  
specifically upgrading rails project. The best post i can found is  
[http://www.slashdotdash.net/articles/2007/12/03/rails-2-upgrade-notes](http://www.slashdotdash.net/articles/2007/12/03/rails-2-upgrade-notes) So  
i  
followed steps from it. I successfully upgrade Rails on my openSuSE-10.3  
but  
failed upgrade / run my rails project (which is still under development  
environment).

After reading the post, and got no possible issue mentioned in the post  
(my  
app is still very simple). So i ran rake rails:freeze:edge and i got  
this  
error:

$ rake rails:freeze:edge  
(in /home/dinda/Workspace/SimpleStore)  
rake aborted!  
no such file to load –  
/home/dinda/Workspace/SimpleStore/config/…/vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer  
/home/dinda/Workspace/SimpleStore/Rakefile:4  
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

I don’t even have the railties directory in vendor/rails. Please help.

Thanks,

Dida

scrap your vendor/rails folder - if you’ve got an incomplete one rails  
will try (and fail) to load from it.
