Wiki on Rails

Ruby

Hi, just recently installed RoR, and would like to create a Wiki running
on my Rails installation.

Are there any ready-to-go Wikis (ala PhP) for RoR?

A) You usually capitalise PHP whole.

B) Yes. “gem install -y instiki”, “gem update -y” and “instiki” in a
console should help.

Opps, after running gem install -y instiki (and gem update -y <== what
do this do?), the command ‘instiki’ gave the following errors:

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.1.1/lib/active_support/clean_logger.rb:13:in

What is missing? I’m having Ruby 1.8.4 on a Linux Kubuntu system.

I got the same issue before updating the gems, it’s due to some
incompatible Logger changes between Ruby 1.8.2 and 1.8.3 that break
Rails.

I thought updating Rails will make instiki pick up the new, since fixed
versions, but apparently the whole gem is hardcoded to use the old
versions.

Look up its specification file, yours should be at
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/specifications/instiki-0.10.2.gemspec.

At the end, there should be lines specifying dependency versions:

s.add_dependency(%q, ["= 0.7.1"])
s.add_dependency(%q, ["= 3.0.3"])
s.add_dependency(%q, ["= 0.5.8"])
s.add_dependency(%q, ["= 0.13.1"])

Change the = to >= on all lines.

I got rails running (at least the testpage at http://0.0.0.0).

My Active Support might not be ok, but I’ll try the solution given by
David V…

That fixed it!

Thanks a lot!
