Newbie Install Question

Hi,

I’ve been trying to get rails going on one of our dedicated servers,
with no luck. I have ruby installed, gems, etc… When i goto to
create my first rails app i get this:

rails test
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/
associations/association_proxy.rb:6: warning: instance_methods:
parameter will default to ‘true’ as of 1.8.1

from /usr/bin/rails:17

I haven’t had much luck trolling google for a fix – I’m wondering if
I’m missing something. By the way I’m doing this on a fedora linux
box with apache, mysql, and fastcgi already installed. I was
following the fedora instructions found on the wiki.

Much thanks in-advance.

Thanks,

Kevin

What did you use to install rails? Did you install via a package for
fedora linux? Or did you use gem to install rails?

Hi Kevin,

You might do well to check you’re using at least Ruby 1.8.2. 1.8.1 will
throw all sorts of strangeness.
