Ruby 1.8.4 trouble

Rails
1

Hi!

The ruby installation on my FreeBSD-6 box have been upgraded from
1.8.2 to 1.8.4 by accident. And now all my rails have stopped working.

I can’t produce any cool debug info since I have none. running script/
server just coredumps. Running the sites through apache isn’t an
option since apache won’t start (get lots of these in my log: [Thu
Feb 09 10:38:19 2006] [alert] FastCGI: read() from pipe failed (0)
[Thu Feb 09 10:38:19 2006] [alert] FastCGI: the PM is shutting down,
Apache seems to have disa
ppeared - bye)

So what I’m missing right now are ideas on how to debug what the hell
is going on/wrong here.
Hope there are some brainy guys out there :slight_smile:

Greetings,
Gitte W.

I’d guess you need to reinstall your gems.

All of them.

Doesn’t FreeBSD’s ports system allow you to rollback the update to
1.8.4? I’m using DarwinPorts on Mac OS X, and it allows me to do
something like this. Have a look at the options the ports system
provides.

Good luck,

You can use sysutils/portdowngrade to downgrade Ruby 1.8.4 to 1.8.2.

BTW I have several FreeBSD 6-STABLE servers with Ruby 1.8.4 and many
gems and I’m not having any problems.

Try do deinstall all Ruby-related stuff and install www/rubygem-rails.
This will take care of the rest.

Good luck,
