Hi
I have looked at google about this error as well as in ruby on rails
forums, but I can not specifically locate the exact problem and the
solution for it.
Basically, I successfully installed ruby 1.8.4 on HP-UX 11.11 with rails
gem.
But unfortunately whenever I try to create a test application by using
“rails testapp”, I am getting the follwing errror:
$ rails testapp
/apps/gcti/ccon_rep/cfile//lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.2/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/oracle_adapter.rb:520:

from /apps/gcti/ccon_rep/cfile/bin/rails:17
Now I am suspecting that the OCI8 adapter either is not installed
properly or rails is not installed properly. I need OCI8 because I am
going to connect to an oracle database.
Could you be kind enough to let me know what the exact problem is and
how to solve it?

Basically, I successfully installed ruby 1.8.4
on HP-UX 11.11 with rails gem.
Could you say more about what you mean when you say “successfully
installed”?
Configuring Rails to use Oracle is best treated as a second step in
configuring Rails. I recommend you take it a step at a time and start
at
the beginning.
Are you able, for example, to get to the Rails welcome page using
WEBrick?

Hi Bill,
What I mean by successfully installing ruby means that, a simple hello
world application such as ruby -e ‘puts “Hello World”’ works or writing
ruby -v that returns ruby 1.8.4…
Going back to rails on top of ruby just does not work. Creating a simple
test app was not succesful. Therefore I could not go to the directory
and simply start up webrick, but I can see rails being istalled by
typing gem list --local.
Thnx
Deniz

OK. That gives hope that Ruby was indeed successfully installed.

I’m not sure what you mean what you mean by “could not go to the
directory
and simply start up webrick.” If you really mean you can’t start
WEBrick
you’ve got a different problem than if you mean you can start WEBrick
but it
won’t serve a simple test app. Which do you mean?

Hi Bill,
In my original message I mentioned that creating a test application by
using
$rails testapp
would spit out the error.
Therefore, the directory is not created. Since the tesapp directory is
not created, It is just not possible to go in there and write
ruby script/server
Therefore webrick can not be started.
Please refer to the original message and see the errors.
thnx
Deniz

Sorry about missing that in your original post. Rails is definitely not
installed correctly installed. Don’t waste time worrying about Oracle
adapters. Get Rails working on a base install (i.e., works with
WEBrick).
Once that’s working, take the next step.
hth.
