Tom,
Sorry you were having problems, and that my message was unclear.
Radiant INCLUDES its own version of Rails, so you don't need to worry
about which version you have installed. However, as I discovered later
in a continued private conversation with Alexey, he was running Ruby
1.8.7. Radiant is known not to work on 1.8.7. However, when we
successfully upgrade to Rails 2.1.x, we should be compatible with Ruby
1.8.7 and 1.9.
Some testing from the community would be appreciated once we near that
milestone.
Sean
Oh OUCH! Please educate me, 'cause I'm really confused at this point.
I'm the guy who's been trying for a couple of weeks (or more) simply
to get a Radiant instance up and running. I've posted multiple times
to the list about my travails. I'm stalled at the "Bootstrap the
Database" section on the Installation page
[http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Installation] of the Radiant website.
Mohit's recently given me a new idea to follow up on, and I hope to do
that very soon.
Meanwhile, THIS post informs me that the current Radiant doesn't run
on Rails 2.1.
My problem: I installed the radiant gem, following the instructions at
the website. I assumed that dependencies would automatically be
resolved. They weren't. Rails was NOT installed. Why not? So I
installed rails, and of course it was the rails gem and of course it
was 2.1. Now I learn that this won't work. I have to wonder about the
degree to which this might be the cause of my problems (well
documented in previous posts).
I'm not a CS professional. I cannot untangle all this in advance. I'm
a bit surprised that anyone could, but what do I know?
To me, this looks like a poorly set up installation process,
compounded by the fact that there seems to be NO mention on the
Radiant website of the fact that rails 2.1 is the wrong version to
install.
Am I out of line complaining about this? Please tell me, if so. I have
spent hours trying simply to getting a working instance of Radiant set
up on my desktop. This is my second major effort at this. I remain, as
of this writing, defeated. I would have to say that it may not be
entirely due to my ignorance.
Is this something that can/should be fixed.?
Oh...and by the way, what version of Rails is Radiant happy with?
COULD SOMEONE PLEASE PUT THIS IN PLAIN SIGHT ON THE WEBSITE??? (after
posting it here, so I can be properly advised, finally)
t.
