Thanks Fred. I arrived at the conclusin that Rails requires that
RubyGems is available. Because I don't have root access I have installed
RubyGems with a repository in my home dir. It works - I've confirmed
that I can install a gem. I've actually now got my own copy of Rails
2.2.2. I thought I'd start by generating a "hello, world" test app (e.g
by doing "rails testapp"). First, I added rails to my path.
$ rails -v
rails 2.2.2
$ rails testapp
create
create app/controllers
create app/helpers
...
create log/development.log
create log/test.log
However, creating a test controller does not work. I get an error
..../rubygems/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.2.2/lib/initializer.rb:259:in
`require_frameworks': no such file to load -- openssl (RuntimeError)
Two Questions:
Why is openssl required for a simple test app that does not use
openssl and can I get around this?
How can I go about installing the openssl dependencies ?
I am doing this on a server to which I have no root access. I will need
to install any dependencies beneath my home directory. The ruby version
available to me is 1.8.5 and it's on a server running Plesk with the
following id
$uname -a
Linux plesk-host02.plus.net 2.6.18-4-xen-686 #1 SMP Mon Mar 26
21:49:04 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
I feel that until I can get a basic test app working there is little
point in trying to get my real app up and running.
Thanks for any help.
