can't start script/server as other user than root

rubyonrails-talk
1

hi,

iam on gentoo linux since a few weeks. today i checked out a ror project and wanted to start the webbrick server.

when i "ruby script/server" with another user than "root" it tells me: "./script/../config/boot.rb:18:in 'require' : no such file to load -- rubygems (LoadError)"

as root everything works fine. iam stuck... :frowning:

oh and another problem, when i just try "script/server" without "ruby" in front of the command it tells me "bash: script/server: /usr/bin/env: bad interpreter: permission denied"

any ideas? :slight_smile:

What do you get from

(first as root, then as pascalf - or any other user) which ruby ls -l which ruby

Is root using the same ruby as your users? Do other users have permission to execute ruby?

hi james,

as root: laptux mopslunch # which ruby /usr/bin/ruby laptux mopslunch # ls -l /usr/bin/ruby lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 May 31 17:45 /usr/bin/ruby -> ruby18

as user: paukul@laptux ~/Rails_Workspaces/mopslunch $ which ruby /usr/local/bin/ruby paukul@laptux ~/Rails_Workspaces/mopslunch $ ls -l /usr/local/bin/ruby -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1322089 31. Mai 16:19 /usr/local/bin/ruby

ok i see, two different versions?! but.. why? and how to fix?

thanks in advance,

pascal

i deleted /usr/local/bin/ruby and created a symlink from /usr/bin/ruby to /usr/local/bin/ruby it fixed the problem :slight_smile: thanks
