I have an old app that I'm trying to get running on Dreamhost. I finally sorted out that it was built on rails 1.1.6 (did I mention that it is old? it is old.) and went about specifying 1.1.6 in environment.rb:
RAILS_GEM_VERSION = '1.1.6' unless defined? RAILS_GEM_VERSION
And I pieced together that I need to be using 1.1.x gems, so I checked them out to vendor/rails:
svn co http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/branches/1-1-stable/activesupport svn co http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/branches/1-1-stable/activerecord svn co http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/branches/1-1-stable/actionmailer svn co http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/branches/1-1-stable/release.rb svn co http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/branches/1-1-stable/railties svn co http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/branches/1-1-stable/actionpack svn co http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/branches/1-1-stable/actionwebservice
Now when I try to run script/server I get an error more like this (yeah, my app is in a directory called "frozeCSA" because I think what I'm doing is freezing the rails version):
[0 chcsa@karnov frozeCSA]$ ./script/server => Rails application started on http://0.0.0.0:3000 => Ctrl-C to shutdown server; call with --help for options [2008-05-15 07:39:58] INFO WEBrick 1.3.1 [2008-05-15 07:39:58] INFO ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i386-linux] [2008-05-15 07:39:58] INFO WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=2456 port=3000 Killed
That is better than it was, by a long shot, but it does launch on an odd IP address and then it gets killed before it is up.
Where should I take this from here?
PS, yes, these are the same puzzle: http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_thread/thread/3e8564f6b0885a74/150378cdbba7048b http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_thread/thread/d6cd34bbc9d52bc7/03180960f81c452b
