I changed my laptop for a one with windows 7. I installed rails 2.3.5, postgres-pr 0.6.3, mongrel 1.1.5 and copied my app that was previously on a win xp PC. When I launched my server and connected to my app, I had the following error :
Status: 500 Internal Server Error uninitialized constant PostgresPR::Connection::UNIXSocket C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.5/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:105:in `const_missing' C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/postgres-pr-0.6.3/lib/postgres-pr/connection.rb:167:in `establish_connection'
I resolved this problem by looking at my database.yml file. The development section was like that :
development: adapter: postgresql encoding: UTF8 database: my_database_development pool: 5 username: xxxxx password: xxxxx
# Connect on a TCP socket. Omitted by default since the client uses a # domain socket that doesn't need configuration. Windows does not have # domain sockets, so uncomment these lines. #host: localhost #port: 5432
I just uncommented the last 2 lines (as is recommended...) :
host: localhost port: 5432
and it worked just fine. It worked fine on the win xp machine with these lines commented, though.
Hope this will be of some help if you've ran into this kind of problem.
