Starting rails server problem

rubyonrails-talk
#1

Still fairly new to Ruby and Rails in general and trying to figure out
how to address this error. I recently migrated to a new computer and
now I get this error message when I try to start the rails server.

-bash: /Users/user1/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p125/bin/rails:
/Users/user/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p125/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No
such file or directory

I know what the problem is and it's being caused because my ID from one
mac to the other changed from user to user1, now rails is still trying
to start the server using my old path. I just don't know where I would
go to change that path and tell rails to look under user1 and not user.

Did you install rvm and ruby as the new user, or did you just copy files across?

I installed rvm, ruby, rubygems and rails from scratch. However I had
some apps and tutorials I was working on that I copied over from the old
computer.

Please don't top post, it makes it difficult to follow the thread.
Insert your reply at appropriate point(s) in previous message. Thanks

I installed rvm, ruby, rubygems and rails from scratch. However I had
some apps and tutorials I was working on that I copied over from the old
computer.

What do get (in the app that is failing) for
rvm info
ruby -v
rails -v

If those look ok does it work if you make a new rails project?

Creating a new rails app works as expected however when I try to start
the rails server I get the following error:

The main issue I see is where it says Library not loaded: the path isn't
correct and seems to be trying to reference my old ID and not the new
one. Where I would go to fix this I have no idea.

Not sure exactly which path you are referring to. Previously you
mentioned user and user1, are those not the actual names?

Would perhaps completely removing rails, ruby and rvm be a solution
here?

You said you have only just installed them.

1. Yes

2. Correct, if you look on the error where it says Library not loaded:
/Users/derkdoijer/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p125/lib/libruby.1.9.1.dylib

It's still referring to my old username (I was using user and user1 as
an example here) the usernames are derkdoijer and derkdoijer1

3. I had them installed on my previous system and reinstalled them on
my new system since this did not migrate over correctly. I'm wondering
if wiping the slate clean will potentially fix the problem.

#8

1. Yes

Since you have not followed my request to insert your reply inline in
previous post and even worse have not even quoted the previous message
no-one finding this in the future will have any idea about what this
message is about. Remember this is a mailing list not a forum (though
you may be accessing it via a forum-like interface).

an example here) the usernames are derkdoijer and derkdoijer1

Yes I see that now, have you got a user dekdoijer on the new system?
If not then are you sure you did not copy the .rvm stuff from your old
user directory across to the new one?

3. I had them installed on my previous system and reinstalled them on
my new system since this did not migrate over correctly. I'm wondering

If I am right and you copied the .rvm stuff from the old user to the
new one then just running through the rvm and ruby install might not
have fully re-installed them, so paths to the old user are still
there. I think you may be right to fully remove all rvm stuff and
re-install.

My apologies, I did not notice that in your original reply above and

my apologies.

user derkdoijer does not exist on the new system. You are most likely
correct that .rvm was copied over and not properly reinstalled when I
setup my new system. I used the migration assistant to migrate my files
over to the new system.

Colin

would 'rvm implode' be the best way to go about doing this or is that
overkill?

#10

That sounds like a good plan, then you know you have removed everything.
