I have 2 applications on Dreamhost using Rails 2.1.0, recently they installed Rails 3 on my server and broke my apps.
I found this post that explains how to freeze a rails app - http://www.softiesonrails.com/2008/1/3/freezing-your-rails-application, but when I run the command rake rails:freeze:gems back this error:
rake aborted!
can't activate rails (= 2.3.8, runtime) for [], already activated rails-3.0.3 for []
I uninstalled and installed again the rake, but still resulting in this error. What can be done to solve this problem? someone went through this already know or help me?
All freeze:gems does is copy the gem directory to vendor/gems, you can do this by hand.
Another way you can get this done is to locally install Rails 2.1 and get get your app running and rake rails:freeze:gems there, then upload back to the server.

Thank you this community for getting me started on the right path. Specifying rails version to use when creating a new application gets me close, but the differing ruby version is what is throwing me off. I'm running into an error after running rails new that I'm not sure where to begin to resolve it. I gather from the error that my command is missing a parameter, but I can't determine what it is.
Any advice?
I would like to create a rails 5.2.6 project and I'm finding consistent responses elsewhere indicating that my approach to getting a rails project created with a specific version is to:
install the rails gem with gem install rails -v 5.2.6
create a new rails project, specifying the rails version with rails _5.2.6 new appName
I think I'm on to it. Did a specific google search for compatibility of Ruby 3 with Rails 5 and appears this is the likely problem.
I've now run 'rvm install 2.7.4' then 'rvm use 2.7.4' but still seems to be using ruby 3 in the command. The new error:
user#ubuntudev:~/railsprojects$ rails _5.2.6_ new rpapitest
/home/user/.rbenv/versions/3.0.0/lib/ruby/3.0.0/rubygems.rb:281:in `find_spec_for_exe': can't find gem railties (= 5.2.6) with executable rails (Gem::GemNotFoundException)

Try with rbenv global 2.7.4 if you have rbenv installed
I am trying to run an old rails app, but I am receiving this error after calling $ rails server:
uninitialized constant AppGenerator::Config
Did you mean? RbConfig
I am brand new to Rails, and I really don't know what this means/where to start. The app is supposedly built on 2.3.8. My computer says I have 2.4.1 and 2.3.18 installed.
I would like to know if I should install 2.3.8, or if I should upgrade to the latest version? Also I don't understand the error that is coming up, where should I look in the app to fix this - or is this a Rails problem?
Verify the version your project is built type bundle show inside it. It's gonna show all the gems and your respective versions.
And to check the rails version just type rails -v in your terminal.
The gemfile in the app folder should tell you what version of rails it is.
You can use bundle update to update the version or if you have a newer version and want an older version, do gem uninstall rails and then gem install rails -v "version number" for example, gem install rails -v 2.3.8.
You can check the rails version on Gemfile.
Try the command rake about to see the application environment.
I would suggest to have your environment setup same on the Gemfile, your application might have compatibility issues if you use a lower version.
I pulled someone's project from github, and we seem to be using different rails versions. When i update the rails gem, it seems to go fine, but when i check the version it still shows the previous one and won't run the rails server.

You have multiple Rails versions installed and it's reporting the first one it finds.
Does the project have a gemfile? If so just let bundle handle this for you:
bundle install
bundle exec rails s
I'm following Michael Hartl's Ruby on Rails tutorial, and I got stuck at trying to start rails server on my Windows 7 machine.
I'm trying to do this by following instructions in Chapter 1.2.5., i.e. by typing
rails server
However, instead of booting WEBrick, this returns the instructions for usage of 'rails' command. I've been googling this for a while, and some of the answers seem to have implied that something is wrong with the rails gem.
Now, I've found the rails gem folder ("C:\RailsInstaller\Ruby1.9.3\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\rails-3.2.3"), and it's empty!
Also when I try
rails -v
it returns "Rails 3.2.16", although I've removed this version of the gem; if I try
gem list
it kept telling me that the version is 3.2.3.
This persisted until I deleted railties version 3.2.16, which resulted in
rails -v
returning 'Rails 3.2.3', but I still can't boot WEBrick.
Any help would be appreciated.
Did you run the installer?
At the time of this writing, I recommend using the Ruby 2.0.0-p353.
http://dl.bintray.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/rubyinstaller-2.0.0-p353.exe?direct
Save yourself some future gem headaches and install the DevKit too.
http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/
It should create a folder at C:\Ruby200. Start a new command prompt for the new paths to take affect.
Once Ruby is install, gem install Rails. From your other post, I recommend gem install rails -v 3.2.16
Then execute rails new project_name, then cd project_name. Then run rake db:migrate to create the initial database. At this point, you should be able to run rails server and visit localhost:3000 in your browser.
OK, I've managed to solve my problem.
I've seen a few more people having the same issue, but none of the solutions that I've found helped me, so here's what did it for me, though I'm not 100% sure what exactly was that one thing that actually did it...
I've followed the advice #scarver2 gave in response to my other question, and uninstalled both Rails and Railties gems from my crispy fresh installation of Ruby 1.9.3. (I've installed it using RailsInstaller). Then I've installed Rails 3.2.16 gem by typing
gem install rails -v 3.2.16
and this also installed the corresponding Railties 3.2.16 gem without my intervention.
Then I followed steps from chapters 1.2.3. and 1.2.5. of the tutorial, but making sure that line referencing ruby version in my Gemfile actually corresponds to the version of Ruby that I have installed.
I typed
ruby -v
in the console, to make sure that I have version 1.9.3. indeed. Confirming this, I've edited the Gemfile in my app so it says
ruby '1.9.3'
instead of ruby '2.0.0' line that's used in Listing 1.5. of the tutorial.
After that I've simply went to my app folder, and typed
bundle update
bundle install
in the console, and this time it did not return any errors as it did in my previous attempts. After that, typing
rails server
did what it should have, and my WEBrick server booted, allowing me to access my app on localhost. Yay!
Now, what I think may have gone wrong the last time was either me screwing up the Gemfile, so the gem versions and their dependencies got messed up. I also assume that ineptly trying to fix this by installing and uninstalling different versions of various gems did not quite help. What may have helped was uninstalling Rails and Railties gems, and installing Rails gem again.
I'm having this error message come up during Capistrano deployment. It implies to me that something's wrong with Rails being installed or something? Rails is not currently installed on the server side, but it's in my Gemfile (and my Gemfile.lock), so I'm assuming it should be installed during the bundle install command that gets executed before this line.
The actual command that's giving the error is:
bundle exec rake RAILS_ENV=production RAILS_GROUPS=assets assets:precompile
I guess the problem is just that Rails is not being installed during the bundle install. Am I missing something?
Thanks!
UPDATE 1: Rails appears to be installing correctly via the bundle install command. If I check out the directory .../shared/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems, I can see action mailer in there.
UPDATE 2: Running the command rake assets:precompile actually fails locally as well, so this doesn't have anything to do with Capistrano it would appear. Now I just have to figure out why the config object doesn't know anything about action mailer?
UPDATE 3: Hot on the trail. It looks like my installed version of actionmailer is 0.6.1 (?!), meanwhile all the rest of my Rails stuff is up at 3.2.9. bundle update refuses to update actionmailer past this version. I'm going to remove all of my gems and start fresh.
UPDATE 4: Deleted my entire gemset using rvm gemset empty. Then tried to run bundle again, and again it tries to get actionmailer 0.6.1. I think something is screwed up with bundler or something...
The problem ended up being that I had removed a dependency upon a specific version of Rails in my Gemfile. I just had gem "rails" in there. That seemed to completely botch the dependency calculations, because it was getting super-old versions of action mailer rather than getting a consistent version from all gems. Guess it's a bad idea to not specify an exact Rails version. Yikes!
#aardvarkk,
Thanks for posting this issue, I was having the same error with my installation of Rails 4.0.0 and the error was preventing me from running my rails server
This is while I'm trying to follow the Hartl Tutorial for RoR.
I added gem "rails", '4.0.0' to my gem file and now I'm able to run my rails server.
Thank you
