LoadError running Mongrel with Rails3 and Ruby 1.9

I am new to programming (previously only did html/css/design) trying to start learning RoR via the book Simply Rails 2. However I want to start with the most recent versions of Ruby(1.9.2) and Rails (3) so I am forced to get everything configured without the book. I have looked a lot via google and on stackoverflow. When I run rails server it automatically uses Webrick, but I want to be using Mongrel. I installed the prerelease Mongrel via gem install mongrel --pre and removed the previous version. I read that in order to get Mongrel to work with rails server I had to add gem 'mongrel' to the Gemfile, but I do not know which one I should be adding it to (I tried several but nothing changed). So I decided to look at mongrel documentation via git and learned about mongrel_rails start when I run that I get this:

I would appreciate any help so that I can get on to actually learning the language!

EDIT: I was able to get past the above issue thanks to @duddle but now I have another issue...I am getting this error:

My best guess at this point (1am...very tired) is that I am missing a file or something is not named as it should be..maybe i need to use the :require action in my Gemfile..maybe I just need to sleep on it. Ha.

Again, thanks a ton @duddle for getting me past the first error! Any more help is greatly appreciated!

回答1:

You have already activated mongrel 1.2. 0.pre2, but your Gemfile requires mongrel 1.1.5. Consider using bundle exec. is the key but I have not been able to solve it.

You were almost there!

gem 'mongrel', '>= 1.2.0.pre2'

The second parameter tells bundler to require a version equal to or greater than 1.2.0.pre2, which you have to use when using Ruby 1.9.2.

The Bundler page provides a nice reference on how to use the Gemfile: http://gembundler.com/gemfile.html

回答2:

Just in case you didn't figure it out.

I ran gem install 'dispatcher' and added gem 'dispatcher' in the Gemfile of my app. Then everything was fine.

From the small experience I have with ruby, everytime I have a "require -- no such file to load" problem. It is because I am missing a specific gem.

Hth...

回答3:

add this line to your gem file:

gem 'mongrel', '>= 1.2.0.pre2'

at the command prompt:

run bundle install

start mongrel using this command:

rails server

回答4:

Hey, I ran into that problem, the solution was quite simple:

Just add the gem 'dispatch'

;-)

回答5:

The mongrel gem isn’t compatible with Ruby 1.9.2; you’ll have to use gem 'sho-mongrel' in its place.

回答6:

Try to install it using:

gem install mongrel --pre

It worked for me perfect!!!
