I seem unable to install Gitorious. I am trying not to install Ruby Enterprise Edition, but apart from that I have been following the instructions for Ubunut (there were some errors but I have gotten around those). I have installed a number of missing packages and gems, but now I am stuck when I try to migrate the database. I get the following error:

rake aborted!

undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

Trace looks like this:

My understanding is I this is claiming I'm missing some dependency, but I have checked that the dependencies in /var/www/gitorious/config/environment.rb have been installed.

I also put a print in custom_require.rb to print the path variable and the last print is "active_support/dependencies".

Does anyone have any idea what the problem is or how I could debug this further? Can I print the exact missing dependency somehow? Is it even possible to install gitorious without installing the entire Ruby Enterprise edition?

+2  A: 

I asked about this from the Gitorious discussion group and the reason is the default gitorious.yml file only has settings for test environment. By copying those settings to the production environment, I got this problem fixed.
