Why is Phusion Passenger refusing to recognize my updated RubyGems?

Question

I've updated RubyGems everywhere I can possibly think to update it:

but Phusion passenger keeps throwing the same error:

There is that one freaking place that shows 1.3.1 as the version, despite the file name of 1.3.6. I've obviously borked things up pretty badly here.

That is, I need to update to 1.3.2 or greater and that I currently have 1.3.1.

Any idea how in the world I can get PP to use the correct version of RubyGems and preferably change things so I don't have to face this problem again?

Could this have anything to do with different paths for RubyGems and Ruby environments? These are my environments:

Answer 1

That might be of several reasons.

First, verify that you don't have it to explicitly require the rubygem in environment.rb. That is, if you have a line like this:

config.gem "ruby_gems", :version => "1.3.1"

Then you'll have to remove the version from it.

Also, seeing that the rubygems-update gives the incorrect version, you might want to uninstall it.

sudo gem uninstall rubygems-update

Since you have updated it, that gem is not necessary anymore.

I don't think it will help, but I would probably uninstall the macports version of rubygem as well since that might create collisions, even though it doesn't seem like it in this case.

Update:

Since you are using the Ruby from the operating system you don't have to install rubygem through macports at all. To remove it:

sudo port uninstall rubygems

After that, make sure that you have upgraded the correct rubygem (the binary shows correct, but perhaps there is something missing)

sudo gem update --system

After you've done that. Open up irb (that is, irb and not the rails console) and check the following:

require 'rubygems'
puts Gem::RubyGemsVersion

Also, if you could paste how your apache/nginx configuration looks like, I doubt there is anything wrong in there, but you never know.

Answer 2

First, obtain the value of your PassengerRuby configuration. Then use that Ruby interpreter to run the following script:

http://pastie.org/862871

Like this:

/path-to-your-passenger-ruby-interpreter myscript.rb

and follow the instructions.
