Question

RVM ruby 1.8.7 running debugger fails when starting web server

Answer 1

+1 A:

Do you have rvm configured correctly?

Run which gem to check you are using the rvm version of gem. When you run gem install ruby-debug, what happens?

Check the permissions on the files/folders in your $GEM_HOME as well to make sure they are readable by you - I've had problems with gems being installed as root read-only before.

Edit

Try running sudo ./script/server --debugger to make sure it isn't a permissions issue.

Can you debug a basic ruby script successfully?

$ cat test.rb
#!/path/to/ruby
debugger
puts 'Hello world'
$ rdebug /path/to/test.rb

Can you run rdebug ./script/server?

which gem:../.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p302/bin/gemgem install ruby-debug: Successfully installed ruby-debug-0.10.3I also have read permissions on all those folders

You shouldn't use sudo with RVM, if you need to sudo on a ruby action with RVM installed, you'll want to use `rvmsudo`

sudo ./script/server --debugger worksIs that still using rvm 1.8.7 or is it using rvm system?I can get it to work using rvm system already

Oops, yeah using `sudo` would use system gems. Could you run the debugger over a script (ie outside of the Rails framework)?
