Question

I am having a problem with my rails install on ubuntu 11.04 and not sure what the problem is …i just installed rails and passenger and rvm on production and all seems ok but for some reason i keep getting

Missing the Rails 2.3.11 gem. Please `gem install -v=2.3.11 rails`,

Here is the link

when i am on the application and i do

gem list

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

actionmailer (2.3.11)
actionpack (2.3.11)
activerecord (2.3.11)
activeresource (2.3.11)
activesupport (2.3.11)
bundler (1.0.21)
rack (1.1.2)
rails (2.3.11)
rake (0.9.2.2)

so it doesnt make sense what is going on and why its telling me that i dont have rails installed…any ideas on what im doing wrong

Here is my rvm info

rvm list

rvm rubies

It could be that your passenger is not using the RVM environment at all. For that to work out of the box, you need to

• have your app run under the ubuntu user (which it doesn’t do by default, it uses the webserver user www-data by default) and setting proper defaults so that the correct ruby and gemset is used RVM, or to
• set up full passenger integration for RVM. See http://beginrescueend.com/integration/passenger/ for more info about that.

Note that passenger can only use exactly one ruby at a time. While you can use different gemsets on the same ruby in a single passenger instance (e.g. fpr multiple applications), you can not switch between rubies.
