Amahi Forums

Hi
I have studied all replies in the forum and I have also tried the various 'fixes' but after days of effort I still get the following screen when accessing http://hda. Can someone please help I need to get some sleep.

A source file that the application requires, is missing.

*
It is possible that you didn't upload your application files correctly. Please check whether all your application files are uploaded.

A required library may not installed. Please install all libraries that this application requires.

Further information about the error may have been written to the application's log file. Please check it in order to analyse the problem.

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Have to tried some of the options listed in this post (http://forums.amahi.org/viewtopic.php?f ... ruby+rails)?

I cannot be of much help, but maybe searching the forums might yield an answer. If not, I am sure our ruby experts will reply soon.

Try running the following commands as root in a terminal (su root):

gem install pluginfactory
gem install rack -v=1.0.0

If it gives any more errors past that, go ahead and post here again. The Fedora version of Passenger sometimes needs an edit or two.

Thank you so much for your replies guys and a really big thank you to cale250, your suggestion did the trick. I can get somw sleep tonight

I am an Amahi noob. One of my failed attempts to setup my Amahi server also gave some kind of Phusion Passenger error that I never managed to solve (except by reinstalling from scratch)

what was annoying was that there was no good error text in all the logged info.

since fault tracing these days mosty involves googling the error text, it is very important that a good error text is
* available
* easy to find
* easy to understand
* easy to google

Over time, we have been learning how to make Amahi install more and more reliably.

We protect against dozens of failure scenarios.

However, we still depend on one - the "gem" repos being present, so that pluginfactory, sinatra and perhaps other things are installed when needed. (Gems are the way ruby libraries are packaged)

Well, the gem repos vanished in the last three days, that is why we're seeing such a high incident rate of ruby/phusion errors.

Apologies for not protecting against that. In the past we have tried to package these gems ourselves, however, it's not easy in a few cases. We will have to try harder.
