No such file to load bundler error for Rails 3

kgpdeveloper picture kgpdeveloper · Apr 3, 2010 · Viewed 20.5k times · Source

I have a Rails 3 app ready for staging.

I haven't got a VPS host set up yet. As I was planning to have everything on shared host for the first few months.

Problem:

cd myapp bundle check result:

The Gemfile's dependencies are satisfied

Passenger error:

Error message:
    no such file to load -- bundler
Exception class:
    LoadError

Frustrating thing about shared hosts is that I have to add these lines on config.ru:

ENV['GEM_HOME'] = '/home/username/.gems'
ENV['GEM_PATH'] = '$GEM_HOME:/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8'

Still no luck. Same no such file to load bundler error appears.

Has anybody got this working? Rails 3, Debian, shared host (dreamhost)?

I could just go ahead and register on Slicehost/Fivebean but before I do, I'd like to know why that error is showing up.

Thanks.

The solution is here http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/integration/passenger/. You need to point your HTTP server to passenger_ruby wrapper instead of bin/ruby.

E.g. for RVM & Apache it should be something like that:

PassengerRuby /Users/username/.rvm/bin/passenger_ruby
