Hi installing script redmine 0.8.6 and 0.8.7 fails with error messages.
Rails MySQL driver install failed :
INFO: gem install -y is now default and will be removed
INFO: use --ignore-dependencies to install only the gems you list
ERROR: Error installing mysql:
mysql requires Ruby version >= 1.8.6
Ruby is updated to 1.9.1p376 on the server while virtualmin keeps asking for >=1.8.6
Please advise.
Status:
Closed (fixed)

did a ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock since the install script is looking for /tmp while another part of the install scripts looks for /var/lib...

Do you perhaps have two copies of Ruby on the system?
Also, did that mysql symlink help any?

yes, it was impossible 4 me to update because the packages didn't exist, so I compiled/installed.
yes the symlink got it to work.
thanks

Ok, cool .. it looks like the underlying cause was a disagreement between MySQL and ruby as to the location of the mysql socket file. This can happen if they were installed from different sources ..
