Error installing Mongrel on Solaris 9

Server Mongrel
1

Hi all,

We’ve installed RoR on Solaris 9, and are attempting to install Mongrel
using the following command:gem install mongrelgetting error “SSL is not
installed on this system”.All other gems (including Rake) installed
fine.Any suggestions?Thanks,Brian

Latest mongrel gems are “signed”, in that way you are sure is our gem
and noone else.

RubyGems shouldn’t yell at you about missing OpenSSL since you didn’t
use the “-P HighSecurity” parameter, or did you?

Hi Luis,

Nope…didn’t use the -P HighSecurity" parameter.

Thanks,

Sorry for my ignorance, but how would we install SSL library for Ruby?

Brian, I’ve dealt with Solaris 8 and 10 installations. I generally
use the Blastwave package system to get what I need. It’s not up to
par with most Linux and FreeBSD package systems, but easier than the
default Solaris stuff.

Ok, that means that actually RubyGems is using SSL even you didn’t
asked for it…

I’ll try to recreate the scenario later today and maybe submit a patch
for rubygems.

You don’t have alternative or don’t want to install SSL?

Hi Luis,

We still have not been able to get past this error. We do have OpenSSL
installed not the machine. Rake installed fine, which I thought also
needed SSL???

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Brian

For reasons beyond my control, I cannot install blastwave software on
our system. However, I am seeing openssl files in both the Ruby
(/var/ruby/ruby-1.8.6/ext) and Sun directories. Does this mean that it
is installed and just needs configured?

Thanks Luis…

RubyGemsVersion 0.8.11

Mongrel version 1.0.4…we also have a Mongrel 1.1 folder but I don’t
see a gem file with it.

The --debug install options below didn’t generate anything.

The Rake gem isn’t signed, the Mongrel one is.

As I commented, it seems rubygems is trying to verify gem signature
even that you didn’t require it, which sounds odd when you comment
that have OpenSSL installed.

Any ideas?

  • What version of rubygems do you have? use (gem -v) or (gem env) to
    get the info

I don’t remember if 0.9.4 have --debug support to show the backtrace
with the problem, but please try it:

gem --debug install mongrel

also:

gem --debug install mongrel -P HighSecurity

I’ll check later today for some workaround. Please excuse the
inconvenience.

1.1 is fine for production although there is a (now) known bug with
mongrel_rails restart.

Oh, you should try update rubygems at least… version 0.9.4 is the
latest stable published.

But I’ll try to get that version running on my sandbox and see what
happens.

Too many version compatibility mismatches :stuck_out_tongue:

Mongrel version 1.0.4…we also have a Mongrel 1.1 folder but I don’t
see a gem file with it.

I think 1.1 is not ready for production, maybe I’m wrong (was offline
for almost a week).

Upgrading rubygems to 0.9.4 and mongrel 1.1 resolved the issue.

Thanks for your help!
