Mongrel not finding correct ruby path

Server Mongrel
1

hello all,

i have been trying to figure this out for the last few hours, and after
seemingly exhausting all the google search results, i figured i would
try
this mailing list…

i just updated the ruby version on my ubuntu dapper drake box to the
most
recent version. i installed it into /usr/local/bin
problematically, the previous installation was in /usr/bin
mongrel still complains that:
“Ruby version is not up-to-date; loading cgi_multipart_eof_fix”

from looking at /usr/bin/mongrel_rails, i can see that the first line of
the
file is:
#!/usr/bin/ruby1.8
which is the old version of ruby (1.8.4)
I tried changing the shebang to the correct path of
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby
but then it gave me an error that it couldn’t find “rubygems”

every other method i could think of to have it point to the right place
(such as moving the new ruby binary into the /usr/bin directory along
with
the rdoc, ri, etc. files) all resulted in the same problem with rubygems
not
being found.

does anyone have any idea how i can get mongrel to see the correct,
updated
version of ruby??

thanks…

Have you installed rubygems in your new ruby installation?

See here, Ruby on Rails — A web-app framework that includes everything needed to create database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern., where the first step after
installing ruby is to install rubygems.

This is where rubygems sits in my 1.8.6 ruby install:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems

So, maybe you need to check your $PATH, check ruby -v , then install
rubygems.

You can point GEM_HOME to your old rubygems folder and it should work.
