Good Afternoon,
I am fairly new to Ruby on Rails and im am having countless problems
with the deployment of a eccommerce site onto a linux server, i am
currently onto my second hosting company (www.eukhost.com) and have
purchase a VPS.
As the first company we went with took down the site as it was using
high level of the CPU around 80%(Aventurehost.com) Reseller Account.
after a little playing aroung with the config etc the site was working
fine although running alittle slow on first hosting company but as i
said was taken down.
i was reccommended to go for a VPS and that they didnt have any VPS
packages left we had to look else where.
Now we have the VPS but now cant get the site running at all and the
hosting company dont have a clue on what is wrong.
Where we are at:-
The site has been uploaded to the server, a database has been created,
the rails apps has been added and a rewrite has been made. i have asked
the eukhost to install all of the gems that are needed for the site to
run as they have told me this has been done,
The Problem,
When we try to run the apps via the CPANEL we get a error on the mongral
log saying :
“/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rmagick-2.2.2/lib/RMagick2.so:
libMagickCore.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory - /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rmagick-2.2.2/lib/RMagick2.so
(LoadError)”
we have informed the host of this issue but they dont have a clue how to
solve it and all the information we can find on the internet is
Help! I’m getting the message “libMagickWand.so.1: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory” I know ImageMagick is installed!
What should I do?
The full text of the message is:
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rmagick-2.2.2/lib/RMagick2.so:
libMagickWand.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory - /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rmagick-2.2.2/lib/RMagick2.so
(LoadError)
The message will be slightly different if you are installing RMagick
from source or you’ve installed GraphicsMagick.
This message is extremely confusing. It looks like Ruby is complaining
that it can’t find RMagick.so, but actually Ruby is complaining that it
can’t find libMagickWand.so.
Unless you specify a different directory when you run the configure
script, the ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick shared object file
(libMagickWand.so or libGraphicsMagick.so) is installed in the
/usr/local/lib directory. However, the Linux dynamic linker/loader only
looks for shared objects in /lib and /usr/lib by default. You have to
add /usr/local/lib to the list of locations it searches. The easiest way
to do this is to use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. Add this
statement to one of your start-up files:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
But this doesnt help and just generates more errors any help is greatly
needed,
Error when the export lib path was added:-
/home/italy/public_html/config/environments/production.rb:22:in
load_environment': compile error (SyntaxError) /home/italy/public_html/config/environments/production.rb:22: unknown regexp options - lcal from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.6/lib/initializer.rb:209:in load_environment’
All help is greatly needed thanks in advance,
Chris,
