Ruby Gem Updates and Additions

Posted (January 24th, 2007 at 3:13 pm PST) by Dallas

We are starting to roll out some Ruby gem updates and additions. We always try to leave at least two versions of every gem installed so these upgrades add a newer version while the previous most recent version is also left installed. Let our support team know if you experience any issues with these updated gems. They are not yet rolled out to all servers so before contacting our support team, be sure to make sure your issue is related to a gem version change.

These Ruby gems are being newly installed: hoe 1.1.7, camping 1.5, unicode 0.1, ajax_scaffold 2.2.1, gruff 0.2.8

These Ruby gems are being upgraded: ParseTree 1.6.3, rubyforge 0.4.0, RubyInline 3.6.2, acts_as_taggable 2.0.2, capistrano 1.3.1, daemons 1.0.3, ferret 0.10.13, gen 0.41.0, glue 0.41.0, geoip 0.3.0, nitro 0.41.0, og 0.41.0, daemons 0.4.2

This is off topic but when do you think you guys will have an upgrade option for Word press 2,1? Thanks!

This is great, but I’d really love to see you guys do something so that people can actually run rails apps without the random FastCgi 500 errors. Google it, and you’ll see lots of dreamhosters who think they’ve solved it, but really haven’t, or others who have cut the error rate down. Some people claim to have completely eliminated the errors, but then the same steps don’t solve it for others. This is really a dreamhost problem, but people are finding workarounds, since dreamhost has failed to truly fix the problem. I wouldn’t think about using dreamhost for hosting a site that I was paid for until this is really fixed.

If you want Rails 1.2.1:

1. Navigate to your Rails project’s directory.
2. Type “rake rails:freeze:edge TAG=rel_1-2-1″

That will install Rails 1.2.1 into vendor/rails. This allows you absolute control of the Rails version you are running. It is also a good idea to freeze on shared hosts so that if they upgrade and you are unprepared for it, you are still running off your expected version. I believe DHH is going to make Rails freeze itself in vendor/rails in the Rails 2.0 world. Might as well get started with good practices now.

Great stuff, any idea when the server “heath” will be updated ? I second the request for any work you can do to eliminate fcgi 500 issues. Support for mongrel would be amazing !
