?? You originally said the app was developed using Rails 2.3.2.
And there is no such thing as "Rails 1.3.7"...

Why would you need that if you're using MySQL?

> gem install --remote jdbc-mysql

?! Unless you're actually using JRuby, which seems unlikely, why
would you think you need that?

If I were you, I would go back to the original machine and determine
which gems and gem versions the *running* app is actually using and
create an rvm gemset with exactly those (and only those) gems...

I don't know if bundler will work with such an old version of Ruby, but
creating a Gemfile would at least document your dependencies and
help you through upgrading.

Good luck,

Thank you Hassan,

Yes, the dependencies I am putting in are from the original system BUT at one time that was set up to run JRuby, and I believe that is where my problem might be stemming.

Additionally, you are right about theire being no rails 1.3.7, that line should actually be the following lines:

rvm install rubygems 1.3.7
gem install rails -v 2.3.2

and hence my install script should now appear as:


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install curl
curl -L get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --auto
. ~/.bash_profile
rvm requirements
rvm install 1.8.6
ruby -v
rvm install rubygems 1.3.7
gem install rails -v 2.3.2
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
sudo apt-get install nodejs
gem install --remote mysql2
gem install --remote jdbc-mysql
gem install --remote authlogic --version 2.0.13
gem install --remote calendar_date_select --version 1.15
gem install --remote mongrel
gem install --remote paginator
gem install --remote pdf-writer
gem install --remote log4r
gem install --remote needle
gem install --remote nifty-generators
gem install --remote RedCloth
gem install --remote ruport
gem install --remote rubyzip --version 0.9.1
gem install --remote ruport-util
gem install --remote mailfactory
gem install --remote acts_as_reportable
gem list --local
then, from the top folder of the rails app itself:
ruby script/plugin install git://github.com/activescaffold/active_scaffold.git --force
ruby script/plugin install git://github.com/lackac/render_component.git -r rails-edge --force
ruby script/plugin install git://github.com/craigambrose/redbox.git --force

Thank You!
