Debian installation issues

[Thomas]

Hi,

i am trying to install Gitorious on latest Debian 6.0.4 but i am
running into some problems and hope there is somebody out here who
might be able to help.

I followed this article: http://gitorious.org/gitorious/pages/DebianSqueezeInstallation
I installed the latest versions of all 3rd party applications like
Ruby-Enterprise, Sphinx and ActiveMQ.

Could it have to do with some incompatible versions or "gems" ?

Here is the error when i try to start the daemon:

/etc/init.d/git-daemon start

Hi there,

I wrote the original article. I haven't done a fresh install since
6.0.0 but I've kept up with all the associated versions:
debian 6.0.4
sphinx 2.0.3
activemq-5.5.1
ruby-enterprise 1.8.7-2012.02

I've never seen your particular error. However, I noticed that I have
a few gems that don't match your versions. Are you using bundle
install ? Also, what version of gitorious are you trying to run ? I
usually stick to the tagged versions, currently v2.1.1. The "guide"
is a bit all over the place but it should still work if followed
carefully.

When I upgraded to the latest ruby-enterprise, I did notice a few
things. Rake would abort with:
You have already activated rake 0.9.2.2, but your Gemfile requires
rake 0.8.7. Using bundle exec may solve this.

This is solved with using 'bundle exec rake', wherever rake is used.
However, a new error was produced:
uninitialized constant ActiveSupport::Dependencies::Mutex
/webapps/gitorious/Rakefile:10:in `require'

This was then solved by adding
require 'thread'
to config/boot.rb (despite the warning at the beginning of the file).
I found these solutions out on the web - I'm not quite sure if this is
the "right" way to do it or not.

Back to your issue, if you're still having problems feel free to
contact me directly or reply back to this list.
