I am running:

centos 5,
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [x86_64-linux]

actionmailer (2.3.3, 2.1.2)
actionpack (2.3.3, 2.1.2)
activerecord (2.3.3, 2.1.2)
activeresource (2.3.3, 2.1.2)
activesupport (2.3.3, 2.1.2)
chronic (0.2.3)
fastercsv (1.5.0)
fastthread (1.0.7)
hoe (2.3.3)
mislav-will_paginate (2.3.11)
mysql (2.8.1, 2.7)
packet (0.1.15)
passenger (2.2.4)
rack (1.0.0)
rails (2.3.3, 2.1.2)
rake (0.8.7)
rubyforge (1.0.4)
thor (0.11.5)

I am transferring this app from another Centos server where it has
been running for 3 years.

Any ideas?

sudo rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production --trace
(in /var/www/rails/myloanladder.com)
** Invoke db:migrate (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
** Execute db:migrate
Virtual timer expired

I noticed this as well. I fear this has something to do with
permissions. Currently everything is:

sudo chown -R apache:apache .

[Edwin Moss]

This turned out to be permissions related and ssl configuration
related. I was able to track down the problem by first getting the app
to run in a non-ssl virtual host - to get the ownership happy, in my
case 'chown -R apache:apache .' - then messing with the ssl virtual
config using webmin instead of editing the virtual host by text
editor.

I am NOT a fan of Centos. Oh, btw, I had to disable SELinux early on
in this game that Centos people play.

[Edwin Moss]

hmm, still getting the virutal timer expired error.

[Edwin Moss]

ah, running wrong version of REE 1.8.6-20090421

http://groups.google.com/group/emm-ruby/browse_thread/thread/247b228549b213b2

Needed 1.8.6-20090610

Finally!

Hopefully this will help others.
