Is this for a new rails app or have you picked up an app already written?

Dear Colin,

Thanks for your response,

I have picked app already written called Fedena ( http://www.projectfedena.org/ )

Have you kept the files Gemfile.lock and Gemfile *exactly* as they
were in the version you picked up (which guarantees that you have the
same versions of gems as the original)? Note that you must not run
bundle update or that may update gem versions. You should just run
bundle install. If you are in any doubt then restore Gemfile and
Gemfile.lock and run bundle update.

By the way, I would prefer it if you could not top post, but insert
you reply at the appropriate point(s) in the previous message. It
makes it easier to follow the thread. Thanks.

Colin

Dear Colin,

Thanks but I think I hit a wrong button, this time I have pressed the top red POST REPLY button, hope it should be correct

Below are the procedures I followed in the installation process

[root@i-3781-9521-VM ~]# cp master projectfedena-projectfedena_v2.0-a213125.tar.gz
[root@i-3781-9521-VM ~]# rm master
[root@i-3781-9521-VM ~]# chmod 777 projectfedena-projectfedena_v2.0-a213125.tar.gz
[root@i-3781-9521-VM ~]# tar -xvf projectfedena-projectfedena_v2.0-a213125.tar.gz

I then changed the folder to apps instead of projectfedena-projectfedena_v2.0-a213125

At this point, still when I looked in apps folder, neither Gemfile.lock nor Gemfile where present, hence I decided to run

cd /apps

then

rails new apps

this generated neither Gemfile.lock and Gemfile files

Sorry in my last post, the last sentence I meant to say

this generated both Gemfile.lock and Gemfile

No, you have still posted at the top. You have to click the three
little dots down at the bottom left of the window after clicking
Reply, which will show the previous message. Then you can insert your
new message at the appropriate point.

In config/environment.rb does it specify RAILS_GEM_VERSION? If so what is it?
If not then post environment.rb here.

Thank you Colin,

I have not been able to locate the three dots like how I see them in my gmail inbox browser

But now I have put the post at the bottom of the message, hope this will display correctly, if not them I am direct my messages to my inbox

then I will be replying from there.

In the config/environment.rb there is not RAILS_GEM_VERSION. but the only text I could find there are as follow below

# Load the Rails application.

require File.expand_path('../application', __FILE__)

# Initialize the Rails application.

Rails.application.initialize!

Many thanks

Advo

This is fine, thanks.

Looking at config/environmet.rb at
https://github.com/projectfedena/fedena/blob/master/config/environment.rb
there is a RAILS_GEM_VERSION, which says it needs rails 2.3. It seems
from you earlier posts that you have picked up an even older version
of fedena. However even rails 2.3 is way out of date and no longer
supported, so this is a big problem.

Have you been following the instructions on
http://projectfedena.org/install

Thanks Colin,

I can see a very huge difference on the environment.rb

I have been following this link for tutorial https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-ruby-on-rails-with-rbenv-on-centos-7

AND https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Fedena/Installation

Best regards,

I am pretty sure that fedena does not work out of the box with these
versions. The last time a bunch of people were asking about it, it turns
out to be a Rails 2.x app, working on 1.8.x

So do you need any further help?

I should point out that you should not be using a rails 2.3 app on a
public website, as it is no longer supported I am sure there will be
security flaws. I presume that fedena is basically dead as it has not
been upgraded.

Dear Colin,
Thanks you for your support
Yes I still need help, but I am reluctant to use Fedena if its no longer supported then it will be difficult for me. I will need to confirm first before I can proceed
I will be back to you
Thanks again
Advo

You have to use ruby 1.8 and rails 2.3 , project fedena won't work in ruby 2.2, use this guide for deploying fedena http://aboobacker.in/deploying-fedena-using-ubuntu-14-04/
