How to upgrade Redmine? (Ruby/Rake related)

I have a Redmine 1.3.0 installation which I am trying to upgrade to 1.4.4.

I have followed the instructions here - http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineUpgrade - by copying the relevant files into a new redmine-1.4.4 directory alongside the current installation. But when I get to the stage with rake generate_secret_token, this fails because rake is not on the path. If I run the installed version of rake directly, ie. ../bin/rake generate_secret_token, I get a more complex error:

1
2
3

    from /usr/local/ruby1.8.7ee/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:255:in `activate'
    from /usr/local/ruby1.8.7ee/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:1204:in `gem'
    from ../bin/rake:18

So obviously I need to be doing something else with ruby/rake/etc to get this to work. What is this, and is it documented anywhere? Or is there some Webfaction-specific way I should be handling this upgrade?

redmine rake upgrade ruby

You probably need to set your environment variables as described at the top of the WebFaction Rails documentation.

cd ~/webapps/your_app
export PATH=$PWD/bin:$PATH
export GEM_HOME=$PWD/gems
export RUBYLIB=$PWD/lib

Hope that helps!
