Can't install redmine

Question

I've followed the instructions here:

http://docs.webfaction.com/software/redmine.html#installing-redmine

But, I get an error after running the step 6i, which is as follows:

Enter RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate and press Enter.

I get the following error:

[rammllc@web186 redmine-1.1.3]$ RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate

(in /home/rammllc/webapps/rails/redmine-1.1.3)
rake aborted!
undefined local variable or method `version_requirements' for #<rails::gemdependency:0xa1d8ddc>

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

Does anyone know the issue?

Our current default Rails installer sets up Rails 3.0.5, but Redmine won't work with that - it requires Rails 2.3.5. Please delete your Rails 3.0.5 app and install a Rails 2.3.5 app instead, then follow our installation procedure from step 2.

Hope that helps!

I did exactly what you suggested above. I am still getting the same error...here is the output with the trace:

RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate --trace
(in /home/rammllc/webapps/redmine/redmine-1.1.3)
Invoke db:migrate (first_time)
Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment

Do you know the issue?

Thanks,

Ok, sorry for the trouble. It looks like Redmine wants to use a version of RubyGems that is older than what is currently installed on your server. You can fix it by installing an older version of RubyGems locally with the following commands:

cd ~/webapps/redmine
export GEM_HOME=$PWD/gems
export PATH=$PWD/bin:$PATH
export RUBYLIB=$PWD/lib:$RUBYLIB
mkdir -p src && cd src
wget http://production.cf.rubygems.org/rubygems/rubygems-1.3.7.tgz
tar -xzf rubygems-1.3.7.tgz
cd rubygems-1.3.7
ruby setup.rb install --prefix=$HOME/webapps/redmine

After you've done that, continue from step 6.h in our Redmine doc.

Sorry again for the trouble!
