Cpanel gems installation errors

You need ssh access to server to perform all these tasks

Did you get an errors like this when installing gems on cpanel


Missing these required gems:
will_paginate

You're running:
ruby 1.8.7.173 at /usr/bin/ruby
rubygems 1.3.5 at /home/bronze/ruby/gems, /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/

Run `rake gems:install` to install the missing gems.


You need to add path in your .bashrc file


if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bashrc
fi

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/ruby/gems/bin
export GEM_PATH=$HOME/ruby/gems:/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/
export GEM_HOME=$HOME/ruby/gems


And this to your config/environment.rb file


ENV['GEM_PATH'] = '/home/username/ruby/gems:/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/'


Note:

Must replace username with your server username

What next

Source your .bashrc file or create new ssh session by logging out and logging in back

In most cases you won't have your .bashrc and .bash_profile file and you need this to make it work

Code for .bash_profile


if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi


Encoding::UndefinedConversionError Ruby/Rails

Problem is you opening a binary file and writing it somewhere on other file using ruby/rails

Solution

open file as binary and write it back


File.open(target_file, 'w+b', 0644) do |file|
file.write(destination_file.data)
end
