Hi everyone.  I am upgrading from 1.6 on a windows box with mysql.  When following the detailed upgrade instructions I am getting this error and wondering if I have to do anything with ruby first.  Cheers, —chris

Ruby version is 1.8.6 FWIW.

The error is not related to tracks, but to ruby gems.

This version of tracks is using rails2.2.2. You need to upgrade your gems and most important your rubygems package to 1.3.1. The later is not straightforward, you first need to install rubygems-update and then update rubygems.

Thanks Reinier.  I did the updates and am now getting a different error, which I guess is progress.  Thanks much.

Did you create the site.yml from the template?

Yes, salt is set to the same as what I am upgrading from.  Upgraded all gems by now, did the rubygems-update and update rubygems things.  If you think that this is important to figure out for developer knowledge let me know, otherwise I am on the verge of uninstalling and reinstalling ruby.  c

hm, are you using the new environment.rb from the download or are you using your old environment.rb?

I do not think this error has anything to do with your ruby/rails/gems install, so reinstallation will not help I think

That did the trick, thanks for the attention.  I think that the upgrade options at http://www.getontracks.org/doc/chapter/3-upgrading.html is a little unclear, I glossed over the verbiage and just followed the numbered steps which seemed to tell me to copy over all of the config files from my old install.

Anyway, I promise to be a better reader in the future, thanks again for all of the help with this. —chris

great that the upgrade turned out to be a success. I will check the upgrading instructions.
