I am relatively new at linux, and completely new at ruby, so assume you’re talking to your grandmother when asking me questions :D

Ubuntu 9.04, ruby 1.8.7, mysql 5, tracks 1.7

I’ve gotten to the line in his guide (http://www.cooldown.com.ar/2006/12/16/install-tracks-on-ubuntu-or-debian/) that says “sudo rake db_schema_import”

It fails. Badly, I think. The one thing I did differently from the guide is that I downloaded tracks from the main tracks page by clicking on the “Get Tracks 1.7” button, rather than installing subversion and going from there.

This is the output:

I can’t find anything on the forums or on the intertubes that has been remotely helpful for this specific error. I am not even sure what the error is indicating since I dont know how rake works.

Any direction would be extremely helpful.

please note that the guide is from dec 2006 and is outdated… But if it works, it works

the subversion repository is not current anymore. We’re working with github. You choose well to get the packages tracks 1.7 from the website.

for step 7, call

rake db:migrate


This will create an empty database. Follow the guide further.

Now I get:

hmm, the guide you used asks you to rename environment.rb. This is not the case anymore.

Please restore environment.rb and copy site.yml.tmpl to site.yml and fill it with your preferences.

I made the changes you suggested, ran it again and got an error about missing file openssl.
The google told me to run this:

and the the rake db:migrate worked properly

On to the rest of the guide! (unless there is a better one for my setup, but methinksive gotten to all the platform-specific stuff)

good luck

I’m writting a guide on how to install tracks 1.7 ith MySQL+Apache+modrails on ubuntu 8.10 it should work fine with 9.04.

I’ll let you know as soon as its done.

EDIT:
It’s done
