I have an app running on my localhost which I want to install on my hosting account. The host is Bluehost and they appear to support RoR, as evidenced by this tutorial which I am trying to follow precisely.

The thing I'm stuck on is where my ruby gems should be? I'm currently unable to bundle install even immediately after gem install bundler so I'm pretty sure my app is looking in the wrong place. But before I can correct that, I think I need to know what is the right place.

Currently it appears there are gems here: ~/ruby/gems/gems

This is my app's /config/environment.rb file:

# Load the rails application
require File.expand_path('../application', __FILE__)

# Initialize the rails application
Goodwatching::Application.initialize!

ENV['GEM_PATH'] = '/home5/secretde/ruby/gems/gems:/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8'

Currently I can install a gem like this gem install bundler and it succeeds. But then afterwards I try bundle install and it says to intall bundler first.

The bundle installfail means that you are unable to find the path to bundle executable.

Your PATH must to include the path to bundle executable.

You could tray something like ~/ruby/gems/gems/bundler/bin/bundle install to workaround the path problem.

  • Thanks. If that's the work around, what's the "right" way to do it? – emersonthis May 09 '13 at 15:12
  • You should add a symlink to bundle in your path. With `echo $PATH`you will have the paths where the execs should live. Try to create a symlink with `ln -s ~/ruby/gems/gems/bundler/bin/bundle ~/bin/bundle` if ~/bin exists in your path. Then you should be able to call `bundle install` directly. – TlmaK0 May 11 '13 at 07:18
