Problems installing puppet-dashboard

Question

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (32bit, Server), puppet 2.7.17, ruby 1.8.7.352 rubygems 1.8.15. and Apache 2.2.22.

When I try to run the command to migrate the DB,

<server>:/usr/share/puppet-dashboard# rake RAILS_ENV=production db:migrate

I get the following error:

When I first tried to start the puppet-dashboard service it complained it could not find rake ~> 1.1.0 so I installed that.

Now I get the following error:

Missing these required gems:
 rack  >= 0

However...

# gem list
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
hiera (0.3.0)
rack (1.4.1, 1.1.0)
rack-test (0.6.1)

rack is clearly installed. After reading this question I even removed rack 1.4.1 leaving only 1.1.0, but I got the same error.

The puppet-dashboard said not to use the rubygems version in 10.04 LTS, but did not say that the packaged version in 12.04 LTS would also not work.

After one suggestion from the mailing list, I ran the script listed in the puppet-dashboard manual and downgraded my gem install to 1.3.7.

I also installed the rdoc gem.

Between these two changes, it fixed the problem.

On a brand new install of Ubuntu 12.04 Server AMD64 I ran the following two commands to get the db:migrate to work:

sudo gem install rack --version=1.1.0
sudo gem install rack --version=1.1.2

Other than this change, I followed the install documentation exactly and it worked. I have no idea if both of these are required, but the first alone merely changes the error message slightly. :-)

You might also be interested in the Ruby Version Manager. This tool supports multiple ruby environments on the same box, without gem conflicts.
