Your advice is the clearest I have found (for example, other sources are not clear as to which directory the files go in, and don't give the advice about touching tmp/restart.txt). A lot of time has passed, and DreamHost has an up-to-date version of Rack (using 'gem list --local' shows version 1.1.0) so I didn't need a local install of Rack. The other thing I found (and which I have seen advice on elsewhere) was that Passenger did not find sinatra/lib/sinatra.rb. Putting the full path in my config.ru: require '/home/USERNAME/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/sinatra-0.9.4/lib/sinatra.rb' solved that problem. There is advice here about logging: http://blog.yetisoftware.com/2009/03/07/sinatra-on-dreamhost/ So I created a log directory under my domain and added these lines to my config.ru log = File.new("log/sinatra.log", "w") STDOUT.reopen(log) STDERR.reopen(log) and it worked. Note that the log file is recreated on each restart. This was useful - the log told me about deprecated code in the config.ru file: config.ru:8: warning: Sinatra::Application.default_options is deprecated; use 'set' instead. config.ru:8: warning: The :env option is deprecated; use :environment instead. config.ru:14: warning: Sinatra.application is deprecated; use Sinatra::Application instead. These changes to my config.ru removed the warnings: require 'rubygems' require '/home/USERNAME/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/sinatra-0.9.4/lib/sinatra.rb' set :environment, :production disable :run log = File.new("log/sinatra.log", "w") STDOUT.reopen(log) STDERR.reopen(log) require 'test.rb' run Sinatra::Application Thank you very much for this.

These changes to my config.ru removed the warnings:

require ‘rubygems’
require ’/home/USERNAME/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/sinatra-0.9.4/lib/sinatra.rb’

set :environment, :production
disable :run

log = File.new(“log/sinatra.log”, “w”)
STDOUT.reopen(log)
 STDERR.reopen(log)

require ‘test.rb’
run Sinatra::Application

It took me hours to get this to work. I had the files in the wrong directory or wasn't pointing at the right gem .rb file... Now I can finally start developing! Thank you.

I'm running into the same dreaded "can't activate rack (>= 0.9.1, < 1.0, runtime), already activated rack-0.4.0", and am at an impasse. If you did, and if you happen to come back to read this blog :), could you shoot me an email? @JohnB, did you ever find a solution to your problem?

I've installed Sinatra-0.9.0.4 locally in ~/.gems dir but am getting the dreaded "can't activate rack (>= 0.9.1, runtime), already activated rack-0.4.0" and then if I uninstall rack (yeah, I know, not a good idea) I get "RubyGem version error: rack(0.3.0 not >= 0.9.1)" - which makes some sense due to the sinatra version I've installed but its a bit odd that it now complains about 0.3.0 instead of 0.4.0. I can try down-revving sinatra to a version that will work with rack 0.3.0 but it seems like the wrong direction. Any suggestions? I’m using dreamhost. I’ve installed Sinatra-0.9.0.4 locally in ~/.gems dir but am getting the dreaded
“can’t activate rack (>= 0.9.1, runtime), already activated rack-0.4.0”

and then if I uninstall rack (yeah, I know, not a good idea) I get “RubyGem version error: rack(0.3.0 not >= 0.9.1)” - which makes some sense due to the sinatra version I’ve installed but its a bit odd that it now complains about 0.3.0 instead of 0.4.0.

I have all the tmp/ folder also and I restarted the passenger but nothing, blank page again. Thanks, Peter. HI,

I’m trying to deploy a new rack framework and following all your steps: the config.ru is loaded after I fixed the requires but hitting my domain only display a totally empty page, it seems is showing the /public folder since I can see the /images folder but is not running the rack app, any ideas, is the public folder supposed to have a symlink or magic file? I have all the tmp/ folder also and I restarted the passenger but nothing, blank page again.

Thanks,

Peter.
