Ruby Forum RForum > Cannot establish site in development mode

Can anyone help? I am trying to get rforum up and running. I cannot run
it in development mode (eclipse w/radrails plugin) I get the following
error:

undefined method `acts_as_list' for #<Class:0x3831730>
RAILS_ROOT: C:/Infused/rforum

When I load it on my server and run it in production mode I get the
following error:
rake aborted!
no such file to load -- ferret
/home/tsonny/rforum/Rakefile.rb:9

I don't even know where to begin trying to resolve this issue...Best I
can figure out is that it has something to do with the site:id
configuration.

Please help me....

install acts_as_list plugin:

cd C:\ruby\rforum
ruby script/plugin install acts_as_list

Thanks that is exactly what I did, I am up and running...

Have you been able to run rforum site? I am trying to make it work for 
second day and still have a problem. It does not want to render 
/user/register and other pages due to exceptions thrown because of 
missing Site, Forum and other objects.

So I created then using console and debugging code now.
Also removing rendering of some parts/objects makes it working...
I guess the database has to be initialized with some objects.

I think you can work around all of the issues by freezing your rails 
version to 1.2.3; that was the fix for me to get production up and 
running.

run:
gem install rails -v 1.2.3 and then open your environments file and add 
the following:

RAILS_GEM_VERSION = '1.2.3' unless defined? RAILS_GEM_VERSION

then run your migrations again and you should be able to deploy from 
there.

I also had a depreciated method in migrations #12 find_all should be 
find(:all); but this may not be an issue if you freeze your version 
first.

I am up and running and everything works well.

Thanks, I will follow your steps as soon as give up on making it run on 
rails 2.0
