strange inability to require config/boot after upgrading to ruby 1.9.2

Question

I upgraded my ruby to 1.9.2 and now when I try to start up a Rails 2.3.5 app with script/server I get this error:

Answer 1

it's because ruby 1.9.2 doesn't add the current directory in the LOAD_PATH.

Add this that in top of your script/server file:

$: << File.dirname(__FILE__)

Or in your case:

$: << File.dirname(__FILE__) + '..'
