LoadError exception in PhusionPassenger :: Rack :: ApplicationSpawner (no such file to download - picker)

Question

I have this error message when I view a Ruby On Rails application running on Redhat. I suspect the problem is in the way, but I cannot figure it out. I read the solution suggested in this forum for a similar problem, but most of them are for MacOS

I tried installing bundler, it worked, but the problem is still there

[e-mail] [~]# gem install bundler Successfully installed bundler-1.2.1 1 gem installed Installing ri documentation for bundler-1.2.1... Installing RDoc documentation for bundler-1.2.1... [e-mail] [~]# [e-mail] [~]# bundle install ERROR: Gem bundler is not installed, run `gem install bundler` first. [e-mail] [~]# 

Here is my environment

Answer 1

This is most likely because you have a stub binary in the location of your PATH that occurs before the installation location in /home3/user1/ruby/gems/bin .

If you move /home3/user1/ruby/gems/bin (or something else gem env prints for EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY ) to the beginning of your PATH , it should work.
