Issues with Rails on CENTOS5 and cPanel ?

I was trying to get rails to work through cPanel on Centos 5 and as many of you,
I have encountered problems too.

Here’s what made it work for me (run as
root):

1) First remove all gems

Code:

gem uninstall rails
gem uninstall mongrel
gem uninstalled fastthread

2)
Now run cPanel’s Ruby installation script

Code:

/scripts/installruby  
gem install rails 
gem install mongrel 
gem install fastthread

3)
Now second command as required by cPanel

Code:

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/ror_setup

4)
It seems cPanel’s "fast head" forgets to install, fast Thread

Code:

gem install fastthread

5)
App’s don’t run still? – The issue in my case was outdated GEM! Mongrel did
not want to run with the old version. So run:

Code:

gem update --system

6)
Restart cPanel (not required but I like to do it)

Code:

/etc/init.d/cpanel restart

And
there you have it. Works like a charm on my Centos 5
