Ruby on Rails application could not be started

[Alex Townster]

Hi,

I'm upt o install retrospectiva on my centOS 5 machine. Therefore, i
installed ruby 1.9.1 (ruby 1.9.1p376 (2009-12-07 revision 26041)
[x86_64-linux]) and following gems:
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
actionmailer (2.3.5)
actionpack (2.3.5)
activerecord (2.3.5)
activeresource (2.3.5)
activesupport (2.3.5)
fastthread (1.0.7)
mysql (2.8.1)
passenger (2.2.10)
rack (1.0.1)
rails (2.3.5)
rake (0.8.7)
sinatra (0.9.4)

Furthermore, I put the passenger module into my apache conf
LoadModule passenger_module
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-2.2.10/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-2.2.10
PassengerRuby /usr/local/bin/ruby

A vhost exists for /pathToRetrospectiva/public .
If I call the URL for my retrospectiva Host, I get the error "Ruby on
Rails application could not be started"

Error message:
invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII
Exception class:
ArgumentError

The listed Backtrace entries (30 rows) aren't helpfull for me.
Does anyone know, how this error can be solved? If the backtrace is
required, pls ask for it.

Error message:

invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII
Exception class:
ArgumentError

The listed Backtrace entries (30 rows) aren't helpfull for me.

Someone else who was trying to help you would need to see them.

However, Ruby is not Rails. Please ask Rails questions on a Rails
mailing list.
