@skypanther thanks mate...

[skypanther]

@elitegunslinger where are you hitting that problem, which step? Try deleting the manifest.yml file and the af push command again. Or, modify manifest.yml and run the af update command instead.

[elitegunslinger]

@skypanther the error occurs after the: "Manifest written to manifest.yml." rather than the Error 300 it tells me: "Error: Application 'whatever' already exists, use update." Just wondering but on line 74 "--runtime ruby19" does that need to specify the version of ruby i.e. 193? Line 84 do you need to input the full URL or just the app name? And when you mention deleting the space in the manifest description: Rails Application; which space are you specifying?

Just to verify on AppFog I create the rails server and db first then go through your instructions, correct?

[skypanther]

Line 74: --runtime ruby19 worked for me, even though I'm using 1.9.3 (locally and on appfog)
Line 84: I don't recall, but I think I used just the app name
Deleting the space: for me, in the manifest.yml, the app description was 'Rails Application' (with a space between words). Removing that space and then issuing the update command was what got me working

[elitegunslinger]

@skypanther I'll keep playing with it but after removing the space and using update I get: Error 306: Error retrieving file '/logs/staging.log' which went away after another update attempt but now all I'm getting is a 404 error when the server is up.

@elitegunslinger are you running from Master or pulling from the tagged 1.0 release?

[elitegunslinger]

Running from Master.

@elitegunslinger I ran into the same issue as you. I'm getting a 404 with exactly the same warning as your pastie link in my logs. Have you had any luck with this?

@elitegunslinger @sethgho

We try and keep the MASTER branch of the Kandan code clean and usable but it is bleeding edge and can cause unpredictable results.

If you need a version of Kandan that's both tested & stable then please make sure you're installing from the lastest tagged version of the code.

git clone git@github.com/kandanapp/kandan.git
cd kandan
git tag -l
git checkout <tag_name>

Currently the latest released version is 1.1

[sethgho]

@fusion94 Thanks. I did try master at first, but when I ran into some problems I didn't understand, I switched to the v1.1 tag, which is what I'm working with right now.

[fusion94]

ok so @skypanther is re-installing on appfog today.

I'll let him chime in here.

[skypanther]

I'm having a bitch of a time with AppFog. I had Kandan v1.0 running fine. But v1.1 won't install. But I think the issues are AppFog's. Though I have found a couple of missing steps in the install docs. I build & upload the app but then AF ends up in a limbo state -- the command line tools can't start the app and say "Error: Application 'skypantherchat's state is undetermined, not enough information available." I get a 404 visiting the public site in that state. The console shows the app running, but the command line tools show it not running.

Looking at the Kandan install docs, after the bundle install command, you have to do this command:

bundle exec rake db:create db:migrate kandan:bootstrap assets:precompile

Then do the af push command that's shown. Beyond that, I haven't found the magic missing step to get this working.

My installation looked a bit different today. I'm not sure what's changed on their end, but it seems like the af push command's parameters have been ignored, and I now need to specify a Start Command: which is fine, except I don't know what to type. See here:

Their documentation seems to say I need to simply type ruby filename.rb but I'm not sure which one to use. Any suggestions?
