Getting Mephisto 0.8 up and running

I’ve spent some time recently trying to set up my brand new mephisto blog engine. Although mephisto is recognized as rather solid piece of software, sometimes you may face some issues. In my case I found the following error message in my production log :

LoadError (Expected /home/xyz/mephisto/app/models/asset.rb to define Asset):

In order to solve that issue follow these steps1 :

1. Find a place for ruby_inline to store its stuff, for example: RAILS_ROOT/tmp.

mkdir tmp/.ruby_inline
chown nobody:nobody tmp/.ruby_inline
chmod 755 tmp/.ruby_inline

2. Tell ruby_inline what you did by adding the following line in config/environment.rb:

ENV[‘INLINEDIR’] = File.join(File.dirname(FILE),”../tmp”)

3. Restart the server.
