Use pre-existing Ruby installation

[sufyit Profile]

I'm attempting to use Zoo with an existing Ruby 1.9.2 installation to serve up a Thin based Sinatra app.

I'm tweaking the applicationHost.config as shown below but I am unable to get Zoo to use the ruby instance installed in c:\ruby192. I've replaced all references to the default c:\ruby19 both here and in my sytem path with no luck. When I hit may app I'm seeing the appFullPath and appArguments still pointing to c:\Ruby19.

Is Zoo hard-coded to work with fixed ruby install paths or am I missing some simple configuration step?

Thanks!

Hello, David

Please try it this way

<add name="HOME" value="%APPL_PHYSICAL_SHORT_PATH%" />
<add name="GEM_HOME" value="%APPL_PHYSICAL_SHORT_PATH%\GEM_HOME" />
<add name="Path" value="C:\Ruby192\bin\;%SystemDrive%\devkit\bin;%Path%" />

And please show the error you get.
Also please check NTFS permissions: IIS user should be granted Read permission for C:\Ruby192

Hmm.. that didn't seem to help, it still tries to execute via the c:\ruby19\ installation
appFullPath: C:\Ruby19\bin\ruby.exe

FYI I'm using the beta Zoo install (2.0.87.379)

I'm going to try down-grading to the current production version and re-test.

Hello,

Are you sure it's not IIS Express?
Please show the complete path to applicationHost.config.
And please show us the 500 error Zoo shows and the logs.
