Thin server not starting

[nogeek]

Thin just seems to shut down on me as soon as it starts up. The trace is as follows:

$ thin start --debug
>> Using rack adapter
/Users/nogeek/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-head/gems/activesupport-3.2.0.rc2/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:251:in `block in require': iconv will be deprecated in the future, use String#encode instead.
>> Thin web server (v1.3.1 codename Triple Espresso)
>> Debugging ON
>> Maximum connections set to 1024
>> Listening on 0.0.0.0:3000, CTRL+C to stop
$

The same happens with script/rails server

My gemfile is below:

source 'http://rubygems.org'

What's in your database.yml?

[nogeek]

Actually using MongoDB with Mongoid but the database.yml is still there as:

#SQLite version 3.x
#   gem install sqlite3
#
#   Ensure the SQLite 3 gem is defined in your Gemfile
#   gem 'sqlite3'
development:
  adapter: sqlite3
  database: db/development.sqlite3
  pool: 5
  timeout: 5000

# Warning: The database defined as "test" will be erased and
# re-generated from your development database when you run "rake".
# Do not set this db to the same as development or production.
test:
  adapter: sqlite3
  database: db/test.sqlite3
  pool: 5
  timeout: 5000

production:
  adapter: sqlite3
  database: db/production.sqlite3
  pool: 5
  timeout: 5000

[nogeek]

the mongoid.yml:

development:
  host: localhost
  database: thedb_development
  identity_map_enabled: false

frontend:
  host: localhost
  database: thedb_development
  identity_map_enabled: true

test:
  host: localhost
  database: thedb_test
  identity_map_enabled: true

staging:
  database: thedb_staging
  identity_map_enabled: true

production:
  database: thedb_prod

[thephw]

Can't swear to it, but comment out the code in the database.yml file. Might be trying to load the connection to sqlite3 that is not in your gemfile.

[nogeek]

I commented out the database.yml but same problem unfortunately

SQLite version 3.x

gem install sqlite3

Ensure the SQLite 3 gem is defined in your Gemfile

gem 'sqlite3'

development:

adapter: sqlite3

database: db/development.sqlite3

pool: 5

timeout: 5000

Warning: The database defined as "test" will be erased and

re-generated from your development database when you run "rake".

Do not set this db to the same as development or production.

test:

adapter: sqlite3

database: db/test.sqlite3

pool: 5

timeout: 5000

production:

adapter: sqlite3

database: db/production.sqlite3

pool: 5

timeout: 5000

Still get this?

[DanBradbury]

I am having a similar issue myself when trying to pass in options to thin.

When I run thin start things go as planned but if I pass in any other options (outside of -e, -p) my thin instance will hang or say that its started the server but with upon looking for the process it doesn't exist.

I have seen elsewhere that there is a suggestion to upgrade to 1.6 but for our application we do not have that option because of the rack dependencies.

[macournoyer]

I just fixed the issue preventing to upgrade to 1.6. Try again please.

Closing this one as I don't think it's related.
