Rails - God - LoadError

Question

I've installed god to use to monitor and start/stop/restart my resque tasks. The problem I'm getting is that I can't load the god config files.

It gives me this error:

$god load config/resque.god
The server is not available (or you do not have permissions to access it)

Then I try with

$sudo god load config/resque.god
.../.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/dependency.rb:247:in `to_specs': Could not find bundler (>= 0) amongst [bigdecimal-1.1.0, io-console-0.3, json-1.5.4, minitest-2.5.1, rake-0.9.2.2, rdoc-3.9.4] (Gem::LoadError)...

What am I missing here? Do I need to give the god gem some kind of permission? I'm on OSX.

Answer 1

Try

rvmsudo god load config/resque.god

Answer 2

Are you trying to dynamically load resque into a already running god instance?

If not, you can load the config file by using -c

Try running

$god -c config/resque.god

The load command will try to dynamically load the config file into a god that is already running. It's telling you that god is not running, so you can't dynamically load a config file into it.

See dynamically loading config files into an already running god for more information on the load command.

You can check which workers are running using

god status

If god isn't running it'll give you the same server is not available message.
