You are getting close, and this problem I can fully explain. Prior stack traces indicated that you were running Ruby 2.7 (presumably from homebrew?). This stack trace indicates that you are running Ruby 2.3 (the system installed Ruby).
Each version of Ruby has its own set of installed Gems. The fact that you can get the board agenda tool up and running indicates that you have a complete set of gems installed with Ruby 2.7. If you look at the top line of any CGI file, it says "#!/usr/bin/env ruby". This will load the Ruby interpreter based on your PATH environment variable. You should be able to control the value of the PATH environment variable by adding a <key> / <string> pair to the <key>EnvironmentVariables</key> <dict> entry in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist, and then restarting httpd. This sounds complicated, but it will make sense when you look at the contents of that file. The main whimsy menu is static HTML, so no Ruby code is run. test.cgi doesn't depend on much, and can run with Ruby 2.3, so it also works. members/proxy does depend on a number of gems, and those gems are not installed using Ruby 2.3 on your machine. You could get past this immediate problem by installing those gems under Ruby 2.3, but I suspect that you will be a lot happier using the same version of Ruby everywhere. Once you have set your path, you can verify it visiting http://whimsy.local/test.cgi and looking for the value of PATH. If you add anything to the query part of the URL (for example, by visiting http://whimsy.local/test.cgi?help) you will see considerably more information, such as the actual version of Ruby used, your gem path, etc. Once you are running CGI scripts using Ruby 2.7, I suspect that members/proxy.cgi will work as you have the necessary gems installed. And finally, the reason passenger applications work is that the version of Ruby to be used for passenger applications is specified in /etc/apache2/other/passenger.conf. - Sam Ruby On Wed, Jun 17, 2020 at 1:59 PM Craig Russell <apache....@gmail.com> wrote: > > Deleting that file solved the issue with board/agenda.
