As it stands foreman is not alone here, as puppetlabs is not supporting ruby 1.8.5 for the latest versions of puppet dashboard either. 1.8.7 is the minimum to support puppet dashboard 1.2.x. Being that Foreman is just a single server in your environment, is this really that big of a deal? Is there anything the Foreman project could do to ease the issues with supporting a newer versions of Ruby? There are some options here. The packages that Eric mentioned, REE source install, RVM, etc. -Brian -- <http://aws.amazon.com/solutions/solution-providers/brandorr/> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
