sh: command not found

[Piotr Kirklewski]

Hi there

When I'm running:
'mongrel_rails cluster::restart' from command line it's fine.

When I'm running this command from program I'm heving this error:

sh: mongrel_rails: command not found

The command is in /usr/local/bin - which is in user PATH:
newsfeeder@webserver2:~$ $PATH
-bash: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games

Can enyone help ?

Best Regards

Peter

From what program? How is the program launched?

It will be a path issue, and it all dependson how the program is launched.

The user environment could not be available depending on how you run the program.

If you can, define the PATH variable inside the program/script, source the user's profile at run time or specify the full path to the program when is called.

If /usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails exists and is accessible (scripts must be both readable & executable to work), the error message might mean that the interpreter of mongrel_rails cannot be found.

Run "head /usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails".
The first line should be something like:

#!/script/interpreter/path

Make sure the /script/interpreter/path is a correct full pathname of the correct script interpreter.

I'm not familiar with mongrel_rails, but a quick Googling suggests that it should be something like:

#!/opt/ruby/bin/ruby1.8
(or whatever your ruby version is & wherever your ruby installation is located)
