How to Restart Rails on DreamHost

By Technology Last updated Tuesday, May/21/2024

1). Log into your DreamHost account and click "Shell."
2). Type the following three lines in the command prompt and then press Enter; this will tell you which version(s) of Rails you have installed:

which ruby

ruby -v

gem list | more
3). Type the following line but do not press Enter:

rake rails:freeze:edge TAG=rel_2-1-0
4). Change "2-1-0" to the version number that you discovered in Step 2; if you have multiple versions installed, cite the latest (the highest number).
5). Press Enter; this will "freeze" your Rail installation, disabling the files.
6). Type the following line -- again replacing "2-1-0" with the version number -- and then press Enter; this will restart Rails:

rake rails:unfreeze:edge TAG=rel_2-1-0
