As it turns out, it is actually an incompatiblity between Ruby 1.8.4 and Rails 0.13.1, which Instiki requires. One line of code in active_support/clean_logger.rb solves the problem: <pre> ## Fix for Instiki on Ruby 1.8.4 per http://dev.instiki.org/ticket/277 ## remove_const "Format" remove_const "Format" if const_defined? "Format" </pre> <p><a href="http://avlux.net"><span class="caps">AVLUX</span></a> has completed this change and upgraded to Ruby 1.8.4 on all servers. Stay tuned for more on Mongrel&#8230;</p> Tue, 25 Jul 2006 18:31:00 -0500 urn:uuid:2479f566-77d6-43c3-a7c0-2a91a98675f1 av@avlux.net (Andrew) http://avlooks.net/articles/2006/07/25/instiki-and-ruby-1-8-4 System Admin Ruby on Rails rubyonrails ruby instiki mongrel
