I think the best way to use gems on shared hosting is to unpack(freeze) them into your rails application. You can do this by installing the gem on your local machine, then go into your vendor/plugins directory and type

gem unpack will_paginate

This will load the will_paginate gem into your application, so it is no longer required on the server.

I was wondering, I guess my problem is with gems not being installed on the server! especially that I’m using shared hosting. You know what’s the best way to install gems on shared hosting?

Two things you can try first. Log into the root of the application and type:

ruby script/console production

Provided that doesn’t spit out any errors, then try this:

cd to RAILS_ROOT/public directory and type:

ruby dispatch.rb

That should display the webpage’s html right to the console window.

Try those first to make sure the app isn’t experiencing any other issues
