No such file or directory - assets in LocomotiveCMS Wagon

Getting the No such file or directory - /var/tmp/dragonfly.log error message when trying to access assets from the Public folder. I am running Wagon on Win 8.1, Ruby v2.0.0p451 (2014-02-24) [i386-mingw32], Rails 4.1.6.

Solution

  • I ended up "giving in" and installing the Bitnami Ruby Stack. Sure enough, it worked. For those of us who know what its like to get Ruby to work properly on a Win machine, make sure you back up your original installation:

    1. Copy the Ruby installation folder to a another location on my hard drive
    2. Create a System Restore point to back up the registry
    3. When installing the Bitnami Stack, uncheck MySQL and Postgres (unless this is your first time installing them).

    Bitnami will run in its own environment, but I have decided to play it safe and make sure I have a working copy of Ruby and gems to go back to.
