I am trying to deploy a copy of a Rails 2.3.16 application on Heroku. I pushed the application, and added a PostgreSQL database.
heroku run rake db:migrate
rake aborted!
cannot load such file --iconv
Apparently all new applications will run in ruby 2.0.0, and I have been having a lot of trouble managing versions recently. The old applications run in whatever version they were, which is 1.9.2. Maybe that is related. I looked for a long time, and found things such as:
Ruby 2.0 iconv replacement in `require': no such file to load -- iconv (LoadError)
I tried gem install iconv
This site doesn't help, or maybe I don't understand what to do:
rvm autolibs rvm_pkg did nothing. rvm autolibs enable didn't help.
This site seemed to say something completely different even though it linked to https://rvm.io/packages/iconv:
http://bullrico.com/2012/09/04/cannot-load-such-file-iconv/
I did:
rvm reinstall 1.9.2-p290 --with-iconv-dir=$rvm_path/usr
At least 2 things failed in that, and iconv issue is not resolved:
Error running 'env GEM_PATH=/Users/RedApple/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290:/Users/RedApple/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290@global:/Users/RedApple/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290:/Users/RedApple/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290@global GEM_HOME=/Users/RedApple/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290 /Users/RedApple/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/bin/ruby -d /Users/RedApple/.rvm/src/rubygems-2.1.4/setup.rb',

heroku run rake db:migrate
rake aborted!
cannot load such file -- iconv
I don't have time to reprogram the 2.3.16 application into 3 or 4 if that is required. I don't even know what iconv is. What is the easiest way to get rid of this error?
Edit:
I put this in the Gemfile and redeployed:
ruby '1.9.2'
I don't know if it is progress, but now a new error:
heroku run rake db:migrate --trace
** Invoke db:migrate (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
rake aborted!

Edit:
I didn't read the error message thoroughly, and missed this line:
/app/config/initializers/redis.rb:1:in `<top (required)>'
I commented out these lines, since I don't need Redis yet:
# uri = URI.parse( ENV[ "REDISTOGO_URL" ] )
# REDIS = Redis.new( :host => uri.host, :port => uri.port, :password => uri.password )
heroku run rake db:migrate finally worked.
