Help: issues with comatose migration

I am not able to setup the Comatose CMS to run on my shared hosting account. here are the steps I took

I followed the instruction from this site
http://github.com/darthapo/comatose/tree/master

1. created empty rails app
  created database and setup database.yml

2. ran these commands (all worked ok)

script/plugin install acts_as_tree/list

 $ ./script/plugin source http://mattmccray.com/svn/rails/plugins
 $ ./script/plugin install comatose
 $ ./script/generate comatose_migration


3. $ rake db:migrate produced these errors

Creating the default 'Home Page'...
rake aborted!

Does anyone know how to work around this? Thanks in advance.

Hi Virtual,

The error "rake aborted! can't convert String into Integer" can be avoided by reinstalling the "acts_as_versioned" plugin from the location http://github.com/codafoo/acts_as_versioned/tree/master and add the contents given in the URL http://pastie.textmate.org/181667 to the file vendor/rails/activerecord/
lib/active_record/associations.rb.

The following wiki link discusses the same issue please have a look at it.

Hi Vinayan,
I can certaintly reinstall acts_as_versioned; however
I do not understand the step about patching associations.rb file

I logged into my shared account but not able to locate
vendor/rails/activerecord/
lib/active_record/associations.rb

Can you explain on that, Thanks

Hi Virtual,

The  associations.rb file will be on path  railsapp/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/associations.rb , if your application's rails version is frozen.

If the rails application version is not frozen then you can give a try to populate your database after reinstalling the acts_as_versioned plugin as mentioned in the previous post.
