-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey developers,
I tried again, this time downloading it from the git repository with the command git clone git://github.com/mysociety/whatdotheyknow.git. Which gave me (everything working so far) fast:/var/www/mynetblog.com/www/records# git clone git://github.com/mysociety/whatdotheyknow.git Initialized empty Git repository in /var/www/mynetblog.com/www/records/whatdotheyknow/.git/ remote: Counting objects: 23930, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (9573/9573), done. remote: Total 23930 (delta 14973), reused 22092 (delta 13530) Receiving objects: 100% (23930/23930), 21.21 MiB | 38 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (14973/14973), done. Then I did a cd to whatdotheyknow (the downloaded git repo) and did a git submodule update --init which gave me this (still working well) Submodule 'commonlib' (git://git.mysociety.org/commonlib) registered for path 'commonlib' Initialized empty Git repository in /var/www/mynetblog.com/www/records/whatdotheyknow/commonlib/.git/ remote: Counting objects: 5284, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (2017/2017), done. remote: Total 5284 (delta 3336), reused 5037 (delta 3197) Receiving objects: 100% (5284/5284), 1.00 MiB | 24 KiB/s, done.

Submodule path 'commonlib': checked out 'a901c2a431f7869f5c2eaee5808f8590ca78544e' I thought this would be the silver bullet, but I still get this error: undefined method `reenable' for <Rake::Task db:schema:dump => [environment]>:Rake::Task I'm not asking for any jurisdiction conversion here, just a little help getting through the install process. I plan on changing the agency names, content, etc. manually (thinking this will require some database hacking if I'm not mistaken but maybe there's a fancy admin panel for it, I don't know). This software looks awesome but if I can't get it installed I'll never know whether it is or not : / Thanks for any help you can offer.
