More than one vcenter?

Great job, tested and work perfectly with a vcenter.

But adding another vcenter to viservers.yml this new query not and does not create the datadump_vcenter2

On the command line

. / vimbix-client-u http://127.0.0.1:9090/host_ip_2/api/status
/ usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/json-1.8.0/lib/json/common.rb: 155: in `initialize ': A JSON text must at Least Contain two octets! (JSON :: ParserError)

******** from / usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/json-1.8.0/lib/json/common.rb: 155: in `parse '
******** from .. /. / vimbix-client: 69

ruby error when starting client

I'm using the openSUSE 12.2 VM version of Zabbix server 2.0

After about 1/2 day getting all the dependencies needed to even install VIMbix on our Zabbix server, I now get this error from Ruby (I think) when attempting to start the VIMbix daemon:

rake daemon:start
Starting vimbix...
/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': cannot load such file -- eventmachine (LoadError)

I've googled around, but haven't found a solution.

Any ideas?

I could have sworn I made a duplicate of this on GitHub, but it magically disappeared when I went back there...

At any rate, I re-created the question on GitHub for you:

How to correctly vimbix update after your git commits?
p.s. i'm beginner in RoR

should i do 2, 3 steps from Installation and configuration and finish it with rake daemon:restart ?
