Installation issue

Question posted by: gearoid (Newbie) on March 26th, 2008 12:25 PM

I have installed Ruby without issue but am having trouble installing Rails.

When I load up the command line and type

Code: ( text )

gem install rails --include-dependencies

I get the following error:

Code: ( text )

A connection attempt failed because the connected part did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond - connect(2)(Errno::ETIMEDOUT)

I'm trying to install it work so I was wondering if the proxy (or the fact I already have Apache running) would affect it.

I get the same error when trying to run "gem update"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Installation issue

Your computer has trouble connecting to gems.rubyforge.org (or some other server). Try again later.

If the problem persists, check your network configuration.

Re: Installation issue

You can also download the stand-alone version by heading over to RubyForge:
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=307

Just a little head's-up, check out Aptana's RadRails for an awesome IDE.
