Installation issue

gearoid · #1 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

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

gem install rails --include-dependencies

I get the following error:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 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.

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

If the problem persists, check your network configuration.

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.
