Hi, Have been trying to set up Linux on my Windows machine, using VirtualBox.. Installed VirtualRails to give it a try as well.. I did notice VR was using Rails version 2.3.4 rather than 2.3.5 (rails -v gives 2.3.4) as specified on Some of VR''s documentation (some places mention rails 2.3.4 and some rails 2.3.5, like here: http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_frm/thread/9fcc04508132033d/d5e9a52f44764924?tvc=1#d5e9a52f44764924 ) Have been trying to update to rails 2.3.5 using gem install and gem update, specifying the version.. but so far didn''t manage to do so.. I''m not sure how as well, being a complete newbie to Linux, and also afraid to cause any damage.. was also afraid to update gems I do not wish to update or to update rails to 2.3.8 while I wanted 2.3.5 and don''t feel confident I know how to change it back yet.. Maybe it''s not an issue and I should do with rails 2.3.4.. now I''m also curious to know how and whether this should be done at all Any comments and replies will be very much appreciated :) Thanks!

Install a fresh version of VirtualRails, confirm it works, then take a snapshot. Now you can do anything you like, and worst case you revert to that snapshot. It''s like git for your OS :-) FWIW, -- Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ hassan.schroeder-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org twitter: @hassan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

i''ve been using virtual rails for about 10 days, and it''s been a easy way to jump back into Rails development. Only thing that confused me in the beginning was the keyboard layout defaulted to French. no big deal, just a few minutes of work. Otherwise it''s a great setup, and I really appreciate the work.

Hi Jerome,
Thank you for your comment.
I realise now this was what I was supposed to do.
Let me describe what I did and your feedback can help me decide
whether I can continue with what I''ve done or should go back to the
backup I made before starting my experiments, using clonevdi (using
VBoxManage).
So..
What I did was:
1) sudo gem update --system
2) sudo gem update
3) sudo gem install -v=2.3.5 rails --include-dependencies
In more detail, what happened, including some problems on the way:

=== 1.3.7 / 2010-05-13
NOTE:
http://rubygems.org is now the default source for downloading gems.
You may have sources set via ~/.gemrc, so you should replace
http://gems.rubyforge.org with http://rubygems.org
http://gems.rubyforge.org will continue to work for the forseeable
future.
New features:
* `gem` commands
* `gem install` and `gem fetch` now report alternate platforms when
a
matching one couldn''t be found.
* `gem contents` --prefix is now the default as specified in --
help. Bug
#27211 by Mamoru Tasaka.
* `gem fetch` can fetch of old versions again. Bug #27960 by Eric
Hankins.
* `gem query` and friends output now lists platforms. Bug #27856 by
Greg
Hazel.
* `gem server` now allows specification of multiple gem dirs for
documentation. Bug #27573 by Yuki Sonoda.
* `gem unpack` can unpack gems again. Bug #27872 by Timothy Jones.
* `gem unpack` now unpacks remote gems.
* --user-install is no longer the default. If you really liked it,
see
Gem::ConfigFile to learn how to set it by default. (This change
was made
in 1.3.6)
* RubyGems now has platform support for IronRuby. Patch #27951 by

* Gem::Dependency support #version_requirements= with a warning. Fix
for old
Rails versions. Bug #27868 by Wei Jen Lu.
* Gem::PackageTask depends on the package dir like the other rake

Updating passenger
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Zlib::DataError)
invalid stored block lengths
---------------------------------------------
Here, nokogiri didn''t upgrade.. so tried the following:
-------------------------------------------------
3) sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev
sudo gem install nokogiri
Err.. don''t find the trace for it but then it started complaining Zlib
and didn''t install nokogiri
4) Anyway, I don''t know whether nokogiri should be of a problem..
I decided to go ahead and try to install rails 2.3.5 since as I
suspected,
sudo gem update install rails 2.3.8.
--------------------------
Now, wanting to give the trace here I retyped step 3
and it caused some problems..
What I''m going to do now I think is go back to my backup anyway..
I''m
leaving the beginning of my message here, thinking maybe the
information about nokogiri is relevant for your information..
Anyway, since it seems I''m going to go back to my backup-version -
I''m
re-asking my question:
Should I just follow your instructions and update to rails 2.3.5?
Should I refrain from doing sudo gem update --system and sudo gem
update?
Should rails 2.3.8 or any other updates cause me any trouble?
Do you recommend me to stick with rails 2.3.5 rather than 2.3.8?
Thanks!!
Sorry for the confusion in my message.. my terminal seems to have
crashed from retyping step 3.. as I''m really a beginner I
wasn''t aware
of the fact I was doing something obviously wrong here.. [blush]
Also, talking about being a newbie reminded me of another question I
have, not related to VirtualRails but to being a Linux beginner and
that is the following:
Where should I put my files and directories? and, more spcifically,
where should I put my RoR development libraries? should I create a
directory under /home/virtualrails/ or is there a different place I
should be aiming and looking into?
Many thanks,
Appreciate the answers here..
Best,
tino

Hi Tino, I think your problems are simple than you think :) first, don''t bother upgrading successfully nokogiri until you really need to use it in your project. and don''t worry about the failed update, on won''t have any side effect. about the rails version, there is only one thing to consider IMO : - if you start a new rails application, use the last "stable" version, i.e 2.3.8 : less bugs, more speed, more security. - if you work on an existing rails app, use the rails version that has been used to create and developp this application. Until you have a real good reason to migrate your app to a newer version of rails, don''t :) one interessant thing you have to know is that you can have several rails versions installed on your system, and choose the one to use in the configuration file of your rails project. In the /config/environnement.rb file, add somthing like that : # Specifies gem version of Rails to use when vendor/rails is not present RAILS_GEM_VERSION = ''2.3.5'' unless defined? RAILS_GEM_VERSION regarding all this, I think you can stay with your original snapshop, and choose the rails version you want to use. but you can also use a fresh downloaded virtualrails and upgrade only rails if you want, it takes only 5 minutes and you will be more confortable with the idea that only rails have been upgraded :) about the place you should put your files, your right : the "/home/virtualrails/" is like the "My Documents" for MS Windows, "virtualrails" being the name of the connected user. for exemple you can create a folder named "rails_apps" or "dev", or what you want under the "/home/virtualrails/" directory, and put here all your future rails projects. cheers up, keep learning Linux and Rails, it really worth the price :) Jérôme Fillioux VirtualBox Team -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi Jerome, Thank you for replying.. I appreciate the detailed response and being patient for my beginner''s questions :) Also, I want to apologise as I seems my last message was sent a couple of times :P I''m very excited with my shift to Linux and very happy about VirtualRails.. and no doubt it''s worth it ;) Since I think any projects I started on Windows should now anyway be re-written on Linux (also since I''m planning to deploy on a linux host, which was mainly what made me shift at this point of time to Linux.. but it was anyway just a matter of time till I do move.. just made things quicker..) - I''ll begin using rails 2.3.8 :) Glad nokogiri not updating successfully is not going to cause me any problems, and right now I''m not using it anyway, though it seems nice after doing some reading.. about environment.rb - I realised this is where I should mention the rails version.. but thanks for mentioning it and validating what I thought.. same goes for my virtualrails'' home directory, it really helped me you answered this very basic question for me :) Many thanks and thank you for your VirtualRails project.

hello again, Tino :) I missed a point in my answer :> Since I think any projects I started on Windows should now anyway be > re-written on Linux (also since I''m planning to deploy on a linux > host, which was mainly what made me shift at this point of time to > Linux.. but it was anyway just a matter of time till I do move.. just > made things quicker..) - I''ll begin using rails 2.3.8 :)if you are talking about rails projects, that''s not true :) and if your projects where written for rails 2 or greater, there is likely nothing to do to run them under linux :) the rails and ruby code is "OS agnostic", since it is executed on a ruby VM. That ruby layer depend on the OS you use, but allow a transversal compatibility of your ruby and rails code. so again, if your apps used to run correctly on windows with rails 2.x and ruby 1.8.6 or 1.8.7, then you just have to settle them on your virtualrails and that''s it ! let me know the details of all of that and if it works. if you have troubles, trust the ruby/rails guys around here (including myself) to try to help you :) best Jérôme Fillioux VirtualRails Team -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
