Hi there,
I''m a new to Rails and to Ruby too. I hope you can help with what
hopefully is a simple installation problem.
I have successfully installed version:
C:\>ruby -v
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32]
I have successfully installed gem:
C:\>gem --version
0.8.11
When I try to install Rails i get the following error:
C:\>gem install rails --include-dependencies
Attempting local installation of ''rails''
Local gem file not found: rails*.gem
Attempting remote installation of ''rails''
Updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::ETIMEDOUT)
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not
properly respond after a period of time, or established connection
failed because connected host has failed to respond. - connect(2)
I believe this error occurs because I use a proxy. Therefore, I set
the HTTP_PROXY variable as:
C:\>set HTTP_PROXY=wwwcache.dur.ac.uk:8080
Now the error I get when attempting to install Rails is:
C:\>gem install rails --include-dependencies
Attempting local installation of ''rails''
Local gem file not found: rails*.gem
Attempting remote installation of ''rails''
Updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org
ERROR: While executing gem ... (NoMethodError)
undefined method `proxy_open'' for #<URI::Generic:0x177ac8c
URL:wwwcache.dur.ac.uk:8080>
Any help in solving my installation problem will be much appreciated.
Alternatively, I have downloaded the Rails zip file from the website.
How do I manually install this?
Cheers,
Nick.

As a last alternative, you could also try manually downloading the gems from http://gems.rubyforge.org/gems/ and doing: gem install * You''re gonna need at least the gems for actionmailer, actionpack, actionwebservice, activerecord, activesupport, rails and rake. 2005/7/18, Nick Rowlands <nick.rowlands-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>:> > Alternatively, I have downloaded the Rails zip file from the website. > How do I manually install this? > >-- Rafael Rezende _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails
