I am new to Rails and have been facing difficulty while installing
rails. I have already installed Ruby and RubyGems on my machine by
downloading the packages. But when I install Rails through RubyGems
through a HTTP Proxy , I am thrown an error. Below is the details of
the command and the exception i am getting :
Command Executed :
C:\Documents and Settings\Users\Desktop>gem install rails -v 3.0.1 -p
http://mydomain\myUserID:MyPassword@MyProxy:Port
Error thrown :
ERROR: While executing gem ... (OptionParser::InvalidArgument)
invalid argument: -p http://myDomain\MyUserID:MyPassword@MyProxy:80
Please note that mydomain is the domain to which my User ID belongs.
The authentication is ISA i believe.
Would appreciate some help in this.
Thanks in advance

The problem is not inclusion of http:// in the URL(I tried without that). On the contrary I suspect the reason to be on how to specify the domain in the URL. Is my way of specifying the domain right?

Re: Unable to install Rails through proxy - Rails badly needs to be flexible in its installation
Thanks Bryan. I tried this as well as Using a Fiddler as a proxy. But
I found that the downloads are being blocked based on the content by
the firewall. Generally arbitrary Software Downloads are not permitted
in my company.
Theres a separate department which manages Software Downloads
based on requests they get for it and they provide us with the
installables. I have to approach them. But just worried how am I going
to explain the Rails packaging / installation procedure to them in
order for them to give me a Zip file that has all Rails and its
dependent gems. I think I may have to give up.
Wouldn''t it be great if Rails has all the gems bundled into a
single archived file available for download? Thats how most Softwares
like Netbeans, Eclipse,Glassfish, JBOSS, Apache, MySQL, Postgre SQL ,
etc are all delivered. This need not be at the cost doing away with
RubyGems installer and the benefits that come with it. Its just about
having the archived Rails and its dependencies available for download
in the Rails site.
Is there a way I can take this as a request to the guys in charge
of Rails?
Thanks,
S

Say i run "gem dependency -r rails" which returns me a list of say 100 gems. These gems are located in a directory where there are already 1000 gem files which includes these Rails and its dependent files also. Do I have to browse through the file system manually to locate these 100 rails dependent gem files(from the already existing 1000 files) in order to package/zip them into a single file? Wouldn''t that be painful? Is there an automated way of packaging the gem files which would take the output from "gem dependency -r rails" and package them into a single file?

And then you can just get virtual box at your work and then copy the file over. I would say though that you have a bit of a rough road ahead if you plan to happily develop using rails at a company which ties your hands on your dev machine, as whenever you need another gem, to update gems, etc you have the same problem.

Hello You can use a gem called rubysspi which could be downloaded from rubygems.org then install it - it has no dependecies now only for windows - copy the spa.rb file from your gems/rubysspi/spa.rb(if not here do find in the gem folder will get it). copy and paste it in C:\Ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\ folder. after this - go to my computer - right click - properties - set environmental variables - HTTP_USER - domain username - HTTP_PASS - domain password - HTTP_PROXY - proxy server - HTTP_POR - proxy server port This would help you install gems but you will have to use this command to install gems >> ruby -rspa ''c:\ruby\bin\gem'' install rails -y I am not sure; this will help you; but it worked in my organization.
