Hi, all.
This is probably a very simple question but I couldn''t find anything in
the
docs, Google, etc.
If I issue:
`$ rails new foo-bar`
The version of Rails being used is 3.1.3. Now I need to use v.2.3.5 for a
project but can''t for the life of me work out how to do so (2.3.5 is
installed).
Sorry it''s so (probably) blatantly obvious a question but any help
appreciated.
Cheers,
Phil...

If so, I would recommend you to create a new gemset, install rails -v 2.3.5 there, and then you''ll have no conflicts. Anyways, wehter you use a different gemset, rails 2.x doesn''t use the "new" command. To create a new aplication with these versions of rails, you have to do "rails appname" but, for this, you have to be sure you''re using the right command and that, can be done with the full path to the rails script. Hope this help. Cheers! -- Leonardo Mateo. There''s no place like ~ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thanks for the help. I do have rvm but I''m using the System (OS X) version 1.8.7 of Ruby for this particular venture. Having only used rails 3 before I can see I need to do some reading ;-).

I believe there have been security fixes that you should have. Out of interest, why do you need to use 2.3 for a new project?

The server I''ll be deploying on, so I''m reliably informed, is geared up to v.2.3.5 of rails so that''s what I''ve been asked to use. I''ll check about later releases of 2.3.x.

Thanks for your help,In addition I would seriously question the use of 2.3 versus 3.1. 2.3 is only receiving security fixes now I believe (not bug fixes) and it is not trivial to update an app from 2.3 to 3. If the app is expected to have a significant life then using 2.3 just because the server is currently geared up for that is surely a questionable decision.

Good enough (although I would even doubt that) for a personal blog, not fit for anything else, you get what you pay for. You can get proper VPS hosting for a lot less than a dedicated server will cost you, like Linode. Or you could just make it easy on yourself and use Heroku.

They generally don''t upgrade all too quickly to newer technologies or versions, both on the hosting company side as the control panel provider. I''m guessing it''s more of a "if it ain''t broke, don''t fix it" thing than something else. We''ve had our fair share of horror experiences in the past, so I totally get the dilemma you are facing. I do want to add that even getting a Rails app properly running, even when you''re talking about a 2.3 app, will probably yield another round of frustrations. Support tends to be totally ignorant on Rails apps and you basically get a copy-paste section of the cpanel manual. I''m quite sure there are some fixed price hosting companies out there, http://hostingrails.com/sharedhosting springs to mind, but they are also stuck on 3.0 it seems (byebye asset pipeline etc). Out of curiosity, what kind of fuss are you talking about? Ease of deployment or having to advise someone to switch hosting providers?

Ease of > deployment or having to advise someone to switch hosting providers?Hi, Peter. Mainly ease of deployment & the fact she loves the blog app I did for her as an example in rails. She''s also used the same hosting outfit for years & to be fair to them for the money, they''re a pretty good deal. But they''re already have been some problems installing some gems (luckily I don''t need them for this project) so I''ll have to see how it goes because as you quite rightly pointed out, contacting support for issues like that is pretty much time spent wasted typing...
