Is there any problem with versions compatibility? A project I started with 1.1.2 cannot run with 1.1.4. Dreamhost recently updated their rails from 1.1.2 to 1.1.5 and 1.1.6. Needless to say I got "Application Error". However when I changed RAILS_GEM_VERSION to either 1.1.5 or 1.1.6, it works. (Haven''t made a thorough checking though.) Here it seems there is no

hi all, i am looking for a host for my ROR web app. the target audience will be 70% from mainland china, and 30% from the rest of the world. i dont want a chinese hosst because: 1. it''s very slow for the rest of the world to access to it. 2. the speed is quite ok for china to access the us sites. both dreamhost and godaddy provide similar budget plans, and i saw them all from this
