Rails 3?

Rails 3.0 beta has just been released. Has anyone tried installing it (or edge Rails 3) on RubyStack yet? There’s a writeup by Sam Ruby on how to install Rails 3 on Cygwin but it looks complicated. I wonder if it’s easier on top of RubyStack. Is it possible to vendor Rails 3 and its gems so that it can be used only in one project, without affecting Rails 2 projects?

Hi,

We have written a mini how-to guide to install Rails 3 on top of BitNami RubyStack: http://bitnami.org/article/the-easiest-way-to-t…

I hope it helps.

I was on RubyStack 2.0.0 when I tried out the install instructions described in the blog post and now I can’t figure out how to roll back to 2.3.5. ANy ideas?

Hi,

You can manage your rails installations using the gem command:

gem uninstall rails

And you can install a specific version with:

gem install rails -v 2.3.5

I was only using
> gem uninstall rails —version 3.0.0.beta
but was still getting 3 when I did a
>rails —version

Cheers for the last line :)
