Different version of RoR on server

[Adam Akhtar-2]

I use rails 2.3.2. The server use 2.1.1. What do I do? Make a new app on
my side based on 2.1.1? If yes, how do I do that?

The best plan would be to get the server updated if possible.

The long way would be to install 2.1.1 via "gem install rails -v
2.1.1" and change the Rails version for the app in config/
environment.rb.

Thanks. I think I'll do that. Can change that in environment.rb without
making any other changes, considering the app is done for 2.3.2?

You will probably have to make other changes too, depending on how the
app itself is written.

Another options is to put rails 2.3.2 into the app structure itself:

On the development machine

rake rails:freeze:gems

This puts unpacks the gems which comprise rails ( activerecord,
activesupport, actionpack etc) under the vendor/rails

Assuming that deployment is via a repository (svn, git...) commit the
application making sure that vendor/rails is placed under version
control.

Then it doesn't matter what the current 'official' rails version is on
the server, it will use the same version you use in development.

This is a bonus both ways, you can use a later version than the one
installed as gems on the server, and you are isolated if the 'it guys'
update the rails gems without telling you, something which can easily
break your app.

What about creating a new app, can I specify what version to use? Like:

rails newapp -d mysql -v 2.1.1

Or something?

I might do this. What about updates? Will a new freeze get the latest
versions? And I can always unfreeze, right?

Freezing unpacks the gems into vendor/rails. Unfreezing is a simple as
blowing away that directory (there's probably a rake task that does
that too)

A possibly stupid question, but why do I get a .gem directory in my home
directory when I do freeze? Well I get the idea, but why not keep the
.gem in the app root or somewhere? What happens with my other apps
running, they will use the .gem too, right?

I run rails for development under LSWS that I have installed in my home
directory, with me as a user (to keep it simple). Everything else is gem
and Macports.

.gem isn't used for frozen stuff. It's something gem does in some
cases when ran as a user that can't write to the system wide gem
location.

Yep, one of my peeves with gem is that it does this.  I always want
gems to be installed in the system location, if I forget to sudo gem I
don't want it to be installed in my home directory.

I finally removed all permisions from my ~/.gem directory so if I
forget, it let's me know rather than giving me a useless install.

  chmod 000 ~/.gem

Clever. Thanks for the suggestion. :-)

hi,
the rails command accepts the version number, by prefixing and
appending the version number by underscore.
eg: rails _2.2.2_  newapp -d mysql
