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.
