specify the version you want to install sudo gem install rails -v 1.2.3 1.2.3 being the version you want On Jan 15, 8:51 pm, Ceros Ceros <rails-mailing-l...@andreas-s.net>

Let's say you did want 1.2.3 sudo gem install rails -v 1.2.3 will ensure that you have that version installed, however you still have 2.0.x installed as well. There are two options, one is to uninstall the 2.0.x version, the other is to specify the version when you generate your rails app rails _1.2.3_ myapp This is a standard feature of gem binaries, using a gem version number bracketed with underscores will cause the binary to look for and load that version of the gem. -- Rick DeNatale My blog on Ruby http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/

It's all MVC anyway, so it has to follow. Some may say it's wrong, but there's likely production code out there that can't just update overnight, so having a better understanding will (hopefully) make me more useful. any pitfalls to this please comment! thx

No real pitfalls, but I cannot think of any 'show stoppers' that would prevent you from using texts based on 1.2.x with Rails 2.x The only standout would be that the "scaffold" command no longer works (you *can* script/generate scaffold, just not use scaffold in a controller). That's not really a big deal, though, because you were never meant to use that in production and the point of the tutorials would be to move you out of scaffolding and into customized views.

Not really really the same thing though. in Rails 2.0.x script/generate scaffold will generate a restful controller, model, etc. The pre 2.0 tutorial examples I'm aware of don't use restful design so the generated code wlll confuse someone trying to learn Rails. For someone who wants to learn from a book, say AWDWR, I'd still recommend using Rails 1.2.3 rather than 2.0, and then move to 2.0 after getting some basic Rails knowledge, at which time I'd recommend "The Rails Way." -- Rick DeNatale My blog on Ruby http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/

I agree that there is a difference but it's not a "show stopper" as I said.
