Forum: Ruby on Rails Newbie: Bundle EACCESS

Hi everybody,

I'm actually following the rail for zombies tutorial and I have been
trying to get RoR installed on my computer for a few days. I followed
all the tutorials I found, tried all the different sources and methods
and it still doesn't work. If somebody can help me, I will make a statue
of him and create a new cult for him...

Anyway, here is the bug I know encounter (I could just go from one bug
to another):

I used the one click rails installer. Everything's OK, at the end, it
asks me my name and adress. I had already a problem here, now more or
less fixed. Then, when I am creating a new project (using git or the
command prompt are the same), at the line "run bundle install" I get the
following statement:
Fetching source index for https://rubygems.org/
Could not reach rubygems repository https://rubygems.org/
Could not find gem 'jquery-rails (>=0) x86-mingw32' in any of the gem
sources listed in your Gemfile.

I also tried to update gem:
gem update --system
ERROR: While executing gem...(Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)
  Errno::EACCESS: Permission denied - connect(2)
(http://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)

As I am connected behind the proxy of my school I tried to configurate
it (SET HTTP_PROXY=myProxy) but nothing changed. However, I don't know
much about this technology and I am not sure the parameters I got
are the good ones (I used netstat, tried with and without the domain...)
It worked in my neighbour's room, but we are not using the same OS
system so...

I have been using Windows 8 for some weeks, is there any known
compatibility problem?

Thank you for everything,

D

Sounds like you're missing some of the proxy configuration. See this SO
post for more ideas:

Especially note the comment about escaping backslash (\) characters; no
idea if it's relevant to your particular situation, but it's the kind of
easy-to-overlook detail that can break stuff.

Hey Matt,

Thank you for answering. Actually, Isolved my problem, which came from 
an accent in my name. The tricky thing was that only a part of the 
programm had a problem with it. So everything installed correctly but 
bundler refused to work.

Anyway, thx.
