Hello,

```
I just did a rails -v and got Rails 1.2.3. I just realized that I

```

had installed the wrong version of ruby on my local environment.

How easy is it to downgrade to 1.1.2? Are there any big issues I  
should consider before doing this?

thanks,  
Clem R.

What do you mean by wrong version of Ruby? There’s no need to downgrade,  
however it can be done with:

sudo gem uninstall rails  
sudo gem uninstall activesupport  
sudo gem uninstall activerecord  
sudo gem uninstall actionmailer  
sudo gem uninstall actionpack

and then  
sudo gem install rails --include-dependencies --version=1.1.2

cheers,
