It seems like your proxy in trouble.

or you can re install your rails  
gem install rails --source [http://gems.rubyonrails.org](http://gems.rubyonrails.org)

hi,  
thanks for the quickest reply Reinhart, i found the cause for this  
prb just after few minutes i posted this and i was about to reply to my  
own post :D. thr was a link hard coded in a file which was pointing to a  
dead end. i just changed that and the appl started working fine again.  
Thanks anyways… 🙂
