Hi All, I installed ruby184-20 and rubygems-0.9.0 on my computer. When I tried to run C:\ruby\>gem install rails --include-dependencies, it showed the following message: Bulk updating Gem source index for: [http://gems.rubyforge.org](http://gems.rubyforge.org) ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::GemNotFoundException) Could not find actionpack (= 1.12.4) in the repository Could any one help to solve the above problem? Thank you in advance. Daniel ---

I checked rubyforge and there is not 1.12.4 version available for actionpack . Also I tried to download and install rails via a local gem install and got the same error about needing 1.12.4. Ben ---

Just an update. So far I have cleared the gem cache and resynced it and verified I am using 1.8.4.20 with gems .90. This does nothing to correct the problem but I thought I would put it out there so everyone could see and maybe help figure this one out. Darushin ---

It looks like a 1.1.5 release of Rails has been “half-released”. I noticed that rubyforge was down for a while earlier today, so maybe it went down halfway through a new version being uploaded? Anyway, you can get going by asking for version 1.1.4 instead: gem install --version=1.1.4 rails Works for me! paul.butcher-\>msgCount++ ---

Same error. I tried afeter a couple of hours and now this error: ERROR: While executing gem … (OpenURI::HTTPError) 404 Not Found I hope is just a temporary failure. It’s almost clear that the problem involves the gem’s broken indexes. I’m sure that the Gem Team is now aware of the issue and they’ll address it shortly. ---

Sounds like a transient problem caused by recent updates [1.12.4 is the version of ActionPack used by Rails 1.1.5]. Try again now, and you should be OK, and get Rails 1.1.6 and ActionPack 1.12.5.
