That seems counter intuitive. Are you sure that you want to freeze gems on the hosting server? You’re just going to end up with the same gems that will be loaded anyway.

sorry, I wasn’t that clear on that step. You need to freeze your gems in your development environment before you upload your project. On 4/25/07, Modpriest K.
