Hi there, good people. I have a coworker who have a Rails 1.2 website (1.2.2 to be exact) and recently I installed in her workstation Rails 2.1. Obviously, her project doesn’t work in that version because the WEBrick ask to install the previous version. My question: Is there a way where these versions can coexist without making any conflict? Is there any solution? If not, how can I upgrade that project to 2.1 without any hiccups or major changes on the source code? Is there any tutorials where I can do this job? It’s very important because she needs to see it running again. Thanks in advance. Juan “The N.” Escajadillo. ---

Is there any solution? If not, how can I upgrade In a nutshell you’ve got two choices: either you freeze rails into the app (using the appropriately named rake tasks), which gives the app its own copy of rails in your\_app/vendor/rails or you fiddle RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION in environment.rb Fred ---

On another computer, install a higher Rails version, such as 1.4, change the RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION in environment.rb, and run rake rails:update. Then run all your tests (you do _have_ tests, right?), and commit your code if they pass. Then repeat for, say Rails 1.6. Keep walking the version up. At any time, if the tests fail, rock back to the previous baselined version, and then make whatever changes are needed so the tests would pass in the higher version. Then integrate (meaning pass all tests), and then try the next version again. You can keep going like that until you hit 2.1. Oh, and certain plugins will die, as their authors abandoned them. You can cover that by removing the plugins and commenting-out whatever features they provided. Then rebuild them. ---

Everything goes fine change the versión in environment.rb and updating with “rake rails:update”.

The results were a bit different because of the Scaffolding Extensions plugin I installed on her project. Now it’s asking me to install the MySQL gem. I found version 2.7 of it. According to various manuals, the installation is as follows: gem install mysql – --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql (where /usr/ local is the location of MySQL) Surely this will work, but one last question. How can I make dissapear the config.breakpoint\_server deprecation? I’ll post anynews here if this worked or not. Greetings. ---
