Opening old project

Rails
1

Hello there,

On friend asked me to update his rails app…

But it’s app was made with Rails 1.2.3 and I can not start it on my
computer, Leopard, Rails 2.3

Does anybody have any advice on opening and updating old projects?

thanks!

Do you have Rails 1.2.3 installed or in the app’s vendor/rails
directory? If so, what errors are you getting? Just saying “it doesn’t
work” is not helpful.

It looks like you’re missing a gem as well. You should check what
gems are required for this project.

to start the old project as it is in your system you have to install
rails 1.2.3 So do this
gem install rails -v=1.2.3

Sijo,

thanks for your advice, I installed Rails 1.2.3

but I think Robin is right, I must install some missing gems, I am
still getting those gems errors…

thanks to all you guys!

You’re missing the rubyzip gem.
