Hi all,

I just upgraded to gems 0.9.5, and now I’m getting:

mathpeople: sudo gem install rails  
ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)  
OpenURI::HTTPError: 404 Not Found reading  
[http://gems.rubyforge.org/gems/activerecord-1.15.6.gem](http://gems.rubyforge.org/gems/activerecord-1.15.6.gem)

Am I doing something wrong, or is the server down?

Thanks,

Hadley

We’re having a spot of trouble with getting new gems sync’d out to the  
mirrors at the moment. I’ve disabled mirroring and [rubyforge.org](http://rubyforge.org) is  
just serving all the gems rather than redirecting to the mirrors. So  
“gem install rails” should work again…

Yours,

Tom
