Dear all,

Is there something like phpinfo() for RoR? I have a dual install of  
ruby and would like to know which version I am actually using.  
Thanks in advance!

`ruby -v` at the commandline

Also for what version of Rails check the following:

- vendor/rails (if you have frozen rails)
- gem search rails
- if multiple versions of the gem are installed check  
config/environment.rb. If the gem version is listed that is the version  
you are using. Otherwise you are floating so the most recent gem is  
being used.

script/about in your rails app directory.

A more graphical “ruby script/about” would be to start the server  
\*ruby script/server  
\*and then clicking on “About your application’s environment” after  
pointing your browser to [http://127.0.0.1:3000/](http://127.0.0.1:3000/)

I considered the ‘ruby -v’ option of course but that will give me the  
Ruby version my commandline is using. And I am not convinced that  
Rails is using the same.  
But this ‘script/about’ and the graphical version thereof is exactly  
what I was looking for. I should have thought of this.

Thanks you all!
