Hi,

I’m trying to take a rails project built on gem version 1.2.6 and  
upgrade it to 2.0.2. So far, I haven’t changed anything except this  
line in the config/environment.rb file …

RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION = ‘2.0.2’ unless defined? RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION

when I start the server, I get this error:

What does it mean and any ideas how to fix/troubleshoot? Thanks, -
