Here is my mysql version:  
mysql Ver 14.7 Distrib 4.1.15, for portbld-freebsd5.3 (amd64) using  
4.3  
It is definitely something with RC 5 because I have not changed  
anything.  
Is there any way to downgrade back to the previous version of rails with  
gems?

gem uninstall activerecord -v 1.13.1

Hi Lou,

That worked, thanks, but now webrick doesn’t start again:

C:\ruby\anwendungen\shop\>ruby script/server  
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:194:in  
`report_activate_error': RubyG em version error: activerecord(1.13.0 not = 1.13.1) (Gem::LoadError) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:136:in `activate’

quire’  
from script/server:2

Any ideas? Downgrading rails via  
gem install rails -v 0.14.3  
produces an error (Error installing gem rails[.gem]: No metadata  
found!).

Thanks,  
Beate

for some reason gem isn’t able to download the rails gem file intact.  
You can manually download it at [http://rubyforge.lauschmusik.de/gems/](http://rubyforge.lauschmusik.de/gems/)  
and then install it locally:

gem install rails\*gem -l

In order to start webrick you now have to specify it on the command  
line,

script/server webrick

The default web server has been changed to lighty, which I don’t think  
you want (or even have).
