Anything in ~projects/rails/hockey/vendor/rails? That will override any gems you have installed. -philip ---

environment variable removed and no, nothing in vendor (except an empty plugins diretory) and yet still when it starts up it says 2.2.2 On Thu, Jul 2, 2009 at 5:38 PM, Conrad T.

Ok now this is getting more frustrating. I did a gem cleanup and now I only have one version of rails installed: gem list --local rails \*\*\* LOCAL GEMS \*\*\* rails (2.3.2) But when I start the server it says: ruby script/server Missing the Rails 2.2.2 gem. Please `gem install -v=2.2.2 rails`, update your RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION setting in config/environment.rb for the Rails version you do have installed, or comment out RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION to use the latest version installed. I’ve commented out the line in my environment.rb: #RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION = ‘2.3.2’ unless defined? RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION and it still gives me the same message Even doing rake rails:update says: (in /Users/rick/projects/rails/hockey) Missing the Rails 2.2.2 gem. Please `gem install -v=2.2.2 rails`, update your RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION setting in config/environment.rb for the Rails version you do have installed, or comment out RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION to use the latest version installed. I even tried just defining the version in the environment.rb without the unless RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION: RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION = ‘2.3.2’ and still same error. What is going on?

No clue what the deal was but as a last ditch windows type effort (on a Mac) I rebooted. Sure enough the server is starting up using 2.3.2 ! No clue what the heck made the difference rebooting. I was even trying in new terminal windows to make sure it wasn’t some residual thing sourced in memory. Oh well, it’s working now. Thanks for the patience.
